The first domain I ever bought was xero79.com some seven years ago. I've since let it go and I am no longer the owner of it. It was the home to my first blog. xero79 was and still is my yahoo user name. I made it up probably over 10 years ago now.
It was a good domain and it will be missed.
So working from home is a trip. There are good things and bad things about it but like most things, it's not gonna last forever.
I haven't exactly set the world on fire with my blogging here like I said I was gonna, but I think that's just a combination of trying too hard, being busy, and really not having much interesting to say. The bloggers' delimma revisited. As a result, I've decided to say "F it", I'm going to post the mundane and boring even if it's not exactly gripping content.
What got me back in the swing of blogging again is a new sports fan site called Fan Nation. If you sign up for an account they automatically give you a blog to post your sports thoughts to. I've been taking advantage of that and posting my predictions on the baseball playoffs. Check my user profile out if yer so inclined. And leave me a comment damn it. I know peeps have been going to my blog posts on there but no one is saying anything. What kind of sports fan doesn't pipe up and say I'm full of shit or defend their team or at the very least thank me fo rmy wisdom?
My cousin got married this past weekend in La Jolla by the beach. My gf met the Mir side of the family and she di
dn't go running for the hills so that must be a good sign. The family didn't eat her alive as well so that is a bonus.Not much is going on at this particular moment. I've been doing the more random and inconsequential "blogging" over on twitter. It's the greatest thing ever. Just what I've been wanting. Kinda like back in 2000 when I wanted some online tool to help me self publish. Back then I found Blogger and now I have twitter. And the funny thing is both companies were started by Evan Williams. Swell guy. I remember him helping me personally to keep my blog up and running before Google bought Blogger.
I'm really looking forward to things these days. Particularly the upcoming Bridge School concert up in Mountainview. Not this weekend but the next. Give me Pearl Jam and Neil Young anytime and life is good. Add in a little Death Cab for Cutie, Dave Matthews Band, Brian Wilson, Trent Reznor, Foo Fighters, Gillian Welch, and Devendra Banhart and things are borderline great. It's my little yearly retreat so to speak and this will be year number 13 for me. Woo hoo!
