Canon reads the blogs from their New York headquarters.
So does the corporate mothership in Japan:
Their blog monitor clicked in on the most recent post, and tracked it to the original congrats on the good customer service.
Hey Canon-Japan… how about checking on that raise for Devin now?

Content Is King! Long Live the King!
about 1 month ago - 5 comments
Content is king.
It started with a Tweet by Jeremy Meyers, that said the following:
“Ironically, content about how “Content is King” is not an example of good content.”
I responded with:
“If Content were King, then Pink would have stayed dry.”
I was referring, of course, to Pink’s performance at the Grammy Awards, where she sang partially suspended and More >
Owning My Links
about 3 months ago - 1 comment
Part of the reason I started noodling with Wordpress was the ability to “own” my own site. Not have it hosted elsewhere, not beholden to anyone else’s whims and limitations. I can do what I want with the template and the look and the feel and the content. I can even move the URL around, More >
Shaking things up
about 5 months ago - 3 comments
It was time for a new look.
I liked the old look, but there was something about the old “old look” that was missing.
Yet, the “old” old look lacked several features.
This look will get some tweaking in the meantime.

Fools’ Gold

I was listening to the radio on the way into work the other morning, and heard something that bothered me.
The morning hosts were extolling the virtues of a paying client, which is exactly what you would expect them to do. This client, a jeweler, had just held a “sell your scrap gold” event this past More >

SEC Draws Line at Commercial Competitors
about 7 months ago - 41 comments
I just got my hands on the SEC’s new Social Media Guidelines for fans at sporting events, and I believe the new language is clearer and ought to placate the fan base.
Specifically, you’ll find two paragraphs that more clearly delineate what the conference would deem a “threat to commercial interests and contracts:”

Back in Business – almost

The issue here was a plugin, one that tries to minimize the load on servers by relying on Javascript libraries housed at Google.
The “Use Google Libraries” plugin needed updating, and that new version arrived tonight.
We will return you soon to pithy quotes and unusual perspectives. (Provided you have a computer monitor compatible with the new More >
More Wordpress Weirdness
about 9 months ago - 3 comments
I have diagnosed part of my problem.
The QuickRSS plugin I had active on my site was not playing nicely with the built-in RSS fetch in the Wordpress 2.8 administration panel.
I deactivated the plugin, and that problem is solved.
However, I still have no access to the visual editor.

Temporarily Vanilla
about 9 months ago - 1 comment
I just upgraded to the new version of Wordpress, and for now, I recommend you wait.
Something funky is going on in the background, so for the time being I bring you Retro-Occam. Plain vanilla theme, plain vanilla plugins.

Get Angry
about 10 months ago - 1 comment
Still somewhat inspired by Mark Story’s initiative, I thought I’d point out another person you ought to check out online.
Russ Nelson is The Angry Economist. He’s also an interesting guy, into just about anything involving freedom. He does open-source mapping, he bikes, he rows crew, and he jabs his virtual thumb into the virtual eye More >
