Chuck’s newest girl
by Mark on Feb.04, 2010, under entertainment
It appears that my posts a few years back about Rachel Bilson’s guest spot on Chuck has been getting some attention since Kristin Kreuk has joined for a few episodes as Hannah.
I haven’t yet had a chance to watch this week’s episode of Chuck, so I can’t do much right now to comment and talk about Hannah. Rest assured that I’ll have more soon. Sorry for the delay!
Thoughts on LOST

I’m just going to vomit into this post my thoughts on the season premiere of LOST as I watch it (just a few hours behind). Thoughts after the jump (there will be spoilers).

Project 52 – 52 self portraits in 52 weeks
by Mark on Jan.07, 2010, under life story
I’ve pulled the trigger. I am committing myself to this for 2010. I am going to take 52 self portraits this year, one each week, starting with this one:
I really want to put the T1i to good use, and I think this is a great way to do it. I hope to develop my photography skills throughout the year. I was inspired to do self portraits, rather than just general photographs, by Lauren Randolph and her 365 in 2009.
I have wanted to do Project 365 for the past couple of years, and I have failed miserably at each attempt (like this one). My failures were mostly rooted in forgetfulness and a lack of creativity. We’ll see how this goes. I think I have a much better chance at succeeding, needing to only come up with about 1/7 of the photos needed for Project 365.
Wish me luck!

My friends don’t listen to enough pop music. So, here’s almost five minutes that will recap the year’s top 25 pop hits, according to Billboard. Enjoy!
DJ Earworm has also made the mp3 available.

Holiday fun

The only problem with this video is that there’s one person missing:
If only Christmas 2009 could be like this (plus me – I’m hiding in one of the boxes, yeah, that’s the ticket!):
We miss you, Pete! Merry Christmas out there!
Housekeeping
by Mark on Dec.19, 2009, under life story, technology
After upgrading the blog to WP 2.9, I decided to do a little virtual housekeeping. For cleaning up post formatting (and some terrible writing), I am done with posts through May 2003. That leaves me with just under 8,990 posts to finish cleaning up.
I have also cleaned up my tags and categories a bit. I have rethought how I will use categories. At one point, I had completely dropped them (with the exception of the general category) in favor of using tags. I think I am not going back to having a few top-level categories, and then I will use tags to add some more info to the metadata for each post. In cleaning up the tags, I have ensured that any tags consisting of multiple words will include spaces between those words; I am no longer going to use camelCase.
For now, I’ve got to put the housekeeping aside because I was supposed to go shopping for presents while Chris was out of the house. With that, I am leaving for Target.
If you’ve got a WordPress blog, you should upgrade to 2.9. And if you’re like me, and you’ve had a blog running for a while, you may want to consider doing a little housekeeping.
Aside: I was sidetracked for about an hour after editing my early post on West Wing. I started reading about the line of succession.
