This past Monday marked the 5th anniversary of my first-ever blog post. Egads.

Tiffany has a new project. If I could only get a recruiter as good as her here in DFW…
Have more frequent-flyer miles than you know what to do with? Well, transfer some to me! I’ve got to get back to the islands!
Seriously, if you have more miles than you think you’re going to use any time soon, here are some web sites that might be able to help:
MileDonor.com: up to 80 charities accepting point donations from 17 different airline programs
Points.com: trade in your miles, buy yourself an Iced Mocha Frappicino Grande. Or a new jacket.
Mileage Plus: 10,000 United miles = 100 downloads from Sony’s music service. Someone ping me when it works with iTMS.

For those among us who are Technorati fiends, they have announced a mobile verison. I love the succinct URI.
People from time zones west of here should iChat me immediately. Especially if they’re twentysomething women who like to tell weirdo Internet writers how great they are all the time.
Middle-aged men pretending to be twentysomething women are okay too, as long as it’s convincing. You let it slip just once that you’re actually a forty-seven year old tire salesman who’s sitting in his enormous store-brand boxers with a Gateway on his lap, and the whole fucking thing is just ruined.
At least I can go to sleep tonight with something truly funny rolling around in my head. Come on, people, tip the man.
Kevin Hale of Particletree offers up some XHTML + CSS templates so you can get your next web design project quickly off the ground. Already in my bookmarks, and will definitely be a starting point for me in the future.

I have been lamenting the fact that I did not go with a Flickr Pro account a few months back, instead opting for another service. At the time, it was probably the reasonable decision, as the Flickr Pro accounts didn’t have all of the amenities they do now.
So I had actually been considering anteing up for the Flickr Pro account, because I realized I would use it more than the other service.
Tonight, out of the blue, during an IM conversation, Eric offers me a free-for-a-year Flickr Pro account he was given as a in-beta Flickr Pro account holder. “Problem” solved!
However, even though I am filled with gratitude for Eric’s generosity, he doesn’t want word getting out. He’s trying for that curmudgeon rep, and if he appears all nice and everything, that will never happen. So make sure you don’t link to this post any where. Maybe you shouldn’t even be reading it. Maybe I shouldn’t be writing it. Maybe I should delete it…
Not sure where I found this, as it was jotted on a card in my Hipster. A free service, you can perform reverse DNS lookups. If you don’t know what DNS is, don’t bother clicking.
I happened to look at my archives page a moment ago, and noticed that in any given month, I have never cracked triple digits with the number of monthly posts. The closest I have come was 94 posts in February 2003. I just found this interesting, and thought I would share.
Actually, his blog is two years old. Happy Blogiversary, my friend!
