God of Multitasking

Stuff like this usually offends me (yeah, I'm a hypersensitive Leo, waddayagonnado), but this is just freaking funny. It's an animated New Yorker cartoon, published by RingTales. The podcast (link opens iTunes) is free and the content is published on their web site as well; it's just that the whole bleepin' thing is Flash, so I can't link to an individual cartoon (grr).

This just landed in my inbox. I don't even like Häagen-Dazs ice cream, just their mango sorbet. But... *dayam* does that look mouth-watering.

Lub: Häagen-Dazs

Bedtime "Reading", originally uploaded by justG..

I used to actually read books. Before I got my iPhone, I didn't even have the "Movies" and "TV Shows" categories visible in my sidebar. Now I get to watch an episode or two before going to sleep. =)

Lub: VisualHub, BtVS, HandBrake

Optimum Online BOOST Before/After

Optimum Online BOOST Before/After, originally uploaded by gitagrrl.

Um.. $10-$15 more a month, still less than what I paid in Orlando for 8Mbps service. Worth it? Shyah.

Death Does Not Become Him

nobody@vox.com(justG) — Sun, 22 Jul 2007 03:10:40 -0400

My friend Dawn posted a tweet a couple weeks ago about an article in the Arizona Daily Sun. The article's about Personal Locator Beach technology being used for the first time at Grand Canyon National Park. I make note of it because it's of some personal relevance to me.

Seven years ago, my friend Gilad passed away. I don't know the exact date, since a few days passed between when we reported him missing and when he was found, so I just generally remember him at around this time. He was hiking on one of the trails there and collapsed from heat exhaustion; he was 25 years old. He went off by himself, leaving the bottled water sitting in the car, thinking that it was just a little heat and he could handle it. It was the same attitude I had when I moved to Phoenix the year before, so I understood it well. Those of us who relocated to Phoenix from NYC quickly learned that the desert's heat isn't something to be taken lightly, but Gilad was just over for a visit, he didn't know.

Gilad is a beautiful soul. Had this technology been available and in use then, he'd still be here, bobbing his head to The Doors' Light My Fire or The Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up and telling me that I just *had* to go have sake with him. But it wasn't, and he's not, and I hope that wherever he is, he's as happy as can be.

Welcome back, me!

So what had happened was, some time went by between blog entries, and then I felt out of sorts, all disjointed and stuff, so more time went by, and then I just felt silly, so I gave up. But between then and now, I've found myself, on occasion, gazing with jealousy upon tumblr-hosted tumblelogs. Today, when the urge to start my own became overwhelming, I thought that before I made yet another half-assed attempt to blog, I should see what's been going on with Vox over the past eight months.

Whoa. This place has changed a lot. There's a lot of cool new stuff here. The one thing I still like about Tumblr is its simplicity, both in form and in function. Tho' it, too, can serve as a hub to observe my updates on various social networks and web sites, it remains clean and uncluttered. I still find Vox cluttered and overwhelming. I can simplify my profile to remove some of the clutter, taking out the widgets I've added and Vox's own modules, but then I lose functionality. No good.

The single thing that makes Vox nearly as appealing as Tumblr (just for the solo microblogging experience, mind you) is the new Vox This bookmarklet, an absolutely fantastic new feature. Haven't tried it yet, looking forward to doing so. Solo microblogging experience aside, I'm diggin' groups on Vox, at least in theory. I'll have to see how they play out in reality. I just went and joined a bunch of 'em, so I'll see how it goes.

In other news, after nearly 5.5 years of living in Orlando, I'm finally - finally! - getting out of Florida. I'm moving back home to NY in two weeks!
