Managing My Web 2.0 Life
After going through the whole process to create a Flickr account, I realized my URL of choice, /silversteelwolf, was already taken—by me. I had created another account months ago and promptly forgotten both about it and the login information for it. I’ve spent the past several days sending emails back and forth to Yahoo customer…

Importing to Facebook
For a while now I’ve been importing these blog posts as notes into my Facebook account via the handy-dandy RSS feed Blogger provides.

For whatever reason, I’m attempting to reanimate this place. Maybe it’ll get to the point where I can actually promote this as my website again. I’m going to University of…

Hit the Road, John
Well, it’s my fault for not writing this immediately when I was thinking about it. Towards the end of last week, I took it upon myself to fix the Xbox display at my store (CompUSA). Several weeks before, the Xbox rep had come by and naturally was annoyed that the system didn’t work. She shipped me some…
