I found this the other day, I think via WWdN:iX and it’s just great. The blog is called Indexed. The author draws diagrams on index cards and scans them in. They’re about random stuff, and usually by looking at the diagram and the post heading you get the joke. Here’s a funny one, titled Not […]

Congratulations to all the gay and lesbian couples in NJ who can now (quasi) marry! ;-)  The tides are slowly turning.
As New Jersey Opens Door to Civil Unions, Couples Rush In - New York Times

The Republican Governor of Florida spoke out against pointless anti-gay marriage bans. I’m glad to hear a conservative in a position of power with some sense in their heads speak up about this.

I’ve been incredibly fortunate as a gay man. I work at a company that is probably one of THE most GLBT-friendly workplaces in the world (we consistently get a 100 rating from HRC).

We’ve decided to start the adoption process. Ian and I have always known we would, the question was just […]

And it’s caused by us. And it’s gonna get really nasty in the coming years, decades and centuries if we don’t do […]

I heard Molly Ivins had passed away this morning. I don’t have any specific quotes to make from her work, and I can’t really even recall her positions on anything, or whether I agreed with her most of the time. It just was one of those things that sparked a memory in me when I […]

Well, I’ll toot my own horn a bit. AA.com is now in Spanish! Check it out:

This was a very big, exciting project. The process of internationalization and localization of a software product (like a website) is no small task. It’s a very different way of looking at things. This was also a new experience for […]
