Hey (e:peeps). The seemingly simple job application field "website" brought me back here – the closest thing to the 'story of my life' still accessible on the web. I started compiling this particular time capsule to supplement my cover letter for Content Strategist at Mozilla, until I noticed they are no longer accepting applications. A day late and a dollar short again! Since both "website" and "cover letter" were optional, I should have gone ahead and applied last week. At least now I'll have a head start for next time.

Blast from the Past

Hey (e:peeps), remember me? I was unsuccessfully trying to fix an inlink that doesn't link and figured I better blog about it.

Maybe I'm using an outdated theme that doesn't support inlink formatting updates? Or maybe I'm supposed to update my inlinks and don't know how? I can't figure out how to change my theme either, which just goes to show how longs it's been and/or how old I've gotten.

I'm also getting some weird errors, so maybe I'm on double-secret probation for being gone so long. Please forgive me!

Here is an inlink [inlink]twisted,36584[/inlink] to the blog with the inlink issue.

And an external link formatted with the link tool:


And one just typed in raw:


The external link's article_id parameter is "undefined" so maybe that's a clue?

Mentioning (e:paul), (e:joe), and (e:admin). I hope you guys don't get notified every time I update this post, since I've been using it as a test.

UPDATE: I figured out how to change my theme, but that didn't fix the issue. Still probably operator error.

Native Guide


imageI'm officially seeking collaborators for SF Native Guide (aka estripwest v2, haha). Seriously, I miss Alamedalink, and blogging platforms have come such a long way, even I can build a site now (almost). So I'm giving it a shot over my sabbatical. What do you think? It's about time I got back to the master plan.

Happy Birthday Paul!

Wow, it's been so long! Since I didn't get you a gift, here's an update.

For starters, my tenant gave notice and moved out last November. This was great news, but bad timing. It would have been crazy not to take advantage of the vacancy to pull out the wall-to-wall carpeting and refinish the floors, replace the kitchen cabinets, and tile the bathroom floor.

Only bad part is, I'm still deep in debt from my own renovation, and I already had plans to go "home" for Christmas before I knew about this. So naturally when the IKEA kitchen cabinet order turned out to lack certain key items the day before I flew east, it was hard to take care of everything before I left. But not taking care of it would have been worse, since the longer I'm paying for that unit without any income from it, the harder it is to pay off my old and new debts.

Anyway, I'm so sick of all this renovating now. It's like a second job, that apparently I'm not so good at. The scariest part was yesterday, when my contractor managed to leave two stove burners on (long story) while the floor guys were sanding and putting on the final coat of highly flammable finish. What are the odds? You can see my footprints on the floor finish since I had to get to the oven (9 hours later) to turn off the burners before the building exploded or we all passed out from the fumes.

Anyway! The good news is, now I'm planning to use the unit as a furnished vacation rental. So if anybody wants to visit me, they'll have their own, furnished apartment to stay in! This better be worth it . . .

Happy Birthday Paul! (And Happy Birthday to my brother Erik too!)

Best of Halloween Video

My friend Steve sent me a DVD with highlights from his past Halloween parties. I figured I'd do my part toward making 25,000 journals by posting it here. You might recognize some of these shots from (e:Twisted,36393) Ghost of Halloween Past post.



Have a great Halloween, everyone!
