Techno Anality…

January 12, 2006 11:02 pm

Ok, so some of my posts… I don’t know why, but when I post them, they screw up the width of my site and the top banner does not match up with the main body and the footer anymore.  Its hard for me to explain to you how much this upsets me, I probably will in truth lose sleep over this.  Just another example of how technology slowly undoes all of its promises and engulfs what could have been a productive life…

Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.  ~Aldous Huxley

I feel cool…

January 6, 2006 1:30 am

So I am figuring out this WordPress / Cascading Style Sheet stuff.  And I always feel pretty cool when I can make some silly piece of technology do what I wish.  So I made my own theme, well that is I took someone elses and changed it around a bit… much thanks too nathaniel stern and his theme, artsemerging.

Some Rules

December 11, 2005 10:54 pm

Be Honest
Don’t Advertise

I want this to be honest. What good would it be to have a personal blog site if you could not have honest personal ideas? What if you became someone slightly different for your online alter ego? That is not my intention, and I considered starting this whole thing up under some sort of pseudo name that would not be so obviously linked to me; anything other than www.shanesevo.com. But that seems to cut me just as hard on the other side, anonymity seems to be rather cloistered… and that’s not what I want. So I figured I would just split the difference and agree with myself not to promote myself, specifically my blogging entries. If it gets found or comes up in a natural conversation I will not hold back its existence, but I will not promote traffic. We’ll see how this works, perhaps I will have more rules later…

Big Blog Hopes

It would be nice to keep a journal. I think I have about one true, worthwhile, meaningful thought per day. Maybe two on a good day. I have long since nodded at the tremendous value of being one who journals these ideas and keeps track of how they develop from day to day. But I lack discipline. No one is expecting me to do this, so there isn’t much for accountability either. But I love technology… and perhaps in the midst of tweaking a website, playing with databases, and updating graphics I will also find a habitual joy in cataloguing my daily thoughts… wouldn’t that be nice.
