- Verizon giving an early phone upgrade (LONG time customer). Can't decide between Blackberry models. The 8330 or the 8530? Any recommends? #
- Props to @ubertwiter (Paul) for changing my Blackberry pin so fast on Christmas eve. That's customer service, baby! So refreshing. #
- Heh. Verizon is sending out "thanks for staying with us" emails now on upgrade. I don't know why I find it amusing, but I do. #

- Whew… Looks like we might have dodged the MTV bullet after all. http://bit.ly/6M3cLc #surfcity #
- Moved back to Missing Sync for Blackberry last night. Got tired of having to dig out USB cable for every sync w/ BB Desktop Manager. #
- Upgraded a machine to Snow Leopard. Now AppleScript droplet to open FileMaker 6 files en masse with admin password is broken. *sigh* #
- Simple fix to AppleScript droplet problem: Coerce file path alias into a text string before passing to the "open" command. Crisis averted. #
- WTF? Rebooted my Verizon Wireless Blackberry, and suddenly there's a Bing "app" installed. Um, I'd prefer you ask me if it's okay first VZW. #
Tweets for the Week
- Spent the afternoon using Magic Mouse on a project. Gotta say: Pretty darned slick. Feels natural, and the scroll/swipe action is awesome. #
- Also, it's no noisier on my bare desk than the corded Mighty Mouse I've been using. Cash well spent (along w/ DiskWarrior purchase). #
- Picked up a Magic Mouse today. Packaging not as hard to get into as others have complained about. Two pull tabs & the thing was in hand. #
- Think it's time to pony up for DiskWarrior though. Must brave the rain & mall madness to make Apple store run. Maybe pick up Magic Mouse too #
- Drive zeroed. Restoring from backup. Thank god for SuperDuper! Saved my bacon many times over now. Best utility for the job IMHO. #
- "Keys out of order" error on MacBook Pro again. Backup, erase & restore. There goes 3+ hours of productivty. Dang. #
- Got an awesome candy basket from client for holidays. If there's one way to get more out of me, it's to send Junior Mints. Nom, nom, nom… #
- Oh Good Lord, please tell me this isn't so! MTV's The Real World invading Huntington Beach. Maybe? http://bit.ly/6vV4H0 #surfcity #

Bogart Wordpress Theme Finally Updated
I’m very pleased to announce that after a few days of nose to the grindstone, my Bogart Wordpress theme has been updated in a major way, and is now released as a full-fledged “1.0″ version.
Lots of enhancements went into this release. First, there’s the use of a custom display font for the “H tags” (H1, H2, etc.) using the next big thing, @font-face styling. They face used is “Tiresias Infofont“. It’s a nice, modern display font. For other free fonts that can be used in CSS & HTML pages/themes, visit Font Squirrel. There is a metric ton of cool faces available for use there.
Second, the main navigation now supports drop-down menus for subpages. See it in action by hovering over the Projects link in the navigation menu above, you’ll see a drop-down for all of my themes — that is, unless you’re browsing with IE6, and if you are, shame on you. Get with the times already…
Third, Bogart now properly handles threaded comments, which were introduced in Wordpress 2.7.
Last, but not least, depending on the type of page (index, post or page) you can set up the left sidebar column to use different widget configurations. If you want one widget to display on your index page, and some other on a single post, you can have it. If you don’t want post related widgets on your non-post pages, you can have that too. The right sidebar is shared among all page types, so you can put the widgets you want on all pages there.
There are a lot of other little style related things that make the theme overall more pretty, and more modern than its predecessors. If you’re using Bogart already, I know you’ll really like this version.
Head on over to the Bogart page and download yourself a copy. You’ll be glad you did. Or, if you want to see the theme in action, browse the site.
Let me know what you think.

- RT @usermac: "then" is the new "than". Just as "prolly" is the new "probably". #
- Dentist visit this morning. He commented how much grayer my hair has gotten over the past 2 years. Thanks for adding insult to injury, doc. #
- Going to brave the local Fry's Electronic store to *maybe* buy a new LCD monitor. If you don't hear from me in three days, send help… #
- Forgot MS Remote Desktop kills filename capitalization. Just overwrote 45 files w/ weird #CamelCase naming patterns. Wish MS would fix that. #
- Ever have one of those mornings where mopping up the hot spots for others impedes progress on what you really need to do? Yeah, me either. #
