the season changes

by the way, some of you may have noticed the sidebar over there getting cluttered a bit. i added my del.icio.us feed to the sidebar. it will mostly be technology links, but every once in a while you might see neat games or blog tools. for along time i was not a fan of del.icio.us becuase it just cluttered up my already messy bookmarks. but recently i found a need to pull up bookmarks i would normally store at home or work or wherever i am. now i can throw them there with the cool firefox extension, and keep going about my day.
i’m a big nerd.
i also have digg setup to auto blog my link posts there. thus the reason for the recent digg article posts. if your a member of digg, go digg my stories and leave me some comments! if your not, go sign up and join the biggest social news site on the interweb!

if any of you remember winkydo.net/teck, i sadly lost all of my posts there whenever i changed webhosts and did not export my database correctly. bleh. :(

also, on the right side is my flickr badge. the images you will see there should be the most recent uploads i’ve made. i am also now using a wordpress extension that allows me to post images in my blog posts right from flickr. :) it’s worth checking out if your into that sort of thing. the only other big difference about my site is that i had to change my permalinks to accommodate this extension. so any tracebacks out there will be broken now. :(
i may teck up this blog from time to time, but it will mostly remain my life story.
