Net Time vs. Face Time

kdfrawg | July 15, 2009

If you are reading this, you are spending at least some time on the internet, living in the virtual world. Almost by definition, the virtual world is much broader than our physical world, or at least there is much more of it accessible at one time. That is one of the things that makes it [...]

Plurktalk Late Night – July 22

kdfrawg | July 11, 2009

Plurktalk is a weekly live videocast that I do with several of my friends from Plurk. There’s more about it at this link. The first hour or two of the show is fun, joking around and personal stuff, mainly. Recently, we have been staying late into the night, often until one or two in the [...]

The Plight of Plurkfood

kdfrawg | July 9, 2009

Plurkfood began life quite a while ago, went like gangbusters for a while, and then just lost it’s heartbeat. It has been a long time since a recipe came in (Wow! One came in today!) It has also been a long time since we have pushed the site. I think there is a limit to [...]

Plurkiverse, the Web site

kdfrawg | July 8, 2009

As many of you probably know, I own the domain name Plurkiverse and have published a Web site by that name. I bought the name and put the site up during a very short hiatus between blogging-for-dollars gigs (the tech blog site went broke!), when I was at loose ends. I loved Plurk immediately, the [...]

Musings, in General

kdfrawg | July 7, 2009

In speaking with a friend last night, I wondered what sort of name I should give to posts that have little to do with business, or with ?talents?, or even with sites or services. More like the post titled 101 things about me, but generally more contemplative. I, the writer, was searching for a word, [...]

Scribbling with purpose

kdfrawg | July 6, 2009

I have alluded herein to being a writer. That has even brought comments, suggestions, and the idea (freely given by a wonderful person) that I use this blog as a vehicle to push my writing career along. So here is yet another post about writing, which may or may not be more interesting or better [...]

Those damned shirts

kdfrawg | July 5, 2009

I was just at my uploads page on Youtube, where these videos blogs actually live, and I noticed thereon what I had previously noticed in real life. Sometimes it appears as if I wear the same shirt several days in a row. Yeah, I’m a guy, but I’m not that much of a guy. I [...]

A few Amercan sunsets

kdfrawg | July 4, 2009

I have always loved sunsets, and have arranges to live in places with a good view of them, especially views that included the Pacific ocean. Here are a few of the thousands and thousands of sunset photos that have enriched my life. Click on the thumbnail for a larger view.

101 things about me

kdfrawg | July 3, 2009

There was a rage a while ago to reveal, 6, or 10, or 15 things about oneself. I am nothing if not an over-achiever, and nothing if not random. Therefore, what follows are 101 random things about moi, in no particular order, primarily without context, and in very little order of any kind.  There are [...]

A True Techie No More

kdfrawg | July 3, 2009

Just after university, I bought into a small construction company and helped to turn it into a larger one. As a part of that, I suggested that we start doing construction estimating for others as a way of maximizing winter revenue. We already had an IBM  mag-card typewriter in the office, and I had heard [...]
