Watch The Olympic Opening Ceremony Online
I missed the opening ceremonies for the Olympics in Beijing and I wanted to watch them online. Searching around, it took quite a while for me to find them. Perhaps I’m just dumb, but I imagine I’m not alone. So, if you want to watch the replay of the opening ceremony, you need to go [...]
Test Post From Iphone
This is a quick little test post using the WordPress app for the Ihpone. It obviously works, however it would obviously be totally grueling to write a long this way. Also, it would be nice if the app could tilt sideways like Safari will. The keyboard is so much easier to use in the wider [...]
Bloggers: Don’t Be a Fat Ass
One of the biggest drawbacks of this job (being a professional blogger) is that you sit – A LOT. And if you’re not careful, it will catch up with you. I’ve let it catch up to me. Hi, my name is David Risley and I am a fat ass. OK, if you saw me in [...]
Bloggers for Obama: Lemmings for Something Shiny?
Let me take a moment and potentially do something mildly stupid: step my foot into politics. No, I’m not going to pull a Dave Winer on ya and go all political, don’t worry. We’re in the election season and that means we’re seeing lots of politics online. Since I follow social media, I can clearly [...]
My Blog Was Hacked (I Think) – The Story
Part of having a website online – especially a popular one – is that, well, shit happens. And it can become a target for hackers. I am not sure if what happened to PCMECH was a result of intentional hacking or something else. Nonetheless, PCMECH was down for close to 16 hours. The only reason [...]
Playing With the Layout
I am playing around with a design change on this website. Things might look a bit weird as I fine-tune things. You can catch the name and link to the theme in the footer (pretty nice theme). Now, I am doing my customizations. So bear with me. Thanks for playing.
Out With the Old, In With The New
Since this is also a personal blog, I sometimes will talk about purely personal things. And this post will be case in point. I finally upgraded my car. For the last 7 years, I have been driving a 1997 Honda Accord SE. It now has 161,000 miles on it. While the car sure isn’t going [...]
Turning 30. My Wish.
My reaction? Ehh. And that pretty much sums it up. I turned 30 yesterday. As you get older, birthdays are just days. Even the so-called “big 3-0″ doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. We went out to breakfast. I spent the day working. Then in the evening, I took the night off, ate [...]
How Hard Do Bloggers Work?
I had an interesting (and frustrating) conversation (aka argument) with my wife last night. To anybody with kids, this will probably sound all too familiar. My wife is a stay-at-home mom and that means she is pretty much with our 4 month old daughter all the time. This is a necessary and downright invaluable job. [...]
