Personal: December 2007 Archives

I found an article that explains many of the inside jokes appearing in Pixar movies. Watching the movies repeatedly with my kids helped me notice most of these, but there were several I’d missed.

In my opinion, part of what makes Pixar and it’s movies great is this kind of fun-but-not-in-the-way stuff: there if you’re looking, gone if you’d rather just watch the movie. Brilliant.

I’ve been meaning to put together a good design for our blog for months now, but haven’t gotten to it yet. I keep hoping someone will create a great site design I can use, making it really easy for me. In the meantime, however, I decided to add a “Recent Bookmarks” section showing my ten most recent bookmarks from del.icio.us.

Years ago, I uploaded about 400 links from my Firefox bookmarks file to del.icio.us with the intention of cleaning up the list — making sure the links were still active and relevant — and making it public. I only just finished the process. It sure does take a lot of time to sift through hundreds of old, potentially broken links. From now on, I intend to keep the list up-to-date.

I also added a “Links” section that only has links for family and friends so far. I may add others at some point, but most of what I read regularly is either tagged on del.icio.us or stored in my Google Reader account.
