Hacked
One of my web sites, corybantic.us, was hacked recently! Weird…
I restored the modified files but left the hacked page up as well.
Thing a Day overview
I haven’t been posting every day, but I’ve been doing things every day.
On Wednesday the “thing” I made was a tattoo. On Saturday I took a picture of my sweet electric guitar. Today I made a hand-held fireball (following along with this youtube video). Friday I “made” Manu Ginobili of the Spurs sign […]

Today’s thing: A cube I made out of my business cards.
Here’s Tuesday’s thing.
Wednesday’s thing is kind of a secret, but I’ll be putting pictures up soon.
outside.in switches to rails
I wrote a post for outside.in’s official blog a few weeks ago detailing some of the troubles and successes (mostly the latter) we encountered when switching over from PHP to Ruby on Rails last fall. It was kind of a herculean task for Christian and I, but has been well worth it so far. […]

The Thing I made on Sunday was Pork Chili. This is a picture of the garlic, onions and jalapeños. The recipe is called Tierra Verde Chili, and contains no […]

Ok, I’m doing Thing A Day (http://www.thing-a-day.com/) this year!
I missed the official registration deadline, but that’s not going to stop me. I’m setting the bar rather low by just […]
Bush and the Tolstoy Syndrome
That is a clip from A Charge to Keep, Bush the younger’s favorite painting because he believes it reflects pioneering ideals — he sees a man forging on into the wilderness, blazing a trail for all to follow. The reality is somewhat different. That Harper’s article goes on to explain that Bush has “Tolstoy […]

Someone named John wrote me the other day to ask permission to use this pic of Volubilis on his myspace page. Cool.
Hatred in America
Talking Points Memo posted a video of Bill Moyers explaining Hillary’s LBJ quote from a while back. It’s worth watching if you haven’t seen it, although it seems the flap has mostly died down now. At the 1:33 mark there’s a photo from the fifties of some teenagers holding a sign that I’m not […]
Bobby Fischer, dead at 64
Bobby Fischer died today. What an interesting iconoclast.
A related side note: For the past week, Choire Sicha (pronunciation mp3), formerly of Gawker, has been guest-blogging for kottke.org all this week. Jason did this before, and both times I’ve found it interesting how the particular interests of the guest blogger take the blog […]
