Walljm.com and A Blog Apart are currently in the middle of switching registrars. I wanted to let every one know that if walljm.com is unavailable for a few days over the next couple weeks, that is why. We apologize for any inconvience this might cause, and we hope every had a great Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year. :)

In a fit of fun and code, I made a home made cam with my Canon 10D. I present to you a series of 50 photographs of me at my computer. Just wait, they refresh every 5 seconds…

on another note… this was spotted on a mezzoblue discussion: Three DIVs for the design-gods painting on macs, Seven for the usability-lords in their websites of grey, Nine for windoze geeks doomed to debug, One for the zeldman on his *page of orange, In the land of New York where the pundits cry. One DIV to size them all, One DIV to pad them, One DIV to colour them all and in their browser style them In the land of W3 where the standards lie. (hat tip: zeldman) *the original said "One for the zeldman on his orange page" and…

The Return of the King: In depth review Just so you know, this is very much a working draft. I’d like to perhaps expand it to include all three movies, and to become a much larger review and critique. But I don’t have a draft feature built into my CMS, so it falls that I must do it publicly. I want it online because I will almost certainly forget or lose it if i try to keep it on a computer somewhere, so here goes. Don’t expect any real cohesiveness yet, or completion of thoughts and issues I raise. Oh,…

Its a Girl! Noelle Arwen Wall was born just a few hours ago to Jeremy and Julie. More details as I get them…

In a review of the Return of the King, it is said by Roger Friedman of Fox News that: The “Lord of the Rings” trilogy does exactly what “The Matrix” didn’t: It’s improved with each film, fleshing out the characters, simplifying plotlines and making them plausible. The human dimension of the trilogy is what has made it such an incredible hit. Jackson and everyone involved at New Line Cinema – most especially composer Howard Shore and co-executive producer Mark Ordesky – can take pride in having made three landmark movies that are instant classics.

Julie’s water broke completely, at 9:00am or so by the looks of it. As of right now, they are at the Hospital waiting. Things are going well. Prayers and such are in order… happy times…

Sister-In-Law Update For those of you who know my sister-in-law, otherwise knows as PokeyPixie, you might be interested to know that her water broke last night. As of this morning at 8:00am, she was leaking amniotic fluid (i don’t know what that means), and the doctors were going to try to stop the contractions and discover the cause of the amniotic fluid leak (sounds like i’m talking about a car!?!). If they can stop the contractions, they will send her home, otherwise she will have to stay in the hospital for a while. That’s all I know for now, further…

He could be my brothers body double… This photo by Khoiuong is freaky only because it looks so remarkably like my older brother. Seriously… too weird.

In light of the recent google bombing of the Presidents Biography, I just want to point out that the Democratic Party is also a miserable failure. (Hat Tip: Jeremy)

Jason’s Daily Links Greg Apodaca Photoshop Portfolio is currently blowing my mind. The No Font Experiments seem to indicate an intelligent and curious mind. I especially liked the ergonomics of a book. A Hobbit trailer by fans made from pieces of LOTR. The Evolution of Type Fixed Width Designs have distinct advantages.

Of Poetry and Free Verse Thoughts of poetry and the problem of free verse are once again brought to the forefront of my mind. In a comment by Ashley, she makes reference to my dislike of the form. Before describing my thought on the matter, I want to make this preface: I do not consider myself a better poet than writers whose form is primarily free verse. I do respect them and value their insight a great deal. My issue with free verse is that its over used and terribly misunderstood. Speaking in generalities, the majority of free verse, by…

It’s been far to long since I’ve last written a poem worth posting. But here it is: Faere Roses Sweet dreams and faere roses Bedeck thy bedroom window Spreading sweet the fragrances You smell upon your pillow While you dream of fondest wishes Beneath the nightscape willow

The Daily Wall Not much has been happening, but because you are all such faithful readers I must write anyway, eschewing the lazy habit of not posting at all. My roomate bought the soundtrack to Once Upon a Time in Mexico, a movie I didn’t see, because we decided that it didn’t have any real redeaming qualities, being about murder and mayhem and all. But the soundtrack is nice, very spanish, somewhat mournful. It makes you want to do the cha cha cha. I’ve succeeded in getting up twice before the 7:00 am hour, a feat seldom sean around this…

Today I woke up early. I know, catch your breath, its ok. It doesn’t happen very often, and its cause for some surprise, but don’t get yourself in a tizzy, you see, I had an appointment to keep. Today I did one of those crazy things I’m known to do from time to time, and I drove down to Arkansas to pick up Ashley for Thanksgiving. The weather was lovely, and after a very minor mishap with a wrong turn or two, we found ourselves at Harding University, meeting the lovely Miss Ash, who was very cool and quite charming.…

In an article in New York Magazine, Naomi Wolf discusses The Porn Myth. I’ve argued this issue with people before, but I’ve never heard as convincing or lucid an explanation of the real world damage done by public nudity and pornography as in her article. Its well worth reading. (hat tip:Jon)
