If you don’t keep up with my comments in the HOWLER MONKEYS section to the right, you’re missing out on some really fun stuff. For instance, after my post about ClearPlay, the comments became the platform for an interesting discussion on religion, morals, children, child rearing, and censorship. I think my rebuttal to the latest … Read more
I make my living on the Internet. Without it, I don’t make money. I’ve had intermittant access since around December 30th and when I do have access, it’s dialup. In my opinion, anyone who still uses dialup probably sports a mullet, drives a camaro and eats at McDonalds regularly. I have an even lower opinion … Read more
Posting might be lighter than usual this week. We’re moving into our new deluxe apartment in the skies high above South Kihei. Hope your holiday week was fabulous.
Naming your blog is possibly the most important step in this whole blogging business. For instance, Grace D. chose I Am Dr. Laura’s Worst Nightmare as the title of her blog. As you can imagine, her chosen name pushes buttons like a checker at the grocery store. Before I stumbled on the name The Monkey … Read more
As you can see, I’ve made a few alterations to the monkey diaries. I’m tooling around with CSS (cascading style sheets) in anticipation of a project I might be working on. I have a love/hate relationship with CSS that began a few years ago when I left Blogger (or bloogle if you’re paying attention) for … Read more

I realized that I’ve landed on a number of blogs in the past year or so that claim to be written by self-entitled “princesses” (what’s the plural of a princess? princei?). I did a search… somewhere in the vicinity … Read more
An alternative title might be: The One In Which I Call 3 Million Bloggers Crap. Sometime on July 6, 2004, Technorati tracked its 3 millionth weblog. According to other sources*, there are about 8,000-17,000 new weblogs created daily (avg: 15,000) which means that 1 blog is created every 5.8 seconds. These blogs unleash somewhere in … Read more
None of my favorite blog reads is posting much lately. It seems they all have left for 4 day weekends. Bastards… you better have interesting posts when you return!
So remember my maniacal cackling about comment spammers and how I was defeating them? Well, that particular post got some spam too… so, I had to up the ante… Here’s what I did (still desparately clinging to the idea that MT Blacklist is a bad idea): This one is a bit more complicated, but still … Read more
