I’ve been listening to Pandora a lot lately and had a question about the stations I created. When I’m listening to a station, and rate it, do those rating affect the station if other people listen to it? And this post successfully concludes what I was testing, no more junk posts for a little while [ READ MORE ]
From my previous post, you can tell I’m working on something. This post is just another test, but I’m trying to provide a little content, so check out some of the photos I’ve taken while in Sunnyvale: Sunnyvale Bootcamp ‘07 [ READ MORE ]
Today a co-worker pointed me towards Yahoo! Search’s Open Shortcuts and I instantly became a fan. With Open Shortcuts you setup shortcuts for other (longer) URLs.

Google Romance reminds me of the days in undergrad when I ran the Closson Dating Service. For those of you that aren’t familiar with the Closson Dating Service, let’s just say that it, like Google Romance, started as a joke and turned into the premier way for my house-mates to find dates.

My old gunnerweb landing page didn’t survive the move to the new host. For the past few weeks it was some generic “Site coming soon” page. The wait is now over for the new gunnerweb.net.
