Tumblr was fun, but I’m tired of it. You can see my online life at chad(dq) (http://chaddq.net/weblog). Thanks!
chaddq: @srah Not fair! But if it makes you feel better, I made too little progress on 45 projects today (via Twitter / chaddq)

Beer Me, Link Me Thursdays: Geeking Out Library... →
The National Library of New Zealand ran a campaign titled, “In 2017, Libraries will be…” Like much user-contributed content, there are quite a few boring responses - no need to click through the entire flickr set. Still, it’s worth a look. Here are a few of my favorite contributions:
If I were to take a moment to think seriously about the future, I’d say that this entry comes closest to...

chaddq: Think I’ll stay in my jammies and work from home tomorrow (and, as I do whenever I’m home, eat a lot of bacon) (via Twitter / chaddq)
Shaving →
I am not a fan of shaving, but I may try to become a straight razor kind of guy. Of course, this may also mean that I become a rush-me-to-the-hospital-because-my-carotid-artery-is-gushing-blood kind of guy.

The Sound of Young America is one of my favorite podcasts - check out the newest episode (an interview with Austin Grossman, author of “Soon I Will Be Invincible”).
Max at the Albuquerque Aquarium →
His favorite part of the trip? Climbing up and down stairs.

OK, update - this season of The Biggest Loser is kick-ass!
26.2 Mile Walk →
Shows like Fat March and The Biggest Loser make me want to walk 26.2 miles on Saturday. I suspect that such a long walk would leave me injured, so I may walk 10 miles instead. If I walk 10 - 26.2 miles every Saturday, I’ll be able to eat all the Franks Redhot Beef Jerky I want.
What I’ve Been Doing with my Fingers Lately
Pushing buttons - green, red, yellow, blue, and orange buttons on my Guitar Hero axe
Gently covering Maxwell’s fingers and pulling them out of his nose
Typing absurd instructions into a powerpoint for an English 102 library instruction session
Twittering
Drinking soda
Washing lots and lots and lots of dishes
Hitchhiking, which sounds cool until I admit that I’m merely hitchhiking on the...

Oh, silly Steve Jobs, not even an apple fanboy like chad(dq) can get behind charging an extra $0.99 to create ringtones from songs I already own.

Dear Steve, We want our $200 back. Love, your most... →
Apple iPhone owners, to put it mildly, are ticked off.
To Steve Jobs: $200 just cost you over $2,500 →
This is just 1 story of an Apple fanboy and early adopter that will think twice before spending any more money on Apple products. Especially first generation Apple products.
Beer Me, Link Me Thursdays: Desktop Tower Defense →
Desktop Tower Defense may be the most enjoyable flash game on the web; little critters try to move from one side of the screen to the other, while you build towers to shoot them down. I know, I know, it’s a lot like Pong, but I found Pong boring. Desktop Tower Defense, however, delivers pure stress relief like no other game I’ve played.
