The wordpress mobile plugin rocks!
Published by Chris | Filed under Me
I’ve been making every excuse in the book for why I haven’t been posting here. Well, now I have no excuses. I just up graded to the latest version of wordpress and added the WPhone plugin that gives me a “lightweight” admin interface for my iPhone which allows to do blog posts from phone.
What was your favorite age of living?
Published by Chris | Filed under Me
Over on quofda, they asked the question “what was your favorite age?”. I’ve often thought about that, becasue lately it feels as if time is moving so fast. I’m currently on my last year before turning 40. My favorite age so far has been 30. It was an exciting time, starting my first company, living in Seattle and surrounded by smart exiting people. However, I would like to think that it’ll only get better as I get older.
Where you been?

It’s hard to believe that it’s been more than six months since I’ve posted a here. However, for what it’s worth, I’ve been keeping up with my daily photo and have been posting in the Gallery every month or so.
2008 is starting off to be pretty good. I’ve pretty busy for the last two months and don’t see anything changing anytime soon. Hopefully I’ll be able to find the time to do some blogging here more often than the previous six months. There really is a lot of stuff worth writing about, it’s just hard to make the time. Austin is a really good town.

Chris Nieratko of Big Brother fame was here in Austin last night promoting his new book Skinema. Chris setup at Heather Roach’s (also of Big Brother fame) shop called LowBrow Emporium. Lowbrow is a cross between a Art, book, toy and skate shop. It’s a interesting store and if you’re in Austin it’s a must to check out.

Most disturbing tattoo that I’ve seen
Published by Chris | Filed under Art
I’ve always had a phobia of things being in or around my eye. I just read on the Modblog about an eye tattoo experiment. Must be crazy to do something like this.
You can see more photos and read more about the project over on Modblog.

Barfly’s- best bar in Austin
Published by Chris | Filed under Austin, Food & Drink
I’m not really sure what the criteria would need to be to make Barfly’s the best bar. I’m sure there are a lot of bars in Austin that offer up similar atmosphere and alcohol selection. But, none are withing walking distance of my house and offer daily $1.50 Lonestars. I’ve been visiting Barfly’s a few times a weeks since moving to Austin and consider it my favorite spot. The bar staff is great and the patrons are friendly. Barfly’s tends to be more of a late night bar and is usually packed after 11pm everyday. They have one of the best jukebox’s in Austin and a Tornado foosball table. The Barfly is located above the Burger Tex on Airport Blvd and opens at 5pm, 7 days a week. Click here for directions.

Sunday on South Congress (SOCO)
Published by Chris | Filed under Austin
It’s been a while since I went to check out South Congress here in Austin. I did on Sunday and was surprised at the growth. For those of you not familiar with Austin, South Congress or SOCO as it’s referred to, is one of our little funky shopping, drinking and dinning areas of town. As I said, I went there on Sunday to check out a few shops. Lots of construction going on there and the “face” of the area is changing. As a matter of fact, construction cranes are all over Austin. I’ll get some more pictures soon.
You can see all the SOCO photos here.
