Well, it seems like all my posts lately are apologizing for how long it has been since my last one.  Yup, infrequently updated, and most of the widgets are broken. That's why you should be following on Twitter or Facebook! (@blakebevin, fb.com/blakebevin) But ... http://www.blakebevin.com/?p=614 So here I am, updating the blog on my new iPad. It's cool typing on a touchscreen, but I'm still learning so please excuse the errors I don't catch. So, besides me satisfying my gadget lust, what else has been happening? What can I say? Not much, which is another ... http://www.blakebevin.com/?p=613 It being the first day of a brand new year, I thought it prudent to log in to the ole' blog again.  I actually made a few resolutions for the year, something I haven't done since I was a kid.  Maybe not completing them wore me down, but I like ... http://www.blakebevin.com/?p=611 Wow, hard to believe the entire summer has gone by since my last update. Obviously I'm not dead or incapacitated, just that my "blog posts" are now of the Twitter or Facebook variety. Speaking of which, I'm @blakebevin or www.facebook.com/blakebevin for those who are interested. Still, it seems a shame that ... http://www.blakebevin.com/?p=608 Well as the post suggests, I am now well into the fourth day of of this little experiment.  I started depriving myself of sleep Monday, and began the naps Tuesday evening. I'm still adjusting as I wake up groggy half the time.  Maybe I'll play around with the length of the ... http://www.blakebevin.com/?p=604 Well the Robot contest I planned to enter had a $5000 entrance fee.  Ha!  Maybe next year... I was all set to begin SOMETHING, and the cancellation left a big void.  Started having daily mid-life/existential crises.  Anyhoo, rather than start one big project, I've gone through my trusty moleskine notebook and ... http://www.blakebevin.com/?p=602 *Gasp*  An update?  So Soon?! Well, here's a double celebration, of sorts.  First-500 Posts!  Woot! Course, that only counts blogger/wordpress posts.  Second, 500 posts over, like 5 years, isn't very impressive.  But, Hey ohhhh! Second, one year ago today I got back from Thailand after getting cosmetic work done.  Had some drinks at ... http://www.blakebevin.com/?p=599 Writing this blog, sometimes I feel like I'm etching on a Cave wall. Heh, ok, I guess that's a little overly dramatic. Still, Twitter and Facebook streaming seems a lot less forced then sitting down here, trying to think of something to say because it's been over two weeks since my last ... http://www.blakebevin.com/?p=596 I wonder if they'll do an Origin tale of the TNG crew ;) At any rate, I saw 'Star Trek' the other day and I enjoyed it.  I might see it again. Not much happening otherwise.  Just working and napping and saving so I can get some back taxes paid off.  Starting ... http://www.blakebevin.com/?p=594 1.  Fly into Las Vegas 2. Spend a solid day having fun 3. Rent a car and drive to my Cousins wedding in Fresno 4. Drive home Pretty simple, and step 1 and 2 went pretty well.  The Vegan and I arrived in Vegas, our room at the Luxor was descent, but I should ... http://www.blakebevin.com/?p=587
