back in dubai

I am back in Dubai after one of the best vacations of my life. 2 1/2 weeks away from work is the longest I have ever spent out of the office (while still actually having a job) in 10 years of working. I was in London, Mexico, and NYC, and couldn’t have enjoyed myself more. […]

hola

I am currently recovering from the Spain wedding / vacation. Sorry for the lack of posts since I got back on Friday night. Recovering means I accidentally takes naps in the afternoon after walking around like a zombie at work all day.
First of all, let me publicly thank Andy and Veronica for being the […]

youtube, now with 100% less dubai!

So much for video fun on chrisdiclerico.com. YouTube is now completely blocked in Dubai. That means I can’t view, post, or enjoy, YouTube’s video goodness. For any of you reading from Dubai, any posts you find that say “AWESOME”, “funny”, “hilarious!”, etc, followed by a big empty white space, that’s where the embedded videos used […]

the great emails collection

I realized a few weeks ago that I have a collection of old emails, scattered about various online accounts and desktop software that I am quite fond of. There are many rants and raves, a couple love letters, a few breakups, and some dirty-talk. It occurred to me that I should scrub them clean of […]

quick test

This is a test of a new bullet syle.

How is this looking?
I need to play with the indentation.
OK
aaaaah.

How come nobody mentioned to me that this site looks all fucked up in Internet Explorer? I think it’s time to crack open this CSS, originally from the Kubrick theme, but wholly bastardized by me, and actually clean […]

sidebar? –>

Can I get a quick show of hand? Does anyone actually read or check out the links I put up on the sidebar of the site. It’s powered by my Del.icio.us account, and I would be saving them all anyway, so it makes sense to just output them here. But I get the feeling they […]

more ads!

Oh man, I am a greedy, greedy monster. I have added more ads to this website, now on the homepage!
It’s actually an experiment. I am not expecting to make any real money here, and I’ll probably get rid of many of the ads when I learn something interesting. So far in a week or […]

some changes around here

Over the last few days, I have been making some subtle changes to the organization of this site, mostly around how the sidebars work on various pages. My goal was to have the the sidebars be as context sensitive as possible, with the right information at the right time. I hope it seems less random […]

delicious sidebar

Anyone know why the Del.icio.us Sidebar links are not showing up? Is it just me in Dubai? Del.icio.us is available in Dubai, not blocked like some other sites (Flickr). Can you all see the links? Is something wrong on Del.icio.us? Sometimes the RSS seems to go down or something. Any nerds out there know something?

so looong

It’s 6:12pm EST, despite what the timestamp might say at the bottom of this post. I just finished packing: my bags, plus my whole room into boxes because I accidentally found a sub-letter. Cool guy names Flak will be moving in April 1st, and I am pretty sure he didn’t want to have to slide […]

thank you

Let me just take a quick second to thank everyone for their attendance, compliments, love, and support last night at my official going away party. It is the biggest compliment in the world for a huge group of my friends from different parts of my life to get together and get along and dance and […]
