Pathetic excuse for why my blog suddenly stopped updating: I got a job with a respectable software company. So…

• New Blog Try and break it; it’s beta software.

• twitter I have joined the collective. My uniqueness and intelligence will be assimilated into their own.

That’s all for now; I’ll try and keep this post updated until I move WordPress over.

A bit has happened since my last post about the future of my online empire. I’ve been able to do some thinking since then, but I would like some feedback from anyone reading. Anyway, here goes. Read the rest of this entry »

In the spirit of John Gruber I am going to bring the smack to this unsolicited e-mail I was just sent because some company is trolling a popular job search website. Read the rest of this entry »

Locked the keys in the car. Found out the roadside assistance isn’t fully activated. Had to reschedule phone interview. Picked up by Mom. Took Mom’s car. Got a [bleep]ing speeding ticket. Drove through traffic. Finally got spare key. Drove through more traffic.

I’ll post more when I’m more coherent. Right now, I need a drink and sleep. And for these DVD’s to [bleep]ing burn correctly.

The reasons are simple:

1. It’s hard to get across how you say it. It’s pronounced “Root Negative One,” not “Root One” or any crap like that.
2. The domain is hard to get across without text. I mean, seriously, there’s a reason people don’t put hyphens in their domains anymore. Throw a numeral in there and the whole thing’s gone to pot.
3. A podcasting network? Those mostly exist for advertising and marketing purposes, not for content purposes. Even the great Revision3 distributes third-party podcasts (like The Totally Rad Show). Content is my strength, not advertising.

1. I have too many things going on and I need to consolidate.

Honestly, while I love the name (it’s an imaginary number, people!), the sheer crookedness of the domain is killing it. I think I’m just going to use blip.tv to host the podcasts and let some other enterprising young sophomore grab what’s left of root -1.

Recovering Pharisee’s going to be changing soon, too. I had a brief talk with my business partner and agreed on some significant changes. That just leaves Anticipation as the big question mark.

I’m finally done with that infernal paper. Hopefully I can get my grade in and then… I’m done. Period.

Here it goes!

So Apple just released an SDK for the iPhone. I’ve got an idea of my program; we’ll see if I ever get around to doing it. But I noticed this small bit while Phil Schiller was demo-ing his fancy Exchange calendar…

Brainstorm new Apple Rumors at 2PM? Somehow, I’m not really surprised.

I may or may not have attempted to grill pork on the stove.

I may or may not have set off the smoke alarm.

The local fire department may or may not have been called.

This may or may not show up on my student account.

Maybe.

Update: I did. I did. I did. It won’t.

My name is Evan Hildreth. I also answer to “Odd Evan,” “madcrasher,” and “RadioShack.” I am a tech-head that is continually inspired by the power that the internet and the web gives to average, everyday people. And in one week I will no longer be a Furman student.

Let me say that one more time for emphasis: In one week I will no longer be a Furman student.

My last class was yesterday. My last exam is tomorrow. And a week from now I’ll be done with my internship (and hopefully the research paper that goes with it). So where does that leave my websites?
