I FINALLY figured out why MT was having trouble pinging when I saved an entry.. Turns out weblogs.com is WAY overloaded and was almost always failing (and thus failing any pings behind it)… Since I’m pinging folks largely to get folks blogrolls I just switched to pinging blogrolling directly… So the solution was just to [...]
So I don’t know what to do with all this attention that we (the ‘gays’) are getting these days… I find it all really fascinating and overall I think its a fantastic positive step - even the negative stuff… For example:
- ‘Queer eye for the Straight Guy’ and ‘Boy meets Boy’: These shows are basically [...]
I gotta say - I can’t help but chuckle when I see this:
Technical Glitches Plague BuyMusic.com
I mean - I don’t have a problem with competition - thats what spurs great products… But blatant rip offs are something completely different. Have you seen their ads? They’re nearly IDENTICAL to Apple’s ads for the music store..
I [...]
Ok.. So Kevin and I saw the second Charlie’s Angels tonight… Matt warned me not to.. Said it was AWFUL.. I mean - REALLY bad… But I actually enjoyed it… Not an award winner by ANY stretch of the imagination and at certain points it is colossally stupid. But overall it was exactly what I [...]
By george - I think I got it working…. The new home seems to be up and happy as far as I can tell and i’ve hidden most of the stuff on the old one (though it still exists so people’s links won’t break)…
Now the real trick is finding all the places where I’ve [...]
Moving vans are rolling up for my Blog… I’m moving it over from Matt’s domain over to mine… So if you have links to http://www.fullerbrantner.com/swimfinssf/ please change them to point to http://www.swimfinssf.com/ - I’m going to be trying to get everything pushed over to there…
Not sure if this will go without a hitch but I’ve [...]
I knew I had a reason for hating those damn things!
Tight ties could damage eyesight

I’ve got all SORTS of mixed feelings about this:
First public gay high school to open in NYC
On the one hand there is a lot to be said for creating a safe place for GLTB students to go where they can focus on getting an education without being harassed for who they are. There are FAR [...]
By the way - Kevin, Brian and I went to the Dore Alley Street Fair yesterday which was a lot of fun. I know a lot of people who cringe when you mention this fair but I always have fun. Sure, its full of a lot of STRANGE stuff that you don’t see in most [...]
So I FINALLY broke down and got a place to host all of my various domains so I’m in the process of shuffling things around… Ultimately i’ll be moving my blog onto one off those domains but for the time being it’ll stick here since I need to learn how to setup and configure MT [...]
One of the guys I work with just took his citizenship test yesterday at the INS (or whatever its called these days) and he mailed out the sample test to our team…. For the most part the questions are pretty straight forward and should be simple but I’m guessing there are a lot of born [...]
Couple of fun things to lighten up your friday:
Purple Polar bear (granted the bear probably isn’t ammused)
Ping Pong
happy friday!

I just picked up the latest issue of Der Spiegel in the Castro today and on the cover it says “The endless Blitzkreig” as the title and below that it says “Spiegel Series: How the USA lied to the world, overthrew a Tyrant, and is now stuck in a Guerilla War”….
Leave it to the German [...]
Our wonderful president used this term when talking about forming a new Iraqi government… Is it just me or does this sounds odd and almost like a contradiction in terms… Doesn’t the term ‘Coalition’ imply some form of external control by at least the US and, thus, in conflict with the term ‘free’…. Maybe its [...]
I’ve been congested for 5 days or so now.. Feel fine - just can’t get rid of the stuffy head… Driving me INSANE… Guess this is punishment for my frolicking on the beach back east! *sigh*

In replying to a post over here I went digging for a quote that I’ve always loved and found two. I like them enough I had to share:
“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny
individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.”

On the way to work Scott and I noticed that there were Fire Trucks on or near EVERY bridge over highway. 280 from Sand Hill Road all the way to DeAnza where we got off.. They weren’t doing anything - they were just hanging out… Almost like they were waiting for something to happen…
Can’t find [...]
Was Great… Beautiful.. Sunny… After being away from 12 days its nice to come back and have a weekend that reminds me why I love it here..
Friday night we went to the Beach Chalet for dinner with Kevin’s friend Marishka (who is in town from Baltimore), Matt, Brian, and Britton.. Place is great to go [...]
So its that time of year again. Sunday is the San Francisco AIDS Walk and Kevin and I will be walking again this year with his group at Gensler. For those of you who haven’t participated before it is an AMAZING experience. Thousands of people walking in Golden Gate Park on a beautiful day for [...]
Ok… So first… A HUGE apology to the Alternative Sides Guys… I had really wanted to meet up with them but my trip turned into a whirl wind and the times when we were supposed to hook up I wound up on fire island… I’m SO SORRY..
But MAN… I had a FANTASTIC time in NYC [...]
Ok… So this is pretty damn funny… In poking through my logs to see who is hitting the blog and from where I stumbled into the section that described what search terms people were using to wind up here.. The results are pretty damn funny… Some I expected but the one on the 28th of [...]
Just found this:
Parents sue school over locker room cameras
What the HELL were they thinking? If I were a parent with a kid in that school I would have hit the ROOF… I’m sure the administration can come up with a lot of lame excuses for why they did this - NONE of which would justify [...]
So I’m finally getting around to normal life after my weekend.. Oy vey… Won’t go into all the details for fear they might be held against me but suffice it to say I had a great time… Did a lot of the normal pride stuff and some other
