chezjoel 5.0

Friday, November 16th, 2007

Actually I've lost count of how many different "looks" my site has had.  This change is the biggest in several years however, because I've switched from MovableType to WordPress.  I've never been terribly fond of PHP, and in fact have always preferred Perl.  But WP really has it where it ...

Thursday, August 18th, 2005

K_sra has three short posts which got me thinking about a name for the tenth item on the tenth page of Google search results for a given phrase. And so I'm coining it: Googlecentechelon. Its fun to say. Googlecentechelon. I hope my site enters the Googlecentechelon for the ...

archaeopteryx

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

First I was a flappy bird, then, briefly, a slithering reptile, and now I'm back to being a flappy bird. Perhaps I am a probationary flappy bird. I'd be ok with that. I could be one of those birds with teeth and a mix of some scales ...

I'm all a twitter to report: I am a Flappy Bird in the Truth Laid Bear Blogosphere Ecosystem! Wednesday night when I first signed up and installed the javascript badge (down on the right-hand side), I was an insignificant microbe. But now that TTLB has scanned chez moi, ...

pitchers of coffee

I haven't forgotten my promise to take pictures of everything. I actually have a huge backlog of pictures I've taken, but I am behind in blogging them. In the meantime, have a cup of coffee while you wait.

two soldiers

Sunday, July 10th, 2005

Major Paine takes the screen by storm in "Two Soldiers," the latest short film from Chez Joel Films and K_sra Productions. ksrasra and I began a short film project yesterday (3:00pm Saturday, July 9th, 2005) and finished just moments ago (8:15am, Sunday, July 10th, 2005). I hope you enjoy the ...

this place is going to the blogs

Wednesday, June 1st, 2005

When I see a really dumb movie, I leave the theatre feeling gypped, but also thinking, "Sheesh, I could make a better movie than that. Ditto for bad books; I finish some piece of prosaic pablum and think to myself, "nothing novel about that; now if I were to ...

treacherous faux

Wednesday, May 18th, 2005

"Excuse me, but there's a problem." "Oh?" "This isn't leatherette." "Ah, yes, actually you're correct--" "It's some kind of fake." Pause. "Ah, hmmm." Corner of an amused smile. "It's faux leatherette." "Yeah, it's not the real deal." "Sometimes referred to as faux faux leather." "I guess so. What are these made of?" "Leather."
