just trying to keep it real

I’ve shuffled the MetaCamPage a little. I think I’m just going to rotate the rows so that everyone gets a chance to be on top for a bit. Of course that also means that some of us will be getting our first taste of being on the bottom. Think of it as a growing experience. You get tired of being on top all the time anyway.

In case you haven’t noticed – or if you’re one of the people who was on top and are such an egomaniacal rat bastard that you never scrolled to see who was beneath your corpulent bulk – there are still two spots open in the current version. If you spot a blogcam, or if you have a blogcam… you know it baby…

my job is hardI am a big fan of clipping funny shots you might happen to catch on the MetaCamPage. Eventually there will be an archive of all the funny stuff. I already have several of the center girls (as I like to call them), Harlan, Meg, and — of course — everyone’s favorite monkey. Creative editing of webcam pics is not only allowed, but highly encouraged.

Doh! We are going to dinner tonight so I will probably miss the better part of #blogIRC. If you’re there, I hope you enjoy some fun with the MetaCamPage. I made it just for the #blogIRCers.

I’m listening to the new Pearl Jam CD, binaural, though. I already love it and I’ve only heard the first two songs. I bought it on-line when I ordered the tix and was surprised that it got here only a day after it went on sale. I considered buying a copy tonight at Best Buy. Ryan and I went there after work (I was thinking about buying an ice-blue Handspring Visor Deluxe. But after seeing the HP Jornada up close… grrr… it’s a tough decision now. I have — at least temporarily — decided not to buy either one.) and I said, “Naah… I won’t buy it. It’s probably on its way to my house now.” And I got home. And there it was.

One of my old crew cronies, Mike, has got a brand new blog.

I am still taking requests for the MetaCamPage… several of you made great suggestions and I am working on them. I think you’ll love the results.

What Is This?

davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
