It are these people’s birthday too:
As well as these two who are exactly as old as me:
On this day, by the BBC and The New York Times.
I just upgraded to release 2.3 for WordPress, named “Dexter.” Seems to have run pretty smoothly, and the new release has a plugin checker that lets you know about the latest versions of your plugins. (Also, integrated tagging! Which I might use at some point, maybe.)
However, just in case you run into the same error I did, mentioning the non-existence of the “post2cat” table, upgrade your Google Sitemap plugin. The plugin checker doesn’t recognize there is a new version yet, and the older one isn’t entirely compatible with Dexter.
Mingle2 - Free Online Dating
Huh, how do you like that? I like to think of it like Wallace and Gromit, or Tim Conway and Don Knotts movies from the 1970s.
And yes, I just ran across the online dating site and its quizzes in my blog travels. I’m married, and would have been too introverted for online dating anyway. ![]()
Just in case you don’t know what I look like, I offer here an accurate representation of myself:

Handsome devil, that. All yellow and…ahem…a few pounds less heavy than I would have thought.
It’s from the Simpsons Avatar Creator, on The Simpsons movie site. Their application works even better than the one for South Park, but South Park’s does let you become a pirate, which is cool.

EWeek lists their 15 geekiest vacations. I’ve only done one of these — maybe two, if your count going to great places for geeky reasons — the National Air and Space Museum. I was 100 feet away from the International Spy Museum on our most recent trip to DC and didn’t want to walk over there due to the rain. I can’t help but think I need to be more ambitious.

Somehow I really don’t think this is accurate. I’m thinking 75, or whatever age you need to be to get all suspicious of the young and start muttering about “Teenagers!”
My New York age is 28
This New York age puts you-generally speaking-into the young category. That’s what you were hoping for, right? Run and tell your friends. Then get drunk (as usual). Then sleep it off. Then pop an Adderall. Then come back and consider experimenting with a more mature type of New York life (just once in a while). Have you ever been to the Village Vanguard or the Living Theatre? Eaten at Elaine’s? Taken a date to Michael Feinstein? Before you laugh, check ‘em out and see what old-school NYC experiences you can add to the new.
Does your age reflect how you’re living? Let us know.

Hmm, looks like Maxim came out with its Hot 100 (supposedly straight), and AfterEllen.com responded with a lesbian version. Let’s see how they match up with a…uh…“random” list of five women.
| List | Maxim rank | AfterEllen rank |
| Alyson Hannigan | n/a | 74 |
| Jenna Fischer | n/a | n/a |
| Kristen Bell | 46 | 56 |
| Sarah McLachlan | n/a | n/a |
| Shakira | 38 | n/a |
Yep, looks like my interests aren’t well-represented on either list, but more closely on the Maxim side based on the numbers. However, I was surprised at how much easier it would be to pick a second five from the AfterEllen list. C’mon, Maxim, you seriously listed Lindsay Lohan (#1, no less), Fergie (#10), and Shanna Moakler (I’m not going to bother looking that up) in your top 100? Combine that with Second Life avatars, and it’s just wasted space.
