Personal: Your own private data vault.
We’re trying out Personal.com to see if it’s gonna change our lives, because in this age of digital access and heightened security bars, it’s getting hard to remember all the numbers, identities and passwords we’ve been asked to invent hither and yon. So there’s a market need for data organisation and protection, and it makes sense that it all live in the same place that does your form auto-filling.Read more about it over on Mashable.
I think I need to try this out.

On line or in line?
As in, “I hate waiting _______ for coffee.”
I never knew people said “on line” until a few years ago. Curious about how many people use that phrase.

Anyone else using ifttt?
Do you have any particularly cool recipes set up that I should try?
Late this morning Monty was attacked by a pit bull on the Walnut Street Bridge during our walk. The dog latched onto his neck and wouldn’t let go. After much work, the other owner and I (along with bystanders on the bridge) were able to separate the dogs.
Monty suffered wounds on his neck and had to be rushed to the ER at UPenn’s vet school. The owner of the other dog was bit pretty badly by Monty and will probably need stitches on his finger, but that’s neither here nor there for the moment. (That, I am certain, will play out in a predictably ugly fashion.)
Monty’s bill at the ER is estimated to cost $1,000 dollars. This includes x-rays, stitches, meds, and whatever it is they have to do when a pit bull four times the size of your dog decides to treat him like a chew toy.
As an employee on a monthly salary, I am in my super-brokesville time of the month. I had to call my parents and ask them to help me cover the 50% deposit required for the services. My parents aren’t wealthy, and this was asking a lot of them. They will be paid back with my next paycheck.
I am selling off some of my possessions to cover the remainder of the bill that must be paid in full when I pick up Monty. If you want to help me, I ask that you please consider buying these items:
- Hasselblad 500C and 50mm Planar lens - $500 - The magazine is damaged thanks to whoever I loaned it to last, but otherwise it works fine. I will include the damaged magazine anyway because what I am going to do with it? If you have ever wanted to jump in to medium-format film, you can’t get any better than this camera. I have shot many things with it and it was a huge deal for me to buy this in college.
- Insignia 32” Flat Panel LCD TV - $400 - Take my enormous TV.
- Bedroom Problems concert poster - $25 - From our debut show with Antietam. Limited quantity. Includes shipping. See it here: http://www.blog.bdrmprblms.com/post/5426778603/like-this-poster-of-course-you-do-we-do-too

Maria and I used to work together and I know she must be sick over this. Please give what you can and help Monty.

This is very cool but still only viable to us geeks who will take the time to set it all up. I want a CMS dashboard that let’s me publish natively anywhere from one interface.
I signed up for this a few days ago, but haven’t played around with it yet. I can’t wait to see what ifttt can do for me.
I want nothing more from this life than to see Kim Zolciak's real hair.
