Google Sync for iPhone

The latest Google application to hit the streets is sync for iPhone. Although calling it an application is really a misnomer; in reality, they've turned on ActiveSync for contacts and calendars. In other words, the same enterprise-level synchronization many fine …

Animated Logo Fun

I love it when a plan comes together. Especially when that plan involves making something using LiveType instead of the much-more-expensive Motion. Now I just need to make more podcast episodes...

oddEvan intro

Oops...

Yeah... about those regular updates...

2008 ended and 2009 began with me and the woman in Charleston preceded and followed by trips to Greenville. From the time I got to Greenville by myself to the time I left Greenville by myself we were in the same building/area …

Why I like hulu

If you haven't heard of hulu, it's basically YouTube without the "you," consisting only of network/cable/professional shows. They also know how to admit their mistakes to their viewers. Too bad the whole thing's an evil plot to destroy the world.

The 25 Largest Fictional Companies

2008: time to grow up

If I had to sum up 2008 in one word, it would be "woah." If you could give me an extra word, though, it would be "growing up." In my personal life (and in some ways the world around me) this year has been about growing up.

2008 was the year I finally had to come to …

Sonic Storybook Series?

So, Sega just released the box art for Sonic and the Black Knight. According to Wii Fanboy (and general observation), the new boxart suggests a whole series of games that put Sonic into storybook settings. As one of the twelve people who liked Sonic and the Secret …

Another meme

Post your name and I will do each of the following:

1. I'll respond with something random about you.


2. I'll tell you a song or movie you remind me of.


3. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.


4. I'll tell you my first memory of you.


5. I'll tell you …

The Echoing Green : True Love

So the best band in the world just posted a new track. It sounds like the home stretch of a long day's drive when you know that there's a tall glass of orange juice and a plush bed waiting for you behind the door...

Site Update

Comments are now available. You will need an OpenID of some kind. You've probably already got one. For example, a WordPress.com blog or LiveJournal can be used. Or even AOL and Yahoo... If you're having trouble, just leave a comment and I'll help you along.

Oh, …

Gmail themes

What intrigued me the most is that it asked me for my location before changing the theme to "Mountains." Does it make it different for people out west? And what other themes take locations?

Obligatory Election Post

For clarification's sake: I wrote this post while waiting in line to vote at the polls this past election day. Me being my usual lazy self, I haven't pulled it off my phone until now. Enjoy!

I have not felt this disconnected since... well, the last time I didn't have …

McCain SNL Cold Open

As our nation hurls toward an incredibly significant election, let's take this time to honor our national pastime: shopping. I didn't say baseball because shopping is better for our economy. I'm also being very obvious with my punchlines. Tina Fey's Palin has a way of …

Theme test?

And... what do you think? Sound off in the comments... all two of you. And no, it's not done yet.

Scientific voting?

Comments like this chicken-or-crap essay pointed out by John Gruber notwithstanding, I'm still on the fence to a certain degree about this election. I've appreciated John McCain's willingness to go against the party establishment the past few years, a reason I'll be …

A good start

You can see the idea I've got for my theme here. Make sure you can scroll up and down.

My illustrious podcast has been delisted from iTunes due to there not being any new episodes for several months. And my illustrious car decided to start hating me last night by …

i can lol?

kan mai layout hold teh lolz? or does i need a bigger bukkit?

Never mind...

So... after about 15 minutes of careful deliberation, I realized that I'm probably better off sticking with WordPress for the time being. Biggest reasons are 1) I already know how to theme it, 2) I already know how to use it, and 3) it has an iPhone client.

But chyrp …

Brilliant Button Maker

Especially useful since I don't have the proper font to properly make those buttons.

Welcome all!

This is the new and hopefully soon-to-be-improved oddEvan.com. In addition to various things I find on the internets, I'll (hopefully) be importing things from my various other profiles. Hopefully that should keep things interesting around here. The software I'm …
