Over at the blog Dumb Little Man (whose slogan is “Tips for Life”), there’s an entry titled Hack Your Work: 23 Ways to Get Ahead, Work Less and Achieve More with some good ideas. Here’s the intro:

Moving to a new blogging tool and URL has pretty much made every old link on this site invalid. In order to help the search engines re-index the site and regular readers find the more popular stories, I’m pointing to old stories. If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, come stroll down memory [...]
This graphic made me laugh out loud:

(I’ve been threatening to learn that song on accordion.)
Well, if I handed out “Link from the Person Least Likely to Link to Me” awards, this week’s would have to go to Andrew Sullivan.
Yes, it’s a link to the wedding story.
And yes, that Andrew Sullivan.
Since work’s been keeping me busy and since the story about Julie’s and Amanda’s wedding has given everybody on the Internet a serious case of the warm fuzzies (including Craig “Craigslist” Newmark and Amanda’s dad), I’m not going to post much today. Besides, I think it would be nice to have their story high up [...]
YouTube took its own sweet time processing them, but the two (short) videos from Julie’s and Amanda’s wedding are finally up and I’ve included them in the blog entry. If you want to jump directly to those videos’ YouTube pages, here are the links:

“Brah,” said the panhandler as I handed him a loonie, “you look just like the dude from Star Trek: Voyager.”
“You mean Harry Kim?” I asked.
(For reference, here are photos of Harry Kim — played by actor Garrett Wang — and Yours Truly, [...]
In this series, Blast from the Past, I’m linking to popular old entries of mine in an effort to make sure that pages don’t get lost in my move to a different blogging tool and URL.
Today’s Blast from the Past is titled The Star Spangled Banner and Anal Sovereignty, a story [...]
I’m surprised that a city like Accordion City, in which an unusually large number of people use bicycles (at least for a North American city), doesn’t have more stylized bike posts like the one below. I saw it on the north side of Queen Street West, a stone’s throw east of Roncesvalles while biking home [...]
Ex-pat Texan A.G. Pasquella, whom I’ve known since 1992 (we went to Crazy Go Nuts University together) is searching Accordion City for the perfect burger — “the burger of his youth”. He’s visiting burger places and writing reviews at his new blog, Burger Quest.
In his introductory post, he writes:
I’ve [...]

Old Blog Entries? Why?
One of the downsides of switching domains (from accordionguy.blogware.com to joeydevilla.com) and blogging tools is that all the [...]
Back in high school, after reading Space-Time and Beyond for the umpteenth time and drinking one too many zombies with my friend Henry, we came up with a theory:
In the infinite set of universes, there had to exist a particular universe in which the events in our lives were being watched as a TV show.
We then made a solemn vow to live the kind of life that got high ratings.
This is the continuation of that story.
