PLUCKEY'S web

Year: 2005

  • Every day

    It’s not easy to come up with something to write about every day, is it? Part of it, I realize, is finding my “voice” for what I want to say, and I imagine I’ll wander in range of that Voice eventually. I like the idea of putting the day’s events in some kind of context,…

  • Surprisingly good

    There have been a surprising number of potentially interesting shows on television recently. Some of them won’t pan out. Many of them won’t achieve the celebrity status of getting a Season Pass on my TiVo. And yet, I like being surprised by something that turns out to be good. Though a newcomer to “Lost” on…

  • Late summer pix and such

    First of all, apologies to those who found yesterday’s animated picture to be scary. I guess I should’ve saved that for Halloween. Ha! More pictures posted today: July and August, 2005. Except for this summer’s “Tybee” Sarasota trip; those pix deserve their own gallery and will make their appearance soon. I’m going to Kansas City…

  • Wolfman in reverse

    As promised, here’s a peek at the new me: And there’s more! I’m working on my picture backlog; today I’m posting the remainder of June, 2005… working chronologically, I’ll be up to the present day some day after today but exactly on the day that I finish.

  • Just clap your hands

    Beck sez, That’s where it’s at … Two turntables and a microphone … These are exciting times. I am mixing together a baker’s dozen of idealistic principles to create a more nutritious blend of who I am and who I wish to be. You have heard how that phrase “baker’s dozen” came in vogue, haven’t…

  • Nightfall/Bella Sera pix

    More pictures uploaded! Some older pix taken with my Treo 650 cameraphone, as well as new Nightfall and Bella Sera pictures. Also, I’ve been making progress adding to the Wiki for my Community Communication Project.

  • Pix: New Riverfront, etc.

    I’ve uploaded more pictures (Assorted Pix June 3, 2005): the last of the Grand Openings of Chattanooga’s new riverfront, and a peek at the new Pritchard home. There are some movies associated with this stuff, too; I’ll try to get those compressed and uploaded later.

  • RSS’ing

    Sweet! I’ve persuaded the RSS feed of my blog to work. So syndicate away! W00t. [In the 2011 version of this blog, you can get to the RSS feeds at the bottom of the left sidebar.]

  • Nightfall 2005

    The new Nightfall Schedule is out! Looks like it’ll be an interesting blend of musicians this summer.

  • Pictures uploaded (Chattanooga!)

    As I’d promised… I’ve posted a big, if not huge, assortment of pictures! I was feeling I’d been neglecting my town in picture coverage; this should even things up. Enjoy!

  • New waterfront pix coming soon

    Coming soon… More pictures featuring Chattanooga’s new 21st Century Waterfront! Etc. Etc.

  • Pulse article published

    I noticed in this week’s print edition of Pulse that there’s an article about Macworld Expo 2005… written by me! Welcome to any Pulse readers that may have wandered here from there! I need to archive more of my past articles and such here on my site; ok, that’s added to “The List Of Things…

  • Pancake Day 2005

    Happy Pancake Day! It’s so early this year, I know. A fun time was had celebrating PCD at Carla & Kenny’s current home; I was able to pitch in with my pancake-making skills (pushing out around three dozen on the hot skillets). Pictures available “soon”.

  • Bloggering

    This is a test of blogging, showing how easy it is to use Blogger.com.

  • SF 2005, Part H

    You’ll be amazed and delighted to learn that I’ve posted the last block of pictures from my recent trip to San Francisco: Part H of H. Check ’em out in the Pictures section. Thanks again to King and Gwen (and Kibble) for being wonderful hosts!

  • Back up due to backup

    Okay, it looks like Chattanooga Online has dug up some fairly recent backups of the web server. Hoorah!

  • Downed by a fault

    The webserver at Chattanooga Online crashed over the weekend, losing all files on their disk (including my websites, of course). So, some of my links aren’t available until I restore from my personal backups.

  • Made it home

    I made it home last night! Wahoo! Back to Chattanooga. More pictures loading in from the trip…

  • Leaving San Francisco

    Well, I’m heading out this morning for San Francisco’s airport, from which I’ll fly to Atlanta, and then home!

  • SF 2005: Walking the bridge

    Today, King and Gwen and I walked across the Golden Gate Bridge… and then walked back across it! Very high up, and actually kinda cold, what with the wind and all, but exhilarating! I’ll put some pix up in a little while after a nap. Yesterday King and I went to Treasure Island, Coit Tower,…

  • SF 2005: AccesSF, Subterrano, Pix

    Yesterday afternoon I had a great meeting at AccesSF, the public access people here in town, and for dinner King and I traveled to the Irving neighborhood for some Thai food. Afterwards we tried to watch a horrible movie (Subterano). I’ve posted new pictures (Part E and Part F on the pictures page)!

  • SF 2005: Mon, Tue, Wed

    I’m still in San Francisco, having fun! I need to catch up on my blog entries, but meanwhile: Monday was a recharging day, and King & Gwen introduced me to Greg the Bunny. Tuesday I got to Moscone Center at 7:45 am for the Keynote of Macworld Expo (featuring Steve Jobs, of course). Watched it…

  • The last leg: Reno to Emeryville

    I’m now in San Francisco at King and Gwen’s home! Yay! I awoke this morning, made my way downstairs to the hotel lobby in Reno, and waited for more info. Eventually a bus arrived, and the crowd of Amtrak refugees was finally given a reason to hope. More buses began to arrive, each going to…
