So you’ve got a blog… what now?

So you’ve got a blog… what now?

In late October of 2005 I decided that no self-respecting holder of a Master of Science in Information Systems should be without a website. So I started a blog right here on negative99.com. It’s been six full months now that April is over. Not that numbers mean much, but here’s a little breakdown (stats as [...]

Some New Flava’

Some New Flava’

As you may know I get bored wicked easily… so I decided to make a new banner image. I also altered the colors somewhat so that what was previously ripe tomato and coastal banana is now more of a summerberry and Saharan dusk. Did I also mention that I have no idea what I want [...]

Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day (updated)

Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day (updated)

April 24 is Genocide Remembrance Day in Armenia and throughout the world, and is also known as Armenian Martyr’s Day and Armenian Remembrance Day. Pictured here is the Genocide Memorial (Tsitsernakaberd) in Armenia’s capital city of Yerevan. This blog entry will have no jokes, no fluff, and its links may lead to unsettling content… so [...]

Eye Heart City

Eye Heart City

The conspiracy theorists… they’re everywhere. I can remember when one of the earlier versions of Microsoft Office came out, and it included a new font entitled Wingdings… there was much attention given to the fact that the letters NYC, when converted to the font Wingdings, appeared as a skull & crossbones (symbol for death), a [...]

Easter Eggs

Easter Eggs

When I say Easter eggs you may think I’m referring to those brightly and lovingly colored young fowl who were boiled alive (sort of). I’m not… nor am I referring to their plastic cousins (not by blood) who are usually a bright solid color and filled with chocolate. I’m referring to virtual Easter eggs… hidden [...]

Maybe There’s Something Wrong With The Universe

Maybe There’s Something Wrong With The Universe

One of my favorite quotes of all time comes from an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation… If there’s nothing wrong with me, maybe there’s something wrong with the universe. – Dr. Beverly Crusher, Episode Remember Me An occupational hazard of venturing into busy public places is that you’re bound to encounter other people. [...]

Math x Science = Possible Headache

Math x Science = Possible Headache

They say the more you know, the more you realize you don’t know. This is very true. Take teenagers who think they know everything (for instance)… idiots, on marijuana. Then take some wise old sage at the end of their days and they’ll tell you that contentment of knowledge can only come from accepting what [...]

SteveMooradian.com

Some of you, especially those of you who know me but can never remember my blog’s web address [Hey Mildred... I forget if it's Negative Thirty-Nine or if it's Sedative Ninety-Five?], get to my blog using SteveMooradian.com which I had set to redirect to Negative99. Well, this will still work, but alas, there is now [...]

Vegas Wrapup

Vegas Wrapup

I’m back and because we’re all sick of hearing about Vegas let’s wrap things up, shall we? It was dry… twelve percent humidity is only good if you have lunger. There are many perverts who are rich and like to gamble… they were stumbling around drunk almost everywhere. If you want the proverbial $4.99 lobster [...]

Craziness, Slots, and $$$

Craziness, Slots, and $$$

This is my first time in Vegas, and it is truly crazy out here. Went into Prada and saw $650 shoes that were ugly and tacky beyond measure. This is the land of excess… so many people here drop green like they’ve got five hours to live. Watching fools pour $10K a craps roll into [...]
