Bluehost Sadness

Bluehost’s servers decided to take a dive, and they lost my entire website. I had backups of the databases, but a ton of information is gone. Bear with me as I slowly re-build this site… Share and Enjoy:

A nod to the spammers

I was digging through the comment archives on here. 99% of them are SPAM and caught by one of my filters, but I noticed quite a few that were seemingly innocuous… and didn’t even have any links on them. It made for some good reading! I’m really impressed with your writing skills and also with [...]

What is ‘Scrambled’ ?

The Scrambled Mind of Benjamin Flessner is an intentionally non-flashy website that is essentially a giant ‘About Me’ page.  I made its first incarnation shortly after creating DigiMuzik.com in the late 90′s.  I like the very simplistic nature of raw HTML, and since I consider myself more of a web ‘programmer’ than a web ‘designer,’ [...]

Not just a phone

When is a phone not just a phone? Even my previous ‘dumb phones’ could play my audiobooks and let me check out google/facebook (albeit with a bit of a hassle), but a smart-phone can carry your whole music library, access any website you need, be a portable gaming system/camera/watch/calendar/mailbox, and loads of other things all [...]

How many phone numbers are too many?

So I recently revealed I have over 10 e-mail addresses I check regularly. Did you know we (the family) have 5 phone numbers as well? Actually, there are 8 ways to reach us via phone, but three don’t really count (okay, most don’t really count). Amanda’s Cell – Pretty obvious. If you know us or [...]

One Week With Android

I’ve been the happy owner of a US Cellular HTC Desire for a week now and am loving every minute of it. What really makes it amazing, though, is everything it can do that iPhone can’t.

How many e-mail addresses are too many?

Most people would probably say more than one or two are enough, but I have very specific uses for the almost dozen addresses I use regularly. The problems come when people who know me enough to know more than one, but not enough to know which one…or the fact that most of them will get [...]
