About this site

Hi, I’m Omar L. Gallaga.

I live in Texas and write about technology culture for various places and also do some podcasting. I worked at the Austin newspaper for a really long time, but now I freelance and work for a research company. This is the personal site I created in 2000. In 2010, I moved it to WordPress.

This is the third incarnation of the Terribly Happy Web site (which you can still see in its earlier forms on this pre-2004 archive page and in the old Blogger/Bloggystyle pages).

At one time it was terriblyhappy.com until some assclown jacked the domain, and then it moved to terribly-happy.com.

You can find more of my current tech writing at CNET.

I’m on X and Instagram, too.

Right now blog posts are offline while I deal with some WordPress issues, they’ll be back soon.
