Journaling, photos, letters home, and other little mementos to remember me by.
/sigh Fighting w/ CSS. This wiki thing is working out great (certain … uh … politics aside) except for how it seems to only play nice in Firefox. Haven’t checked Mozilla but I’m sure it’s fine in there. The IE and Safari caveats are driving me fucking bananas though. Wrestling w/ stylesheets written by other […]
As part “Meme-watch ’05” and in the proud tradition of “What’s On Your Dock?”, via Boing Boing — “What’s In Your Bag?” Spilling forth from a Timbuk2 Detour: KetelOne, K1’s power brick, K1’s VGA-out adapter, Firewire-to-Dock cable, about 4′ of Cat-5, back-up headphones, about $0.85, a folder with some papers in it, a clipboard with […]
FRAUD! My new credit card is on the way. Since apparently someone had their way with my last 16-digit mash-up. Some weird charges from Handango showed up on my January statement that I’ve been wrestling with ever since. And then today the bank calls to check in because an “internet transaction” on my card was […]
Scientists estimate that I moved over 2 million pounds of snow over the weekend to dig out the front of my house.
Ever since last July, our basement has been all but useless. It was just never the same after that sewage incident. Which (I suppose) is just as well since we’ve really needed a junky area these past few months to paint things and stack things and store things and just generally have one less room […]
Nice little condensed piece from techsoup.org on setting up an OS X server. Saving for later… *snip!* Another idea I find very appealing: iPod shuffles at libraries for Audible content. Supa cool. On the close to home front: “Dartmouth retools for Wi-Fi video”— Potentially disastrous if not executed properly. If I’m reading this correctly, this […]
A found_drama & dopaminergic tag-team post! What does a proper home bar require? (a.k.a. what’s in the medicine liquor cabinet?) We asked ourselved the question: If one were to stock a mini-bar in their home, what are the required items? brandy gin (preferably Hendrick’s) “clean” vodka (preferably Ketel One) one or more flavored vodka(s) (w/ […]
Via x180, this is perhaps the most fucking brilliant convention wisdom I have heard to date: The end result is that it’s essentially impossible to become successful or well off doing a job that is described and measured by someone else. Indeed. currently playing: Depeche Mode “Dream On”
Weekend on-call shifts are always a slight drag. There have been very few that I’d call “busy” or “catastrophic” but it’s just enough responsibility to keep a man a bit down. Mostly it’s these two thoughts: (1) that at any moment I might get a call where I can’t provide immediate relief and (2) that […]
Why is it that I always get my best writing ideas when it’s least convenient? Not looking forward to the next few consecutive nights of on-call action. (ugh) Need to figure out a way to sneak in some writing. Take the dream from the other night and get that flipped some way into a short. […]
