fleep.com Awesome deep house mixes from a DJ in Japan… (tags: blog music mp3 house) The Magical Number Seven A good essay (article?) that talks about human attention spans and puts it into a scientific context; understanding this goes a long way for understanding usability principles – – especially when it comes to things like […]
After one hell of a week, A. & I decided to take the Friday off to regroup and recupe. A little time outdoors seemed like the perfect way to get our heads at least a little back together. So we jammed out to Mt. Hunger to do that climb. She’d done part of it before […]
On my walk home from work this evening I witnessed something that’s going to stick with me for a while.

A hearty “Zza!” for CM’s visit… Though it was short, he managed to do substantial enough damage to my person. And that’s what makes it fun. (Right?) Apparently we’re going to be seeing a lot more of this lad, too. As he’s now helped himself to an interest in a Vermont restaurant and will be […]
