I got Anansi Boys, Neil Gaiman’s latest, in the mail last week, and am about halfway through it. I love it. I almost don’t want to finish it, because that means it’ll be over, it’s so much fun.\ Yes, this is only half a review. If you liked the humor in Good Omens, you’ll like […]

New Laptops
Work just gave me a brand new Dell laptop to replace my ancient Windows machine. What’s the first thing I do – even before installing Firefox on it? Put my MY MACINTOSH RULES sticker on it. Gotta declare your allegiances, man.\ It’s funny, but I’ve been a full-time OS X user for about three years […]
I just can’t stop
From an article in the Toronto Star, Joss Whedon about Veronica Mars:\ “I was on fire. We had just watched the last five episodes in one day and I was just freaking out,” he says, wild-eyed. “I understand Buffy fans better watching that show and so does my wife. There’s so much pain and there’s […]
Dear Internet
You are upsetting me. Please stop using crappy old browsers. There is absolutely no excuse for using Netscape 6, Netscape 4.x, Safari 1.0, IE 5.5 or IE 5.0. They are all old, insecure, out-of-date, feature poor and tired. They are so so tired. Please retire them and get yourself a new browser. You know, one […]
I Love Information
So I needed a break from thinking about markup and decided to go check out the stats for lawver.net generated by my friendly web server. I stumbled on something interesting (to me): pages served in 2003: 67,492 pages served in 2004: 581,041 pages served in 2005: 1,003,530\ I think I joined Dreamhost in about the […]
Fess Up
I know there are some of you out there that started watching Veronica Mars over the summer. So, come on, post a reply and tell me what you thought.\ At work one day, Kevin got an IM out of blue that read, “I am hooked on Veronica Mars and it is all your wife’s fault.” […]
The Perfect Milkshake
Jen decided that we needed pizza and milkshakes for dinner tonight. Since I’d recently scored a sweet blender from Woot! and we had lots of ice cream in the house… we were all set. They turned out so well, I thought I’d share the process (since milkshakes are kind of hard to get “right” at […]
Veronica Mars wrap up
How many of you actually watched Veronica Mars this summer? Hit reply and shoot me a message. What did you think of it?\ Season 2 premiere is Wednesday, September 28, at 9 pm on UPN. The show will have another season-long mystery with smaller mysteries sprinkled through out.
Look Around, See Anything Different?
I switched some things around this evening (because there was nothing on TV). I’ve split the main page into two columns so Jen and I can post without feeling guilty for pushing each others’ posts off the front page. We also have his and her’s RSS feeds in case some of you don’t like me […]
He speaks!
Brian’s first word is officially “Max.” I am the mom, so I get to decide. Brian has mimicked sounds before, like “mama” and “dada” but we’ve never been sure if there was any meaning behind it. He has also done a breathy “hi” before, but again we weren’t sure if he intended to greet us […]
