Vacation and Secret Projects

I have this week off, and am spending lots of time doing family stuff, so don’t expect too much of me here. While watching TV, or when I’m not doing anything else, I’ve been playing with PostNuke. It’s currently a contender for a community site I’m planning. I don’t really want to talk about the […]

I Think I Screwed Up

I decided to give Scoop a try on my laptop. I figured the install would be relatively Movable Type-like. Guess again. It comes with this little install script that’s now been running for over an hour compiling and installing thing, asking me question after question, and… I hope I didn’t just make a very large […]

Random Notes

My wedding ring is getting looser. Sometimes, it slides down on one side. I’m almost to the point of being worried that it might fall off. I still have such a divot in my finger from when my ring was too small (when Jen was pregnant with Max I stupidly ate when she did – […]

Song of the Minute

Right now, I can’t get over how old-school gorgeous Soul Coughing‘s Janine is. It reminds me of 50’s pop love songs, but with a modern twist that’s just wonderful. It brings back black and white memories of those dates I never wanted to end, driving home on empty streets with the smell of greasewood and […]

Favorite Albums

In lieu of actual content today, I’ve decided to post my list of top ten favorite albums, for no other reason than every time I’ve tried to go through this exercise before I always fall into brainmelt trying to pick just ten (which is why I can’t really do my top ten favorite movies). Here […]

Kill Bill

This is unlike any movie you’ve ever seen. It may remind you a little of Pulp Fiction, but it’s just a twinge of a memory. It will nag you through the whole movie what this spectacle reminds you of. You won’t realize what it is until the end, as you sit through all the credits […]

Debate Notes

I watched the debate last night, after a long day of doing nothing (God bless vacation time!). Here are my impressions: I’m sorry Bob Graham dropped out, but not too much. He seems like an honest and reasonable guy, but he didn’t really strike me as presidential in the debates I watched. In 2000, I […]

FoodTV Used What?

Now I’ve heard everything… FoodTV just showed a commercial using a song by Kosheen. I thought I was the only person in the world who knew who they were (ok, only other person in the world, since I heard them through a friend). It’s a good album, feel-good lyrical techno. It’s no Mezzanine, but it’s […]

Clean Underpants and Bacon

Hatin’ For Jesus

This makes me ill. To sum up, an anti-gay preacher wants to put up a “monument” in Matthew Shepard’s hometown that reads:\ MATTHEW SHEPARD, Entered Hell October 12, 1998, in Defiance of God’s Warning: ‘Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination.’ Leviticus 18:22 This could get rocky, so hold on […]
