My pal Jon is a friggin’ genius. His series, The Philosophers, is a gem. The second frames of numbers 10 and 11 are pure gold. If you haven’t found Jon’s crazyness yet, go now. No, really, stop reading this depressing crap and go. I’ll be here when you get back.
Excuse me while I go boil me some water. I don’t know what it is, but boiled water doesn’t taste very good. I don’t recommend it.
Isabel was a tease. Yeah, we have to boil our water until they tell us we can go back to gargling willy nilly. But, last night actually wasn’t bad. Granted, we live in the sainted little corridor that got the least rain and wind in the DC area. Plus, we live on a hill, so […]
We have lots and lots of D batteries we can put in socks and swing wildly if the terrorists decide that now is the best time to attack our house. I feel a lot better with that out in the open.

Oh yeah, it’s time to beautify your desktop with some gorgeous wallpaper via the fine folks at Veer. Ultra-swank and incredibly varied for one little place. You will like it, I promise.
Have trouble with your Mac hanging up during boot, or have weird application problems you’re not quite sure how to fix (like jEdit all of a sudden stops working)? Try booting into single-user mode! Reboot, and hold down the Apple key and S. When you finally get a command prompt, type: fsck -y and hit […]
