Not In Team?

Possible reponses that may fly out of my mouth the next time someone says “There’s no I in TEAM” (inspired by this – thanks, Ray!): There’s no YOU in it either. There’s no chocolate in TEAM, which is why I‘m not there. Yes, but there is a ME. I go by MEAT when I’m in […]

Not As Geek As I Wanna Be

I am 32.54438[/b> geek, which highly disappoints me. I took the test last week, and didn’t take enough time to fully contemplate my answers and only got a 28]{style=”text-align:left;”}. I know you’ve already seen it, but you can take the test too. I am a huge geek. Not geek to the point of nerd, but […]

Miller’s Crossing

I watched Miller’s Crossing last night. A couple thoughts: The Coen’s have a great feel for language and dialect. The movie is full of great old sayings like “What’s the rumpus?” and “Givin’ me the high hat” that will probably slip into my vocabulary now. Jon Polito can chew up the scenery. I have an […]

Oh no!

Q: when / will there be the next version of IE?\ A: As part of the OS, IE will continue to evolve, but there will be no future standalone installations. IE6 SP1 is the final standalone installation.

Sorry, Newsreaders!

I tweaked the rss files (.91 and 1.0) so they only contain the last five complete posts. So, if you get all of the last five posts in your newsreader instead of just this one, I apologize. I should be done playing for now. Why did I do it? Well, fifteen complete posts is a […]

Yo Yo Max

New Pictures!! Max has discovered some of the joys of yo-yo-ing. Why some? Because he can drop it like the best of them; getting it to come back up is the trick. This problem is compounded by the fact that the string is longer than he is tall (hence him standing on the dining room […]

Oh, I Meant To

After an extremely productive day (you have no idea – a complete redesign of a major product in less than 48 hours), I expected to come home and want to work. Ummm, nope. I took some pictures of Max playing with my old Duncan Butterfly yo-yo (which will go up tomorrow), showed him some old […]

Readin’, Readin’, Readin’

On another topic, I’ve been reading a lot lately. We subscribe to a ton of magazines: Smithsonian, Utne (free with my Salon subscription – yet more reading), Premiere, and there are a couple others. I always read Smithsonian cover to cover, and here’s why (all from this month’s issue): The Nature of Cuba – which […]
