I’m Alive!!

I swear I’m still here. I’m too busy eating good (read: real) Mexican food, chasing Max, getting my butt kicked in Pinochle (I don’t know why, but I still don’t get the whole stealth table talk language they have), recovering from TiVo withdrawal, and going to Zia for cheap music. I will leave you with […]

AZ – Dry and Dry… Did I Already Say It’s Dry Here?

I’m in Arizona and you’re not (or are you?). We’re here, it’s gorgeous and we’re having fun. I just made it through all 100+ e-mails in both of my inboxes and checked my Fantasy Football score (I’m down by ONE point. All his players are finished, and I still have my quarterback. I can smell […]

Bang, Bang – Oh, We WEREN’T Supposed to Sell You That Gun?

What do you do when you can’t trust your government? Not that this is a new problem. Maybe I’m just paying more attention, or listening to All Things Considered more. This report angers me to no end. To sum up, the Administration and Congress have decided that some civil liberties are OK to destroy and […]

Guilt, Failures and Triumph

It’s been an insane week. I would tell you about it, but I really can’t. It’s all work stuff: top secret and stressful and aggravating. Something that was supposed to work doesn’t, and everything I did to work around it, hack it, massage it, tickle it, talk dirty to it, etc, failed. So, it’s not […]

Max: King of the TP

Max has been on a creative tear lately. He’s been making up interesting games, songs, etc. He’s also been full of energy from dawn to dusk and not taking naps. I guess he’s really three now. Last night, I came home from work to find Max and Jen sitting on the sunroom floor building “sand […]

Spiders, Wolfs and Steve McQueen, Oh My!

Jen was sick this weekend so I ran to the local video store and grabbed some sick-movies. Here’s the recap: Eight Legged Freaks: A small town in Arizona, dumbass, cute cop, colorful local characters… big scary monsters killing the population? Oh yeah, this is Tremors with more eyes and legs. The spiders were pretty cool […]

Like Tide For Your Pics

I’ve been visiting the site for a few weeks for the pictures, but wow, the Amelie Effect just posted at a.lifeuncommon.org is just the coolest! It makes the colors really pop out in an image. Cool stuff. If you’ve got PhotoShop 7, definitely check it out. She has some other cool unsharpitating (yes, i made […]

Again, Said Better Than I Ever Could

I’m Not So Dumb AFTER All!

Apparently, I’m not as dumb as I thought I was. I’ve been working on this photo blog because keeping them all on Max’s page just isn’t working. I wanted an easy way to create Movable Type export files from PhotoShop exported web galleries. Sounds reasonale enough, right? Since I’m doing all this on my Powerbook, […]

Disgusting Polling

It’s time to talk about Tuesday’s election. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and this has been boiling under the surface for a while. I’ve not been able to actually put it into words until (hopefully) now. Less than 40% of the country turned out to vote on Tuesday. That 40% changed the balance […]
