I was talking to a guy I work with about the Swedish Chef from the old Muppet Show. I’d forgotten all about “bork”. It’s the funniest four letter (what is it, onomatopoeia, word, thing?) in the world. So funny in fact, I deleted one of my screennames on AOL to create a new one: Bork […]
I’ve ripped all my Morphine albums now except Cure for Pain, which I’ve misplaced somewhere. Morphine was my favorite band of the 90’s. Their mellow bass driven lounge rock was perfect. Their first three albums, Good, Cure for Pain and Yes are essential members of any good music library and great artillery for self-indulgent pity […]
Why is now my favorite time in Max’s life so far? He connects things now and can have a real conversation (well, real in a surreal way). Last night, we had to take my little brother to school on our way out to dinner. Steve has the flu, but had to go to class anyway. […]
In my recent techno-obsession, I’ve forgotten all about Phish. Today, I’m listening to a bunch of their albums, and the first one I picked up is still my favorite. Billy Breathes is an amazing album. In the album’s 45 minutes, Phish manages to use all of their talent to create an album that sounds better […]
I resolved not to watch anything on TV with “9/11” in the title. That left me with very few options, which was fine with me. I played with Max, cleaned up, waited for Jen to get home, and played some Jak and Daxter (beat the big robot at the end… now I have to go […]
For everyone who bought one of those durable vinyl car flags, there were those who thought we deserved it. And, as strong as my reaction is to both of those extremes, I know I’ve spent at least a second at each one of them, and at many places in between. That said, there’s some stuff […]
This is a difficult topic for me, and one that I hope I won’t talk about again for a very long time. As the anniversary approaches, I’ve been thinking more and more about how to commemorate it. I’ve decided a few things: I won’t be watching the “specials” on the news or any other channel. […]
Dick Cheney’s warning the nation of a possible marriage between Al-Qaeda and Iraq. Where does a couple like that register? I wouldn’t think Target would have what they’re interested in. What did the choose as their china pattern? What’s their song? Who’s the bride? Was there a dowery? Who gave the bride away? How do […]
Oh yes, and they’re lovely. I remember visiting this site many moons ago, and harvesting loads of fonts. Since then, they’ve expanded: Free dincFONTS. Some beautiful typefaces for your designery.
I’ve linked to my friend Mike’s climbing stories before. Mike has deigned to grace us with his presence in the wonderful world of blogging. Mike’s a great guy (my former boss) and an excellent writer. Be on the look out for great things (no pressure, Mike, no pressure at all).
