Off to a Roaring Start

The vacation’s off to a great start. Our A/C died yesterday, so we spent yesterday sweating it out in 95 degree heat, and last night sleeping in a humid sweaty heap. Now, $390 later, we find out that the dryer has been venting lint right into the outdoor A/C unit, and that means if we […]

Are You On The Tree?

If you blog, check out BlogTree (my branch). I’m not usually into memes, but I think this one could be really interesting, not only in giving credit to those who inspired us to get started, but in seeing the growth of the blog community and a timeline. Go check it out.

It’s Spread Out Before Me…

My vacation is spread out before me like an unspoiled field after the winter’s first snow. Sixteen days of no conference calls, no urgent submissions to QA, no last minute changes to implement someone’s 11th hour bright idea, no changes because someone finally read the contract. I have sixteen days to finally write FlatCat, play […]

Oh, Maybe It’s Not So Bad

Yo Yo Yo, Crackers In The Hiz-ouse!

Pepsi Spew

I just tried Pepsi Blue, the new cola variant from the folks who brought you Code Red. I’m a big fan of Code Red. I love it so much, you could call it an addiction. Pepsi Blue, on the other hand, is crap. Think, carbonated blueberry Kool-Aid with all the sugar removed and replaced with […]

Bloggers Unite (or not, it’s up to you)

An interesting article from the Washington Post: How Weblogs Keep the Media Honest by Howard Kurtz (who has one of the only shows on CNN worth watching). Read it for yourself, but it’s interesting to me that while the web has loudly turned into the world’s strip mall, it has quietly turned into the world’s […]

The Royal Tenenbaums

I can’t believe I didn’t blog about this right after we saw it. Jen and I watched The Royal Tenenbaums a couple weeks ago. If you haven’t seen it yet, drop what you’re doing, rush to your local video store (as long as it’s not Blockbuster) and rent it. Heck, go to your favorite purveyor […]

And Then, The Screaming

So, I kind of lost it today. I’ve been in the process of losing it for over a month. I was in an emergency meeting for four hours today and was a raging ass. I couldn’t stop myself. I had to yell and point and turn red. I got a headache that’s now ten hours […]

More Love For HBO

There’s more to love about The Wire. Last night’s episode was TiVo’ed, and I got around to watching it tonight. The opening scene with McNulty sending his kids off to follow Stringer Bell around using the old “front and follow” method was incredible. It was really funny, and just perfect. It’s such a great show, […]
