You Wanna See?

So, my favorite thing about Movable Type so far is the modules. My whole pages are modular, and I love it. I can change one file and rebuild, and it changes everywhere. You wanna see? Here’s my homepage template: <$MTInclude module="pageHeader"$> <$MTInclude module="menuHeader"$> <$MTInclude module="menuLastTenOffset"$> <$MTInclude module="menuLinks"$> <$MTInclude module="menuFooter"$> <$MTInclude module="blogHeader"$> <!– start entries –> […]

And The Emmy Goes To…

The coolest thing about the Emmy nomination list for this year is that the nominations aren’t dominated by crap actors who people think are “due”, and there is a good collection of non-network shows and actors nominated. The fact that most of the cast of Six Feet Under was nominated, plus Michael Chiklis (who’s show […]

We Are Installified!

Yessiree Bob, Movable Type is now installed on this site, and everything has been migrated over. How cool is that? The only problem was importing. It refused to do all 653 entries at once, and I had to break up the files. I think we’re golden now. There may be some duplicate entries, but I […]

Random… RARH!!

More random goodness, it’s a mechanical dinosaur!!

Oh Crap

So, if this turns out to be more than a witchhunt… we’re screwed.

Robin, What Happened?

“I want to do… nothing”

My vacation is coming up in a couple weeks (8/3 in fact). I don’t have an agenda yet. Jen has a bunch of ideas, like putting up shelves or finally decorating our bedroom. Nothing’s speaking to me though. I feel like Ron Livington’s character in Office Space. I want to do … nothing. I want […]

Mr. Lawver Cannot Take Your Call…

When you start referring to yourself in the third person, the end is near.

Daddy, What Do You Do?

I was reading Cowboy Dreams in this week’s Washington Post Magazine, and it struck me that Max won’t really know what I do until he’s much older. I don’t know that it bothers me, but it’s different. I grew up knowing pretty much exactly what my dad was doing. He was a navigator in the […]

Invisible Blogging

I’ve blogged and blogged today and you haven’t seen any of it. Work has been pretty wacky this week, and well, that’s not leaving a lot of free time for fun stuff like talking about stuff. There’s all kinds of stuff to talk about too… what with Max doing cute and funny things to our […]
