Three Post Night

It was weekly, couple-with-a-toddler weekend movie night. We had one hit, one miss this time. We’ll start with the miss. 15 Minutes: Avoid this piece of crap like the plague. If you have to watch it, watch the first 45 minutes, stop the movie, and finish the movie in your head. It will be a […]

Happy Happy Happy Part 2

Oh yeah… The Underpants Gnome episode of South Park is on Comedy Central RIGHT NOW! It was the first episode I ever watched all the way through. I still don’t watch it all the time, but Saturday night @ 10 is the perfect time to watch, and it’s the best episode ever! Remember: Step 1 […]

I got my first link

Are you ready for some vicarious football?

It’s fantasy football time! We had our draft yesterday (which was cool, you could draft if you were there, and it turned to auto if you left – nice). I haven’t been impressed so far with nfl.com‘s ui for their fantasy stuff. It’s confusing, and things aren’t where you expect them to be. IE: It’s […]

Some genius from Zeldman’s latest

Some genius from Zeldman’s latest Glamorous Life: Faith is a feeling that tells you it’s okay to trust a feeling.Hope is a feeling that some day you’ll find faith.Sometimes I see everyone I’ve ever loved filling the rooms of a great house.

So, I got my annual

So, I got my annual review this morning at work, and I must say, I’m very happy. I’ve worked for some pretty good managers in my career (yeah, I’m 26 and I have a ‘career’), but my current one is the best yet. He gets it. He knows what it’s like to write code, and […]

oh boy

So, day one of my two-day sanity check: Woke up a little after normal time so I could watch Max so Jen could do church stuff. Watched Max all morning, played and tickled and laughed. Put Max down for a nap. Ate leftovers for lunch (from the FAB-U-LOUS roast from Sunday – want the recipe? […]

Unknown Origins

My mom’s into genealogy (I know I spelled that wrong – don’t care – you’ll see why later). Through contacts in the family, and lots of research, she’s traced our ancestors back to the 1600s on her side, and to the 1700s on my dad’s. I hate to shock anyone who knows me, but I’m […]

Accidental Tourism

Hey kiddies and welcome to Monday here at LawverLand. Today, in an effort to combat boredom and the residual anger of layoffs, I’m wearing an amazing Hawaiian shirt. It’s leaves and tropical flowers in four or five outrageous shades of blue. I can’t take myself seriously in it, and I hope no one else does. […]
