Lawver family breaking news: Kevin wore pants yesterday for the first time in 8 months.\ Why is this exciting news? It means Kevin is out of the boot. YAY! Sadly, he is still sore and gimpy and can’t help out around the house or go on walks yet.
I can finally reveal what I’ve been working on for the past couple months that’s making me write all this javascript. It’s I Am Alpha, something kind of new and interesting for AOL. Why? AOL doesn’t do public development. We’re usually very close-lipped about what’s going on with a product. We just launch stuff on […]
We got back from Austin yesterday, so it’s time to rethink this whole traveling thing. The trip was great from a trip perspective. I got to eat good Mexican food, barbecue and hang out with the Browns. But, my ankle wasn’t real happy about spending time in the air (swelled up pretty good), standing in […]
Reading…\ This review may be a little weird. I read it solely while either getting heat or ice at physical therapy. I loved it. It’s ridiculous, in the way the best Monty Python skits are ridiculous. It’s smart, well-written and extremely sly. The jokes are constant, and really really funny. If you think the following […]
I’ve never driven in a foreign country. When we drove around Ireland, I made Porter do all the driving. Now, I’m going to France for the Plenary, and I’m renting a car. The only thing that’s making me less jittery about doing so is having a friend who lives there and is feeding me driving […]

A couple updates from the weekend (and the end of last week) before I get back to work:\ I am now a member of the Loudoun County Democratic Committee. I joined officially last week. I’m still not sure what all that means other than attending committee meetings and brushing up on Robert’s Rules Of Order, […]
I went to see Dr. Ankle yesterday, and he says to me after playing with my foot, “Yep, everything’s still intact, that’s good.” Yeah, I made a face.\ I’m allowed to wear normal shoes for a grand total of 15-30 minutes a day and have four more weeks of physical therapy. I see Dr. Ankle […]
I got Taipei Monkey this week and really want the two Taipei Buddies sets. Who wants to trade? I’ve also got Oslo Finance and Shanghai Tech Vector. And if you’re not already signed up for free delivery from IconBuffet, you should be. It’s free!
\ Some days, it feels like I’m going through life under water.\ But in other news, I go to the doctor bright and early Monday morning and find out if I can finally wear a normal shoe on my right foot. It will have been over six months since I started wearing either the Velcro […]
