The End Of The Line

I have a second opinion that’s just like the first. I’ve spent three months in either a boot or a cast, which haven’t make the pain stop.\ I get my ankle opened up, and the pesky extra bone removed, next Friday at high noon. I would say I’m looking forward to it, but I’m really […]

How To Convince Your Company To Embrace Standards

Since we’re listed on the official panels list, I figure I can blog about it. Our panel got approved for SxSW Interactive next year!!\ It’s called How to Convince Your Company to Embrace Standards and should be a lot of fun. We’ve had a really interesting experience the past couple years trying to push AOL […]

Jen’s new shows

Since Kevin did it, I will too.\ 1. Prison Break– It’s an intense drama that is making me root for both convicted felons and the innocent underdog.\ 2. Supernatural– Kind of like Charmed and Buffy, but without the preternatural abilities. Absolutely cheesy, but the boys are pretty.\ 3. Commander-in-Chief– This reminds me of what The […]

New Television To Watch And Enjoy

The television season is now several weeks old, but I hadn’t caught up with enough new shows to make recommendations. Now, I have, and we have some winners!!!

I’m Not A Designer

Have you ever seen something and said, “I wish I could design like that?” Well, check out The Oddzballz. Yeah, told you.\ I’m not a designer, but boy would I love to be one. I’m not one to say I’m one just because I can screw around with PhotoShop and make gradients. I know too […]

The Whole Busted Up Ankle Story

I told you how it happened a while ago. Now, I’ll tell you what I did. I just found this great explanation of what an accessory navicular is. I’ve got one of those, and my little stumble in India moved mine around where it’s not supposed to be. I’ve got illustrations for you too: A […]

Six Weeks in a Cast

Anansi Boys At The Halfway Point

I got Anansi Boys, Neil Gaiman’s latest, in the mail last week, and am about halfway through it. I love it. I almost don’t want to finish it, because that means it’ll be over, it’s so much fun.\ Yes, this is only half a review. If you liked the humor in Good Omens, you’ll like […]

New Laptops

Work just gave me a brand new Dell laptop to replace my ancient Windows machine. What’s the first thing I do – even before installing Firefox on it? Put my MY MACINTOSH RULES sticker on it. Gotta declare your allegiances, man.\ It’s funny, but I’ve been a full-time OS X user for about three years […]
