It snowed last night, which meant that I had to scrape the truck down before I could leave. After sitting in the car for a few minutes, waiting for the defroster to do its thing, I decided to pop open the laptop and see if I could get to the wireless network in the basement […]
I’m probably going to India next month. It’s not a place I’ve ever wanted to visit. Nothing against India, it’s just not in my travel plans (well, it wasn’t). After reading the journal of MR. TROY, I really am not looking forward to it.\ I have an overarching philosophy when it comes to travel: only […]
This site, as you see it on 2/22 (happy birthday, dad!), is a mess of two or three half-done redesigns that I just never finished. I can’t stand it, but I don’t really have time to change it. I really want to redo it, but I keep setting my sites too large (I’m thinking CSS […]
Just to clear the air, I’m sorry. I really am. To everyone at work who’s had to listen to me sniffle, sneeze and blow my nose, I’m sorry. If I had known that every single decongestant known to man would fail miserably in the never-ending onslaught of mucous, I would have stayed home. If this […]
One of the things I loved about SXSW was all the stickers. I came home with too many, and a lot of them were free. Granted, this is a little thing, but it was fun. I got one of Matt’s XFN Friendly stickers, one of Leia’s stickers, and a bunch more from the folks at […]
Because I taught that class on blogging, I now have a PayPal budget, which I’m now going to call my T-Shirt Budget. I used part of my new T-Shirt Budget to buy one of these (the torch one in gold).\ I don’t know why having a t-shirt budget makes me happy, but it does.
Here’s what I sent to the local papers… Apparently, my local delegate is quite the fundamentalist.\ To the Editor:\ Delegate Dick Black’s extremist agenda has reached a point where he is literally willing to throw the baby out with the bath water. He wants to force women to carry unwanted pregnancies, and then he wants […]
Ireland: Athassel Priory\ I love this shot. The sun broke through the clouds while we were at Athassel Priory and lit up the whole place.\ Man, I love Ireland. If it weren’t so expensive, cold and wet and had such horrible television, I would probably move there.
Here we are, the last four Ireland Photosets: Rock of Cashel Hore Abbey Cahir Castle Athassel Priory\ What fun. Saturday was a great day, even though I was completely knackered at the end of it, and had to run through Heathrow the next day lugging six liters of Club Orange and a backpack that must […]
Look Ma, Nothing In There! Jen took these with the old digital camera while I was in Ireland. I love this picture. Brian has green mess all over his face (and I’m trying like mad to avoid the obvious booger jokes), and absolutely nothing in his mouth. His defiant baby snarl says, “Ha ha, mom, […]
