AL2 I don’t know what his secret is, but it makes me laugh… long, and hard until tears squirt out the sides of my eyes, and boogers roll out of my nose. Yes, it’s booger-rollin’ funny.

New Favorite Song: Bonnie & Clyde
I have a new favorite song: Bonnie & Clyde from Luna‘s Penthouse. The “Wooo-hooo-hooo” bits just make me smile, the beat, violins and cooler-than-thou sultry French lyrics (about Bonnie & Clyde, and Jesse James being dead) are just heaven to my ears. Luna is a recent discovery, and they’re just peachy. They’re jangly, punchy and […]
Waiting is the Hardest Part
The hardest part is the waiting. I’m giving a presentation on web standards (and revealing a pirate redesign of one of AOL’s big products) in 30 minutes. I’m sitting here in this empty conference room, which I got to an hour early to make sure all the equipment worked and that I could get the […]
I’m Going, Are You?
I just asked for approval from work to attend SXSW next year. Are you goin’? I am (I hope).
Blogging With Movable Type
The first class has been posted, and the domain name is live. I’m so excited. I’m teaching a class (starting tomorrow, so register soon!) on Movable Type over at Eclectic Academy. If you’ve ever want to try out MT, and haven’t been able to install it, or have it installed and don’t know what to […]
Lessons Learned
Well, that was fun. Fun, as in not really fun, extremely stressful and heartbreaking. Congratulations to the winners, and a pat on the back for all the losers (including me). Before anyone starts thinking it, or assuming I think it, I don’t don’t think anyone “stole” this election. I think the GOP won it. I […]
Small Consolations
I just woke up, and apparently, the world’s gone crazy again. The one small consolation I can take from all of this is that our precinct went Kerry. A lone spot of blue in VA’s sea of red. UPDATE: Another small consolation: even though I spent last week eating out in California, my blood pressure […]
Fearless Prediction
I wanted to get this down before the polls close, and would have done it sooner, but Jen had to go get her hair cut (looks fabulous, by the way), and Brian was cranky. I haven’t seen any exit polls, so this is the same prediction I made last week in California, and the same […]
Carrie Nokes and the Precinct Volunteers
Carrie Nokes and the Precinct Volunteers I just got back from helping with Get Out The Vote stuff at our local polling place (the Farm Heritage Museum in Sterling), and wow. I was absolutely blown away. We reached 50% of registered voters having voted at 2pm, and blue (Democratic) sample ballots outnumbered yellow (Republican) ones […]
Go Vote!
Please go vote today. If you’re in Sterling, and you vote at the Farm Heritage Museum, I’ll be there from 12-2. I hope to see you there. Go Kerry!!
