Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
I was ordering a couple books from Amazon this evening, and had a look at the “My Store” feature. It recommended I purchase some music, and it’s recommendation made me giggle some. Axe and Coop and anyone else who’s had brunch a couple times at The Pump will understand.
Instead of fiscal responsibility- which it’s a little late for, now – the current administration in the U.S. continues to spend like anyone with 18-gazillion credit cards would. I guess it’s understandable, because their personal fortunes aren’t affected, and most likely they’re all off the hook in two and a half years, anyways. Ever wonder […]
As Ev says, no words are needed for this one. Ok, maybe a couple words – fuel the pilot, not the projectile – only in Russia.
/misccrap/blog/bodum_breakage I purchased some of Bodum’s nifty double-walled glasses from the fine folks at Green Beanery last week. They are pretty darn cool, and each one has enough subtle imperfections from being hand-blown that they’re all unique.

Well, apparently you’ve gotta be a bald Natalie Portman or so hurtin’ you have to be the lead in a remake of the Shaggy Dog (fer fuck sakes) to make the theatres here in Bytown-land. I was really hoping to catch Don’t Come Knocking this weekend, but it’s not playing. I’m not sure if it’s […]

misccrap/blog/the_network.png We were talking about Visio diagrams the other day, spurred on by bobo’s “I hate Visio” statement, made while trying to use the damn program. Some files were exchanged, and I came across this one in my doc directory while saving and looking at the file I had been sent. I had forgotten all […]
I’m going slightly mental these days from cabin fever, and have little tolerance for anything that annoy me. This is not good, because a lot of things annoy me of late. The worst part, which personally I find troubling, is that instead of dealing with the annoyances, I just walk away. Problem there is I’m […]
Kristina and Coop had a little boy late last night. It sounds like it was not a whole pile of fun for Kris, so here’s hoping there are chocolates and bottles of wine aplenty. Congrats Kris and Chris, awesome news!
So, I am having a really hard time with focus. I think a big part of it is that I work from home and live alone, and thus have very limited social interaction with real people. Almost all my interaction is electronic, and all the modes of communication can be very intrusive on a day […]
