I’m in a heap this weekend, huddled under massive amounts of blankets and a general fog which hovers over my brain. Which would normally be awesome, since I get to whine and complain and garner sympathy for having a cold. But my backlog of work screams louder than my sinus headache so I am attending […]

I hate you, Blogger. May you burn for making me have to figure out how to switch. I was taking a nap this afternoon (look, I was up all night. I get to nap) and I was drifting off to sleep. You know the point where even though the television’s on you can’t really hear […]
Okay, for the record I may not have posted every day this week but I did donate. Work got too hectic and I just didn’t have the time to write in here. So I decided I would go the presidential route. Red Cross : ’cause you should listen the the First Lady Clinton Bush Haiti […]
And for this Wednesday my donation of the day is: Doctors Without Borders (www.doctorswithoutborders.org) From their site: “MSF has been working in Haiti for 19 years, most recently operating three emergency hospitals in Port-au-Prince, and is mobilizing a large emergency response to this disaster. Our immediate response in the first hours following the disaster in […]
Today is the American Refugee Committee (www.arcrelief.org/): …On the border we are working with a clinic that has been flooded by between 300 and 500 wounded and their families. There are estimated to be 2,000 people in total. To give you an idea of the scale of need, this small clinic has conducted more than […]
So I’m not much for much lately. An over-abundance of work has me occupied about 16 hours a day. But even focused on work it’s hard to escape the images of devastation in Haiti. And I know it’s not much, but I decided to do my little bit by donating to one charity every day […]
I’m supposed to like Chuck. It’s got this crazy combination of Josh Schwartz, Adam Baldwin, a Cake theme song and a soundtrack that seems like someone crawled into my brain and dug through my music collection. It even found some stuff I forgot I owned. Plus it’s got the crazy homeless guy from The O.C. […]
Dude, there’s nothing more disconcerting than staring at photos of Venetian Carnevale for an hour and then finally taking a moment to look up and see what was on my (muted) television only to find a montage of video clips from a Venetian Carnevale. I thought I might have finally lost all touch with reality. […]
You those annoying people who go around telling everyone they know some theory they have and how everyone should “just wait” and it’ll happen? And then run around wildly gloating when it does? Totally me. I’ll own that. Because for the last year or so I have been just waiting for some dumbass politician to […]
Oh my. December 7. It’s been awhile. I think the main reason is because, for whatever reason, the font this thing defaults to is some monospaced font. And while I have the utmost respect for monospaced fonts (Courier is sadly under-appreciated) it’s not exactly a joy to use in this context. Never underestimate the power […]
See, now this is why I try not to pay attention to anything outside my planet. I had seen and/or heard about “Palin-Bachmann 2012” t-shirts being worn around the state and assumed (as any sane person would) that they were tongue-in-cheek. Because when last I checked both women were, to one degree or another, completely […]
“I’m a PC. And Windows 7 was my idea.” So who’s taking responsibility for Vista? Because that was crap. […]
I haven’t been around here much lately, huh? Oh don’t act like you didn’t notice. I see you lurking over there. You’re fooling no one. I’m not exactly sure why. Well I am sure why. I had it in my head that I was going to write this eloquent and mesmerizing soliloquy that would leave […]
Watching television tonight— Well sort of watching television. It’s on in the background as I’m creating this absolutely gorgeous design for a website. In my head. All in my head. As a repressed memory I’m thinking. Because I can not come up with nothing for nothing. Watching television tonight an ad came on for another […]
You know what drives me seriously around the corner? When people go on and on about how many hits their site gets per day. website hits ≠ website visitors That is all. […]
When I first got my iPhone I has no idea what apps to download if any at all. Oo! Tangent! I have this relative that insists on calling appetizers “apps”. “Let’s start out with some apps” “Who’s up for apps?”. Drives me nuts. And it has hardened my heart against the usage of the word […]
I would love to see every congressperson and senator spend a few years without health insurance for themselves or their families. I imagine universal healthcare would become a priority. Politics has become so mired in back room deals and loopholes and workarounds that no real change is ever going to happen unless there’s a mass […]
I am officially firing this week. It sucked. It was hectic. And I’m exhausted. So this week is fired. Or downsized. I gotta wonder the percentage of people laid off due to the economy were just deadweight and the company didn’t have the heart to axe them sooner. Not that you were one of them, […]
Gardner Hardware Anvil Drop Day. The anvil gets tossed at noon. Although every time I get there right at noon I’ve missed it by about a minute. And it’s raining. Which frankly makes the anvil drop all the more awesome. The car’s in place (or was when I stopped by at 8:30am to drop off […]
Ah, fall. When the sound of heavy metal objects falling on top of junker cars fills the air. When the sweet smell of watermelon wafting through the wind is accompanied by projectile chunks of rind. When the “Usually-Annual-But-Sometimes-We-Miss-a-Year” Gardner Hardware Anvil Drop comes sneaking up behind you and you suddenly realize that it’s this Friday. […]
