August links

| September 17, 2008

links links links!  I distill some diamonds out of the crap that is the Internest.  Intercest?  Enjoy! Wow, ok this first bunch are from August I guess, forgot to post em: Stuff about the prep of the Large Hadron Collider – kind of out of date now that it’s actually going, but still has AWESOME [...]

Maui: day 5

| September 15, 2008

Fun thing you can do on vacation: spend almost 2 hours getting your son to stay asleep, as opposed to home when you would have dropped him off in his crib 100 minutes ago and been done with it. Currently I’m drinking: vodka, ice, water, kahlua with a ritz cracker (yes, in the glass).  It’s [...]

Maui: day 3 & 4 – now with added pictures

| September 14, 2008

Last night I passed out on accident and woke up at midnight…too late for a blog. Trying to remember what we did yesterday…everything is so hazy.  I believe that we got up in the morning & went swimming – J & Z in the pool and I went snorkeling a bit in the bay/cove just [...]

Maui: day 2

| September 12, 2008

OK so I got the cell card working correctly now (yay! decent internet speeds) AND I got a tiny bit of alcohol (literally – those little tiny, shot-sized things) so I had a bit of D.P.J.D. and Triple-G-Juice (I just made that up…grey goose + grape juice..har har, I know; I’m horrible.) What to say [...]

Maui: day 1

| September 10, 2008

OK, so I’m sitting on the porch of our condo thing in MAUI, drinking ice water and eating a cosco bagel and trying to write a nice blog. The cell card I borrowed from work is claiming it has a 100% full EVDO REV A signal…yet the web is not doing SHIT, except rarely.  So [...]

google face recognition thing!

| September 9, 2008

THAT’s what I was going to post about last night but forgot about. Google photos/picasa just added facial recognition to the online portion of their service.  I spent entirely too long filing faces this weekend…and it appears to possibly be worth it.  Pretty goddam handy if you’re into pictures and easily finding ones with certain [...]

Maui baby!

| September 8, 2008

I totally had something else to say, but it’s been long since forgotten.  Maybe it will come to me tomorrow. SO.  Be content in your knowledge that we will be in Maui in 2 days or so….during which our 5 year wedding anniversary will occur.  Without getting too sappy, lets just say that I love [...]

the great cd purge of ’08

| September 6, 2008

So, I have a ton of stuff.  Moving made this more evident.  I’m slowly trying to pare things down so Jen doesn’t feel so drowned in my junk (and so it’s not quite so difficult to move next time…), but it’s quite difficult. I did just manage to, rather painfully, purge about 185 cds, give [...]

Amazing Spider-Man 570

| September 5, 2008

was really good. I don’t know why, but I really enjoyed.  I’m sure of some of it had to do with Dan Slott, who is an awesome writer. I have a feeling he’ll be Marvel’s next “Bendis” in the sense of directing line wide crossovers, coordinating continuity and the like. So help me but I [...]

memo to McCain: you’re a war hero, we GET IT, now please shut up about it

| September 5, 2008

[NOTE: This is from a week or two ago, I just forgot to post it.] Seriously, how is this an answer to a question: LENO: Welcome back, Sen. McCain, for one million dollars, how many houses do you have? MCCAIN: You know, could I just mention to you, Jay, and a moment of seriousness. I [...]
