Go go oxford comma!
Ahem. Anyway. So! I’ve always been somewhat of an evangelist — but not in the religious sense (although I did go through a phase that could be said to approximate that O.o). I’ve always been maybe a little too motivated (at least internally) about sharing the music & books that I enjoy [...]

As adults. As people burdened with sadness and life, muck-stained eyelids and hearts heavy with prescience and survivor’s guilt?
I don’t know, but this is a damn cheerful sounding song isn’t it?
OK this post actually has nothing to do with midlife angst, or with how late to the Phoenix party I am (isn’t that song somewhat [...]

So… we’ve been, collectively, sick for over a week now. The boys first got whatever it is sometime around last weekend – brought home from daycare no doubt. Then I got it Tuesday, and Jen the day after or so. I missed two days of work and Jen missed one. And we’re still feeling like [...]

So, here’s the pile I’ve got to start off my year. Albeit not in pile form. I assume you can do the mental rotations and stacking, should you require that format to be suitably amused.
Except for that book on the far left (Sorceror’s Apprentice. I only paid a $1 for it…and may finish it someday), [...]

…we’re home!
(Pretend I’m posting this at 6am on Sunday the 3rd).
So. Yeah, our (mini) epic (for us) road trip has come and gone, and we survived. Thrived maybe? Even? Too much? Yeah, probably. But we did ok.
We left at about 8:45pm for the trip down & arrived in Sac around 7am I think. We stopped [...]

So recently (ok it was months ago) I was excitedly telling a friend of mine about this wonderful trick I’d learned (from my father-in-law, thanks Burt!) to preserve spinach/lettuce/etc.
Sooo…if you put leaves of lettuce/spinach/etc. in tupperware (etc.) in between two damp paper towels… it lasts longer.
As in, normally we’d go through half a bag of [...]

During which I address a bunch of disparate topics with quite parate rambles:
The season has slipped back into obnoxious up here in the Portland of the West (I’m not talking to you Portland, Maine!). Freezing wind (not literally, yet), cold nights, and RAIN. RAIN. Yes, someday we will move and leave you far behind. New [...]

For the first time in YEARS I think.
So I should post something. Right. Because we’re all here for the digits yo. Even if they be singles.
So, what’s going on lately?
Well, right now I’m annoyed that there isn’t an RSAT tool for Windows 7 RC, only RTM (how am I supposed to test it then, HUH?). [...]

So, today was the first time a person who wasn’t half me and half someone I lived with has cut my hair in oh…I don’t know, since 7th grade.
Why? Because my cutter broke, and I haven’t gotten around to getting a new one yet – I’ve been having horrible luck with the cheap ones, and [...]

Dubai may be going the way of Detroit…except on a different kind of scale. (Should we call it “Dubait” if that happens?)
Check out this story for a dose of serious reality.-
This article marks the first place I’ve seen the phrase “the Noughties” – which I fear will become the phrase for this decade. I mean, [...]
