Don’t you miss the days when your friends were as close as a boy and his blackberry? Those long summer days when you sought out your squishy compadres for their bulbous, inky selves. I sure do. Seeing Balthazar these days really makes me reminescent. … What the $@#%!?! Why does this kid befriend a blackberry?… Continue reading Blackberry Friends

No One Gets It
I have a bust of my head in my cube at work, of all places, and no one gets it. It’s damn funny I tell you! People are generally very impressed at the craftmanship of the sculpture. Maybe they’re trying to be respectful of my decoration choices. The intention of my bringing a life-size replica… Continue reading No One Gets It
Tuesday Marks the Day
On Tuesday we really, really start the dog food experiment. We’ve delayed long enough and the energy that persuaded us to get into this was starting to wane.
In Memory of Douglas Adams (1952 – 2001)
Today is Towel Day throughout the Universe. If you know of and love Douglas Adams, you will wear your towel in reverence of his comedic brilliance. Pictures are everywhere, though Flickr is a good start. And here’s mine. More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker)… Continue reading In Memory of Douglas Adams (1952 – 2001)
Weight Watcher’s Recipes (circa 1974)
Candy Boots has done some brilliant work resurrecting old recipe cards from the genius of Weight Watchers. My wife and friend, Amanda, had the idea to put together some product shots of the recipes highlighted on Candy Boots’ site. If we’re among the first 20 to do so, we’ll get a free copy of her… Continue reading Weight Watcher’s Recipes (circa 1974)
The Lamest Kid’s Meal Toy EVER
We looked through the informational pamphlet. Yeah – it didn’t get any more exciting inside either. There’s apparently a whole series to collect. Whoopie!
How I Work
The longest amount of time spent, and time I am unable to account for, is research. Depending on the topic, I may spend a week pouring through as many references I can find on a particular subject to get a real good feel for the information. If I don’t require reference material as I write, it goes much quicker.
Major Updates Coming
Seriously this time. I’m in the process of migrating the site over to WordPress 2.0.1. I’ve done it in beta now and have finally reached full success. There were issues with importing comments that I’ve finally worked out. The last element of known risk is permanent links. Out there in the blogosphere are links to… Continue reading Major Updates Coming

D&D is back in my life. When last played, it was referred to as AD&D, which is now quite archaic. I played Dungeons & Dragons through Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, but hung it up when my brother did. That was 20 or more years ago and I’m just revisiting a fond childhood memory. It turns… Continue reading d20
Christmas Adam
Yesterday the family celebrated Christmas Adam with my mom. It’s a traditional ceremony for us – one that I invented when I was very young, so a long-standing one at that. Christmas Adam is the day before Christmas Eve. Christian mythology teaches us that Adam came before Eve, though there are no days celebrating that.… Continue reading Christmas Adam
