A delectable gift

I slowly circle it, taking in every angle of it’s beauty while it calmly stands there oblivious to my devious thoughts. I examine each of it’s 20 or so stems; the color and shape of it’s bloom, it’s proximity to the others and it’s scent. Finally I choose one. A slight tug […]

Get ready….

Are you pumped up for Macworld? Justine and I certainly are. We know how to rock it. Thanks Ronald Jenkees for his fat beats.

Here’s a taste of what we did last year. What’s going to happen this year? I don’t know, but we’re aiming to outdo ourselves.

Justine died :(

About a month ago the guys at Black20 killed justine.

Their episodes are hilarious, so it’s worth checking them out for a good laugh.
Of course, I was completely crushed. No worries though. I have a plan…

Thank goodness for vacation. I never would have finished this without a couple days off.

New keyboard layouts

I’ve been using Dvorak for years and I looooove it. When people find out (usually by failing to type on my keyboard), they often ask me why I switched.
Here’s a good list of pros and cons. I was convinced when I read this
Comfort: Dvorak wins this contest hands down. The Dvorak keymap is […]

Bugs watch out, those flowers want you

pitfall pitcher (more photos)
For the past few weeks I’ve been feeling blue. There’s just something about an approaching birthday that is terrifying for me. All those life questions keep me awake at night, like “What am I doing with my life? Am I happy? Should I do something else?” and I […]

What fruit?

It’s been a long time since I’ve discovered a new fruit. I first heard chatter about this fruit here and before we could figure out what it was, the fruit guys dropped off a handful of them at our office.
So what is it? Pineapple guava. It has an artificial taste and smell, […]

gobble gobble

Happy turkey day! Someday I’d love to try tofurkey and turduken. Sadly, this is not the year. Anyone had experiences with either of these?
For those of you who never experienced the turkey hand as a kid (or want to relive it), watch this video to learn how to make a turkey. […]

Cheese! and happycakes

I had a great time at the Songbird and Satisfaction Kubrick and Cupcake party on Thursday. It’s always nice to catch up with people I haven’t seen in a while. I haven’t been going out much lately (been working a ton), but if it’s a costume party or there are happy cakes I’m […]

Oh, internet, I love you

We met on the internet (except for Rinzable who is Coley’s sister. I think they met in the crib). Though Kevin and I work 100 ft from each other, we chatted online before we spoke in person. Yes, I know that is totally dorky. I met Coley and Faruk on iilwy, […]

Yummy Leopard

The day that Leopard launched I had to run out at 6pm to get my hands on a copy. For those who haven’t upated, it’s probably not a bad idea to wait for them to work out the kinks. I had some issues because:
1. I recently replaced my 80g drive with a 120g, […]
