Merry Christmas!

( My Day )

Happy holidays to everyone. I drove up yesterday in record time to make it to church. I would’ve made it with time to spare too, except for a backup on 94. After church, I hurriedly wrapped 20 presents or so and realized that I’d left my sister’s in Evanston. Weak…

Anyway, we […]

New phone?

I want a new phone… the down key on my T610 seems to be about to give up the ghost. Here are the candidates:

Motorola V3 (the RAZR). Mmmm, thin. Also a flip phone, so it would protect the buttons / screen. However, unable to work with a href=’http://homepage.mac.com/jonassalling/Shareware/Clicker/’>Salling Clicker or iSync […]

Sideways

So El and I went to go see Sideways tonight. It’s the new Alexander Payne movie. It was much less hateful than his other stuff, I felt.

Paul Giamatti was kick ass. I love the fact that this guy is a star, that he can solidly anchor a movie. That makes me […]

The Rebel Sell

This is an article about a book about how being anticonsumerist is really just feeding consumerism. My brain hurts.

My very own… something?

I really want to put together a program for myself. The last piece of code that was just for me was the PHP app that runs Bull and Bunny. While this venerable piece of code (I call it Clark) has chugged on for about 2 years now with no updates necessary, I think […]

Blade Trinity

Adam and I went to see Blade Trinity last night. First off, I have to say that the movie isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I think it’s because it moves so quickly that you never really have time to realize how bad some lines are. And the actors […]

Last outing of the Titans

( My Day )

So, the tenth anniversay Titanic show came and went. More importantly, I got to perform with my team one last time. We all made it (handy that most of us still live in Chicago). We spent the day together just hanging out again. Went to JK Sweets, of course.

At first, I […]

The Laundry Rug

Sounds like a perfect solution to me. Way to think outside the box, Addject.

Hanzi Smatter

“Dedicated to the misuse of Chinese characters in Western culture.”

Very funny stuff.

The Storyweavers

Last night, I saw the Storyweavers (Dennis and Lucinda Flodin) at Uncommon Storytelling. The place was packed with storytellers, there to see them. Dennis has cancer, and no one’s sure quite how much time he has left. Instead of the usual format for the night, the open mic and featured set was […]
