People who aren't bike-oriented sometimes have a very hard time understanding that for bike-oriented people, being on the bike is not a hardshipI went to a party tonight with some work friends and had a very nice time, but did wind up bumping into this ( Read more... )

One of the souvenirs I brought home from my work trip right after Thanksgiving was a nasty cold (another was a self-inflicted dislocated thumb; ow). BossLady has been out sick too, even sicker than I was, for the past week or so.

In preparation for the Halloween potluck at the end of the month, one of my co-workers sent out an email request that people submit photos of themselves as kids dressed up for Halloween. I'd gone through our photos not too long ago, so I knew I had a suitable one. After spending a little while digging through the photos again (it would be good to ( Read more... )

And coffee. Large coffee.

I click over to Tineye, enter the URL of the image I'm looking at, and hey presto it pops up 55 results of varying levels of similarity. Sure enough, one of ( Read more... )

I find I'm having no trouble resisting most of the edible goodies that people have been bringing in to the office. This seems to be holding true even though today is the "holiday dessert faire ( Read more... )

First day back at work after being out sick all last week. When I saw the co-worker I think I caught this from - or rather, when I heard her coughing and stopped by to say hi - I said, "So, you're at least three weeks ahead of me, which means I can look forward to this thing lingering a while, right ( Read more... )
