I tested an 11" Macbook Air. The keyboard feels good, but that screen just isn't big enough for me. I tend to have three or four windows open at once, and the small screen didn't feel suited to that. I can make use of the sidebar on the iPad in small doses, and it really is meant to be a limited-use function; I'm just too used to the 13" screen ( Read more... )

There are times when I don't mind being wrong, and this weekend has turned out to be one of them ( Read more... )

I finally got out of town on Saturday. Went to Louisville to hang out with D, and it was, on the whole, a very good day. We indulged our craft nerd sides - she has a nifty new mug and I got some new cheeses from a local dairy. Shopping on Bardstown Road, including throwing some money at Ear X-Tacy, 'cause if there's any music store that deserves to ( Read more... )

Yes.

I could do with more days like yesterday.  Had three main options for the day - lay around the living room, go to a party in Knoxville, or go look at something cool.  The last option was the big winner.

I picked up elalyr and tegyrius and off we went to the Air Force museum in Dayton.  I hadn't been in a few years, and the last trip was very very short, so we ( Read more... )

After a terrific dinner Friday night, the suggestion of a Knights of the Old Republic game came up.  Holy cow, could I go for this.  See, in spite of all of the SW games I've run, I've never been a player in one.  And my reading of the KotOR campaign guide has really got me interested in that era.  So, with any luck, in a couple of nights, we'll ( Read more... )

Yesterday was shaping up to be a perfectly good day of doing nothing.  I was still in my pajamas when Clayton called around 2 p.m. to see if I wanted to get out to dinner with him and the missus that evening.  We wound up at Corky's, then went to Graeter's for ice cream.  Parked next to a blue-on-white Shelby GT500, then passed a black Ferrari ( Read more... )

What a week.  It's definitely 4th Quarter at 100 Midland Avenue.  Huge volume of ads this week, and Friday night was bugnuts.  Stayed 2.5 hours late - that'll be a nice boost to this paycheck.

Saturday afternoon made up for it.  Lunch with Erin and Camille&Clayton and Colin.  Beer-can chicken with lots of sides.  We ate big, and threw around ideas ( Read more... )

Unloaded some stuff at the city's not-yet-open Half-Price Books yesterday.  Some old gaming stuff (2nd ed Shadowrun, Vampire, Rifts, and Star Trek) and some books that were just clutter, ultimately.  Was expecting a few bucks.  Got about 75 - and some shelf space!  Right now, a large box of Mage and Dark Ages WoD stuff is looking like fodder for ( Read more... )
