Lots and lots of things are different since the last time I updated, back in November. I’ve left my old job at The Startup and started at a new one. Without going into any detail, there just wasn’t room there for what I wanted to be doing, and not a lot of hope given that there ever would be any room.

So here I am at Gold Tooth Creative, which is ( Read more... )

So, then that happened.

I’ve shaved it off now, but that mustache just wasn’t a pretty thing.  If you’d like to donate money to help find a cure for cancer (and quite a few of you already have, and thanks very very much for that), please do so at this page.

My dad’s coming back from Mexico in a few days, but I won’t be able to meet him at the ( Read more... )

Lazy Sunday. Hung around. Played with some DJ software with Ripley (couple of nice little mashups, actually.)
Watching Hitchcock’s “The Birds” now, and enjoying it quite a bit. I think thatold guy knew a thing or two about filming, y’know?
You can see birds (crows) like that every day in the evenings. They commute here in Vancouver, heading East ( Read more... )

Had some friends over tonight for Deb’s going away party.  Was nice to see some folks that I hadn’t seen in a long time.  Got to see some excellent bellydancing, complete with TWO swords on her head.  In our living room.  That’s right.  Swords.  Living room.  Zills, too.  Shing-chicka-sheeng.

More sugar that I can safely shake a stick at, too.   ( Read more... )

Employee Of the Month was not the movie we were thinking of, nor was it a comedy, but it was… uh… entertaining.  We were thinking of the 2006 version http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424993/ but what we watched was released in 2004 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362590/)

Much darker.  Oddly and suddenly.  Found ourselves going “pff what?” quite a bit.   ( Read more... )

Once again, got nothing to say, but just bumbling along into Friday.  Been fighting something all week.  Took last Friday off to fend it off, but didn’t work, or at least, it didn’t work completely.

Yep.  Nope.  Got nothing.

When I sneeze really hard, sometimes I smell honey.  Does this mean I have bees in my skull?

Tonight I spent a lot of time on ( Read more... )

This one’s quick, ’cause I just got home from rebooting everything after a scheduled power outage. Today was weird. I had an old button pushed by something today, and I had to walk it off.
Arwen’s watching weird movies on NetFlix (like, awesome from-the-other-room “what the hell are you watching?” movies).
Supposed to rain tomorrow, but there’s ( Read more... )

Still stupid cold out there.  The back yard is frozen solid.  This is not normal at all for here.  Kinda freaky, actually.  So not used to it.  The grass was shattering as I walked on it to take out the garbage.  I’m pretty sure it’s my fault for buying a bike.  Sorta like washing your car makes it rain?  Yeah, sorry about that.

Our 5yo is sick, ( Read more... )

Sorry for the domain bombing out for a bit there last night.  We were getting HAMMERED by someone in China at a rate of about 2GB a day.  Not entirely sure what’s going on there, but we think Arwen’s figured it out after digging through the logs.

Snowed like CRAZAY last night.  Two inches of snow on top of the electrical cables outside.  The kids ( Read more... )
