Thursday's child feels like it's Friday and Monday all at once
- So this girl just posted to damnportlanders that she's considering beginning to make picnic tables. Now, Portland is strong with the crafts movement and all, but I don't see many people waking up saying "I'm going to start making picnic tables!". Then again, it's been kind of hot and humid out here, and Portland people are a little punchy in those ( Read more... )

A little summer reading
So before going to Reno for the weekend last week I was dinking around in one of the local RPG/Magic/bookstores and I noticed a copy of Asimov's Foundation for 99 cents. I piked it up, since I have never read it. Once I started reading it, I got to thinking of all the other "classic" books that I am aware of, but never read. Although I've always ( Read more... ) -
Geeking out hardcore. Well, maybe...
As you all know, I'm an un-reformed gamer from way back. Been playing mostly Magic the last couple of years, but last weekend I went over to Guardian Games for the D&D 4.0 release day events and sat in on a pre-gen adventure.
That was a mistake.
I've been jonesin' to get back into a good D&D game for a long time, and the 4th gen rules streamline the ( Read more... ) -
Technology leaps over the ol' Markalope
So I'm very digital in many ways. I'm online all day every day, I'm down with the video games (although my XBOX just red-ringed on me, which is very annoying). I don't even HAVE checks for my checking account - everything is paid electronically. However, there are FEW things that I am decidedly NOT keeping up with. Here's a short list.- I do all my ( Read more... )

Time for prom
So I'm driving home the other night and This American Life is doing "prom" theme, which reminds me that I have to tell you all a prom story before I forget about it again. Anyway, today on Carrie Brownstein's blog @ NPR, she's got a list of Oregon High School prom themes for this year.
Here's a link to the post:
I've Had The Time of My Life @ ( Read more... ) -
Tired.
So, it's a long story. But the bottom line is, that right now, I'm tired. Not tired of posting per se, but my overall tiredness has been manifesting itself in a lack of energy to post. I found this quote in Sunday's Times Magazine's cover story on Emily Gould's blogging life.
"The will to blog is a complicated thing, somewhere between inspiration ( Read more... ) -
3 hours in Chinese
Here's script cell 2_02a, but you really miss the fun of it when it's not spoken:
Seagate SV35 系列磁盘具备行业标准的 PATA 和 SATA 界面、7200-RPM 转速和优化搜寻设定，这些工具完全符合高要求视频监控系统的需求。
There's about 40 more of those, and then we get to do the whole thing again in Taiwanese/Mandarin!
Livin' the glamorous producer's life. Enjoy the weekend, all. -
These guys are worth seeing
These guys (Big Sam's Funky Nation) are worth seeing live. My boss saw them a couple of weeks ago in New Orleans at Jazz fest, and noticed that they were playing at Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz last night, so we went out and caught the show. Excellent show, but you know, with an 8AM conference call and those three beers, yeah..... This white screen ( Read more... ) -
Just put up this website
We just put this new website up, for a "future of television" play based in Silicon Valley. It's a little light on info, since they're in "stealth mode" but I've seen their technology which is very cool. Anyway, the site is worth a look. It's video heavy, so there's a download at the beginning.
It's pretty much all Flash in an HTML wrapper, except ( Read more... ) -
It's not like that, really...
Or maybe it is - or maybe we just won't address it at all. Let's start off with a short list:
Top five things I could go for, in a big way, RIGHT now.- Those Morton's frozen honeybuns you used to be able to get back in the day.
- A salty roll from Lulu Carpenter's in Santa Cruz
- Two eggs any style, bacon and rye toast from the Star Deli in Manhattan
- A ( Read more... )
