Well I was totally prepared to wake up yesterday with a raging hangover. I wasn’t prepared for it to be completely eclipsed by a brutal and relentless head cold. Well at least it gives me an excuse to take Nyquil :)
Gah. So yeah I spent most of yesterday wrapped up in a blanket, drinking tea, [...]

Whichever one of you comes up with a way to search for furniture to fit specific dimensions will have an awesome, possibly patentable edge on your competition. And since most of you seem to have dimensions in your database already, it should be brain dead simple to implement.
No charge for the idea, my reward will [...]

This is England — fantastic film, and a new addition to the list of things that anyone flirting with nativism/xenophobia should be required to [...]

Not only did i get to see The Simpsons this weekend, I also saw Rear Window at the Belcourt, so I finally get the references in this:
I’m tempted to say “It’s all connected” but I’d hate that to be taken as a subliminal endorsement for Karl Dean. Not that it isn’t one. Eh. I don’t [...]

Whilst I wait for a gargantuan file to complete its trek by ftp, lets catch up on a few tidbits from last week’s Vacation-Mini. (I took Thursday & Friday off after the holiday).
Well the main goal was to paint my living room & parlor area. It didn’t get done. But I sorta figured that was [...]

Here’s the latest in the “weird alien things I see in my yard” category.

This was actually several weeks ago, I only just now got around to unloading my camera. It’s [...]

1. If you’re having an extremely difficult time — and I mean, holy-hell-what-the-fuck-is-going-on type difficulty cutting a slice of drywall out of your wall, there’s a good chance that drywall was just tacked on top of a 1/2 inch piece of probably 70 year old sheetrock and that little hand saw which you’re you’re trying [...]

Friday afternoon, the employer sponsored a couple of hours of knocking over bowling pins and knocking back brews. Then when I got to the Schermerhorn a short while later, the lovely bar mistress Anita had my Dos Perros ready and waiting. So by the time the NSO started in on Avner Dorman’s Variations Without a [...]

Hear that? Well it’s NOT the sound of my kitchen faucet dripping. I got all Mr-Fixit on it this weekend. Go me!
OMG OMG OMG OMG! The rumours were true — The Police are touring! Looks like I’m going to Bonnaroo.
The Richardson campaign seems to be making progress.
I’m not sure what to do here. Remember my [...]
