It’s probably too soon to write much about it, but it would suck to miss the chance to make the first entry on this date (yeah I know it’s the 3rd already, but I’m sure it’s still legally the 1st until sometime tomorrow morning).
Well, I got the upstairs unpacked. Many species of disc and tape [...]
Oh hai!
Yes, as a matter of fact I *would* like for my air conditioner to stop conditioning air right around the time that Satan decides to head back to Hell because Tennessee is getting too hot for his tastes. But, could you make sure that I come home to discover this right after Southwest leaves [...]
Dear Internets,
Once again I must lament the lack of a furniture search engine providing advanced searches by dimension.
OK, so, I’m trying to find a tv stand. TV console might be a better description of what I want. Problem is everything I find is either wide and short, or tall and thin. I need medium-tall and [...]
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 [...]
I had one of those absurdist “things-I-learned-today” tidbits in my head that I meant to post, I think it was Friday night maybe? Unfortunately I don’t remember what it was now.
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 little guy was just casually lounging in the little rock garden area about a foot away from the stairs leading up the deck. 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 [...]
Poet, philosopher, composer, and solver of all the world's problems. Oh, and I code perl at the day gig.
