phase 1 – partial failure
Well, mostly failure, let’s be honest. Removal of the glass involved two tiny screws on the bottom edge of the phone. Then you use a suction cup to lift the glass up out of the rest of the body. Since I didn’t exactly have a unified surface to pull on, I put a piece of […]

apple 2 – ben 0
I broke the screen on my second iPhone this morning. The first time I ran right out and purchased an unsubsidized specimen to the tune of $600. So in love was I, after only a few months of ownership, that I couldn’t bear a moment apart. Now I find myself trash talking the smart phone […]

a little backed up
Yeah, so our toilet wasn’t working up to its potential yesterday. Naturally I was blamed and as I was plunging away I could hear the other drains in the house gurgling. No matter how hard I plunged, the toilet just would not drain quickly. Amy ran the washing machine and more gurgling. Then I put […]

kessenuma tsunami
I’ve always had a fascination with tsunamis. In my head (and in the movies) I always imagine this monster rip curl cresting over the city, but in reality I guess it starts out a lot more innocuously and builds from there. The videos from India a few years ago were the first real footage I’d […]

high on the heel
F THAT S! I’ve never been a fan of the high heels. Some have suggested it’s because I’m short and can’t handle a tall woman. No, no. It’s just too overt. Why don’t you bind your feet, or lengthen your neck while you’re at it?

head trauma
There’s unrest in the Middle East? Weird. The Guardian has photos of some of the make-shift helmets that Egyptians are cooking up to protect themselves from flying debris in everyone’s new favorite rally place that is square – Tahrir. In case you hadn’t heard yet, Tahrir means Freedom everybody. Also, Liberty. Don’t let the symbolism […]

domain renewal
Man, so the new web host didn’t go ahead and transfer management of this domain over when I signed on with them last year. I kept getting notices from my old host telling me that the domain was set to expire on January 31st and I was all like, whatever you say ICDSoft, I’m over […]

running out of steam
I’m really running out of steam with this blog. It’s not that I don’t have things to posts or things to say. We’ve done work to the house that I want to share, I haven’t done a music post in ages… it’s this whole Internet situation. Carving out time at work, or tapping stuff out […]

let there be red tape
Wow. Okay, got a phone call from Topsham on Friday at home. Naturally, I wasn’t able to hear that message and then respond until today (Monday). Apparently a crew came to the house on Thursday or Friday and discovered that power and communications run from the pole to my house underground. They won’t perform that […]
