questionable identity
The weather can’t seem to decide what to do with itself lately. We’ve had -18˚ to 50˚ temps in the last two weeks. Rain on Wednesday turned the ground snow into soupy thick fog the likes of which I haven’t seen in a long time. And last night brought white out conditions on the way […]

heat day 2012
It was 55° in the house this morning and the temps are scheduled to drop further this week so we figured it was time to bust out the heat. Based on last year’s post it looks like we made it one day further than last, although whereas today simply ushered in the first day of […]

crosswalking
People, if I catch you mashing the walk button and then venturing out in to the road before this happens, I am now going to start honking my horn and yelling at you in order to set your self absorbed ass straight. How many hours of my life have been wasted sitting at red lights […]

winter wheels
I don’t know if I mentioned this but the tires that came on my car are powerfully bad in the winter. Thank goodness we had a mild winter last year or I certainly would have wrapped myself around a(nother) tree, and that was on relatively brand new rubber. I’ve never before even considered winter tires, […]

I completed what was probably my last apres-work ride of the season this past week. By the time I was back in the parking lot the stars were out and the moon was high. So I decided to transition to running (blech). There is a beautiful network of trails between campus and the river called […]

the iOS 6 map app sucks a lot
I wanted to find Haldman on campus the day after I updated my phone. Apple Map; Uh…. Then I quickly downloaded Google’s Map App; Ahhhhhhh, relief. Apple’s new native iPhone map app is atrocious. Please don’t defend it by telling me how crazy it is that I hold as much power in my hand as […]

the new face of obesity
I had to go back to the doctor on Wednesday so that my new clinic could get a baseline physical for me. It was fine, and I was also looking forward to finding out why after three weeks I still wasn’t feeling better. We got that all squared away and then the comedy began. The […]

Time to blow the cobwebs out this piece! Starting about 2.5 weeks ago I came down with a nasty flu. Fortunately there was no vomiting, but I had the fevers, aches, crazy cough, and the cloudy head. It took a solid 10 days to get back to the point where I was remotely capable of […]

international aid
I just impromptu Skyped with one of our users in Isreal. He sent an email and was like, now is good, and within 2 minutes I was looking at his face and we were making it happen. He shared his screen and I guided him around the web interface to victory. I’m no stranger to […]

hooked up
I just wanted to bring some closure to the great generator colloquium. Well, sort of closure because we haven’t actually used it yet – but it’s ready when we do. After much agitated thought over which solution to choose, we finally purchased a portable unit capable of keeping the house more or less running in […]
