aftermath
Amy and I decided to spend the day driving around Vermont since open-moonroof weather decided to suddenly grace us. Got a bit of a sunburn. 🙂 Actually, I did my 15k oil change first thing, and then we headed out. There wasn’t much of a plan, other than to head west, and we did a […]

I started hearing this song on one of my Pandora channels from time to time and decided I wanted to be able to listen to it, and more of Paul Desmond’s music, whenever I wanted. For some reason I could only find the track on a super expensive discontinued record of his, and then suddenly […]

Behold, CSS animation! Eh? Eh? Unless you’re running Internets Explorer. Then you can’t see this.

day one
Kicked things off at the Big D today! Ben’s first day; At my father-in-law’s suggestion I had meant to pick up an apple for teacher but I just didn’t have time this morning. I left early but people were driving slowly in the ‘bad weather’. Today was your usual stuff – got my office, ID, […]

wrc 2012
WRC 2012 is about to begin this weekend. The teams have been testing in the Alpine hills near Monte Carlo and I was watching some videos this evening. Here’s some test footage from perennial champion, Sebastien Loeb. Each team seemed to have a stretch of road they hammered all day to iron out the kinks. […]

Amy can attest to the brooding I engage in when I don’t have my window seat. Having a 180° view of everything in front of the plane would be a dream come true. I wish they had cameras on the plane exterior that would allow passengers to see more stuff. I’d fly that airline exclusively, […]

Whew. It’s been killing me to keep mum about this, but it’s finally become official. I haven’t been terribly open about work in this space. As much as this is sort of a private space, in the sense that 99% of the people I know don’t actively or even passively read this, it’s also unwise […]

not so fluid yet
The money train continues! My folks were kind enough to pick me up a more stable tripod this Christmas. The first tripod I purchased was aimed at lightness of weight and fleetness of foot as we planned our trip to Alaska and beyond. Of course I immediately threw on the heaviest geared head you can […]

powerful decisions
Many of you know that I’ve been doing my typical fence sitting vis-a-vis the generator debate. Well, I done decided. Behold, the B&S 5500 Storm Responder! That Home Depot link isn’t exactly the model that I picked up. It’s not on the site for some reason, but the specs seem to be mostly the same […]

for generations
Man, I’m deep in the generator debate again. We lost power over the weekend for a solid 8 hours. Was it snowing or stormy outside? Nope. Was it sunny and beautiful outside? Yup. Well, sunny and beautiful but also cold. Not cold enough to freeze pipes, but chilly inside. Then you gotta burn extra fuel […]
