a new contender
In semi-Japan related news, I’ve ordered a new car from said country. It’s been three years but it seems like I haven’t really had the BMW for long and now it’s time to say goodbye. I brought the car in for inspection last month and my mechanic called up and said that if there was […]

months, maybe weeks
I rolled down my window and spoke with a Fairpoint worker on my way home yesterday. She was parked in my neighbor’s driveway, which made me very excited. I said, excuse me miss, you must get this question a lot but… when can we has internetz? Weeks, months, years? She responded diplomatically and said she […]

Hey, it’s my birfday next month. I know you’ve been struggling to find me that perfect gift. Let me show you something!

goes poof
I’d seen this before online, and even tried it last year at work. I think it either wasn’t cold enough outside or my water wasn’t warm enough but it failed. Not this morning. I wish I could have done this all morning but we were freezing and in a hurry to get to work. It […]

70-200 snow shoe
The January Thaw came early in the first week of January which hobbled the Christmas accumulation a bit, but we’ve recovered nicely since then. Enough to make getting out a really enjoyable experience. By no means are we setting the snow shoeing world on fire, but we’ve had a decent go so far starting on […]

We celebrated Amy’s 34th last night with an incredibly dense flour-less chocolate cake and roman candles. Sickeningly Delicious. We’re headed to Rabbit Hill next weekend to make everything official. Sufjan Stevens – The Dress Looks Nice on You

While we’re on the subject of natural disasters – you may have heard that The Dirty Souf has been devastated by as many as two whole inches of snow since the weekend. Turns out, bringing a city to a halt isn’t all bad. And it’s funny to those of us who live under the constant […]

floating away
Flooding in Queensland. A few things; I believe the man in the white truck was locking his front hubs for a hot, hot 4 wheel drive escape, and not letting air out of his tires. Extra bonus points for having a snorkel installed. I love the gasping. The black WRX at 2:00 is a tragedy.

fight spam with maths
As I’ve mentioned, 99.762% of received commentary on this site is spam. We’re rolling deep with the Askimets, which deals with most of it, but I thought I’d kick it up a notch and simply avoid it being posted in the first place. Also, I expect the site is about to blow up at any […]

all fits
The lens arrived unexpectedly yesterday so I only had a chance to tinker briefly with it last night. So far my impression is that it’s very well constructed, the actions are very smooth for a still lens, and the IS makes a very noticeable difference when trying to keep it steady. So I brought the […]
