Hoboes
I mentioned a while back how much I like the work of Adam Koford, but that was before I’d seen his entries for the 700 Hoboes Project. There’s a ton of really clever entries in there. What impresses me the most is how he used the project as an excuse to experiment. He’s a kick-ass…
body { look-like: ass; }
Much like an invasion of Iraq, redesigning the theme for my website always sounds like a good idea at first. It’s only after hours of horror and a mounting death toll that I realize what a mistake I’ve made. Unlike the current administration, though, I know when to pull out. Insert usual spiel here: it…
I could watch “Heroes” for just one day
Entertainment Weekly just ran an article about Rosario Dawson in which Kevin Smith calls her a “hot geek.”. Which to me is like saying “compassionate conservative;” it just doesn’t exist. The terms are mutually exclusive. For those of us who were nerds back when being a nerd meant something (mostly it meant rejection and shame),…
Feels Like Home
Leaving your family to fend for themselves during a major illness sucks. Waiting in line 45 minutes just to get through airport security sucks. A two-hour layover at Washington Dulles sucks. An hour-long flight delay sucks. Waiting 30 minutes for your baggage only to find that it’d arrived on an earlier flight and had been…
To the Moon!
Not only is the honeymoon over, but I think a trial separation is in order. The fan on my MacBook Pro is making grinding and clicking noises that get gradually louder, culminating in an ear-splitting crescendo about 20 minutes after boot-up. The thing has run ungodly hot ever since I got it, but what with…
A Funny Thing Happened in my Pants
I finally started to dig through all the shaky video I took at Disney World, finally taking advantage of all the iMovie and iDVD and iWhateverElse I’ve been paying for with every OS X update. It’s reasonably fun, but it sure takes a hell of a lot of time. And I’ve learned it’s crucial to…
The Honeymoon’s Over
I remember when a new announcement from Apple would have me visibly excited and reaching for my wallet. I even waited around today for Pacific Time to catch up so I could see what all the hoopla was about. And the experience was like when you have to go see that distant cousin who’s a…
Hoist up the John B sails
I finally got back to Georgia from Orlando on Friday night. Even after a month and a half in Orlando and being very ready to leave, it still ended kind of abruptly. It would’ve even been nice to have one more day there as a non-working guest, instead of just one minute being at Epcot…
