Well, hello there. Been a while. Lots has happened. Government changeovers. Births and deaths. Lost and found. Boundaries and aviaries collide and combine to the wave and clack of previously broken beats. We lost our gods but continue to pray. Swapped our clouds for security, our mountains for data mines, and our friend circles for social…
A long time ago, I made music.
Might do it again some time soon.
Posting from my phone.
Cause that’s what little dudes do. Vancouver has been stupidly hot, these last two months. Seriously, deeply, depressingly hot. I’m oh, so very glad I generally work in an air-conditioned environment, or I’d be even more distracted and prone to staring off into space than usual. Warped the heck outta my front tire a week…
Windows Application Automation 101
Wrote this up today for someone, and decided to clean this up a little and drop it here, since the few technical articles I post seem to get a lot of hits (compared to the rest of the blog). MSI (The Easy Way)  In the case of MSI, this will almost always be your…
Namo’12_11_07: Wait, go back, you’re WHO?
Had this conversation with a server at work today: Who is it? I’m your husband, Bob, a human being that lives here. Never heard of you. Uh, but I live here. See? These are my keys. They don’t work though. Nope, you don’t exist. There’s a class of things called humans, but not the group…
Namo’12_11_01: Those Aren’t Dust Bunnies, They’re Dust BEARS.
Hi. Been eleven months. Any of you still out there? I occasionally post on Twitter now, and maybe post a little more often on Facebook, but mostly I just. I just what? I work. I cycle. I sleep. I surf. I make stupid jokes at my lovely wife, the doula/writer/teacher/mom, and watch my kids get…
NaBloPoM’Over: Day 30
As the years go on, I’m sad to say that I think Bono is looking more and more like Robin Williams. Had my Dr’s appointment today, and we talked about the Xray, and while they didn’t say “there’s nothing” they DID say “the not-nothing is probably nothing,” so I’m thinking that there’s nothing to worry…
NaBloPoMo: Day 29
Just watched Betty White’s interview on The Daily Show and I think I’m probably not the first to come up with this, but I think Phoebe from Friends is a direct scriptwriting descendant from Betty White’s Rose from Golden Girls, who was, I suspect, based on Georgette from Mary Tyler Moore. I wonder if that…
NaBloPoMo: Day 28
Dropped the ball last night. Wasn’t even that I didn’t have anything to say. I got into bed around 11:45, and was reading my book (the new Stephen King – pretty good, but it’s making me tense with the timeline stuff in a way that Connie Willis has repeatedly NOT done) and did a facepalm…
NaBloPoMo: Day 26
Woke up early today. Maybe early for me, at least. 6:55 and I was snapped out of a dream in which I was trying to get myself on transit to go somewhere, and was being carried by a throng of people in a way that my Aunt once described from when she was at a…
