Lots and lots of things are different since the last time I updated, back in November. I’ve left my old job at The Startup and started at a new one. Without going into any detail, there just wasn’t room there for what I wanted to be doing, and not a lot of hope given that…

So, then that happened. I’ve shaved it off now, but that mustache just wasn’t a pretty thing.  If you’d like to donate money to help find a cure for cancer (and quite a few of you already have, and thanks very very much for that), please do so at this page. My dad’s coming back from…

Lazy Sunday. Hung around. Played with some DJ software with Ripley (couple of nice little mashups, actually.) Watching Hitchcock’s “The Birds” now, and enjoying it quite a bit. I think thatold guy knew a thing or two about filming, y’know? You can see birds (crows) like that every day in the evenings. They commute here…

Had some friends over tonight for Deb’s going away party.  Was nice to see some folks that I hadn’t seen in a long time.  Got to see some excellent bellydancing, complete with TWO swords on her head.  In our living room.  That’s right.  Swords.  Living room.  Zills, too.  Shing-chicka-sheeng. More sugar that I can safely…

Employee Of the Month was not the movie we were thinking of, nor was it a comedy, but it was… uh… entertaining.  We were thinking of the 2006 version http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424993/ but what we watched was released in 2004 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362590/) Much darker.  Oddly and suddenly.  Found ourselves going “pff what?” quite a bit.  Couldn’t tell if…

Once again, got nothing to say, but just bumbling along into Friday.  Been fighting something all week.  Took last Friday off to fend it off, but didn’t work, or at least, it didn’t work completely. Yep.  Nope.  Got nothing. When I sneeze really hard, sometimes I smell honey.  Does this mean I have bees in…

This one’s quick, ’cause I just got home from rebooting everything after a scheduled power outage. Today was weird. I had an old button pushed by something today, and I had to walk it off. Arwen’s watching weird movies on NetFlix (like, awesome from-the-other-room “what the hell are you watching?” movies). Supposed to rain tomorrow,…

Still stupid cold out there.  The back yard is frozen solid.  This is not normal at all for here.  Kinda freaky, actually.  So not used to it.  The grass was shattering as I walked on it to take out the garbage.  I’m pretty sure it’s my fault for buying a bike.  Sorta like washing your…
