I completely forgot to shave today! Just walked out the door and didn’t realize it til I was rubbing my chin just a minute or two from work. And I had a meeting with a client company trying to sell us some technology. I swear, I would walk out without my head on if it […]

Well, let’s see what’s happened of late. Ian went to visit his family this weekend and help his brother move into a new apartment. I stayed here.
Vic and Jon came over and we had a game night, trying out a new game that came recommended from my co-worker Jason. I have to admit, we were […]

Or, one person’s old junk is another’s treasure! Ian’s had the idea for a while now to put some sort of architectural element in our bedroom: wrought iron, part of an old wooden door frame, a small stone facade, etc. He went and looked up a bunch of “architectural salvage” stores and we set out.

Very cool video listing well known people who are atheists along with some interesting statistics.  Makes me feel good to know I’m in such good company.

Well, I’ve had these caterpillars eating my curly parsley now for a while. I would have killed them previously, but since seeing the butterfly exhibit in Key West I’ve decided to let them grow and hopefully turn into butterflies.

LiveScience.com - It Has Come to This: Computer Orders Restaurant Workers Around
Kind of creepy, especially because someone just wrote a science fiction story recently about this and now it’s come to pass. This computer monitors activity at a restaurant and optimizes who’s working, when, and what their tasks are. The computer instructs the workers when […]

YES.com
Borrowed from Dana at Apophenia, this is a very cool visualisation on the site’s home page. They have all the playlist information for radio stations across America, and the map pops up song titles as they start playing, from the point on the map where the radio station playing it is located. Very cool data […]

Just finished The Game. Need to edit now. But, it’s up on my site if you’re interested. It’s an exploration of the division between war and games, when technology makes war so abstract we lose sight of what it is we’re fighting for.

Been watching a few movies lately. First off at the theatre we caught The Night Listener at the Angelika with Chris and James. It’s based off a story by Armistead Maupin. It was a little slow, and didn’t get as dramatic as it would have liked to, but it was still an enjoyable tale. I’d […]
