tread
I’ve had the DIY treadmill desk for almost four weeks now. A few days ago, the Internet called me up and asked “How it going?” Well, Internet, let me tell you: it’s going. It’s interesting. I’d highly recommend it. But. Some warnings: it’s still not entirely natural, even after a month. I have to devote a [...]
cute
Me: How do I look? Him: Cute! Me: Excellent. Just what every girl wants to hear. Him: Also that they’re special and unique and beautiful and you’ve never met any woman like them. They all want to hear that, too. Me: You’re lucky I like you. Him: I know. Only somebody as unique as you [...]
credibility
There’s a fabulous story making the rounds of the Internerd about the Gulf disaster. This one is positing a “world-killing” event that might be brewing, as a result of the release of billions of gallons of oil from the BP well over a period of months, oil that took millions of years to originally deposit. The [...]
nature!
We live five blocks from Queen Elizabeth Park, so tonight we took a stroll up there. It was lovely. I had no idea there was such an incredible view from the top of the hill. Also, did you know that there’s a triodetic dome stuffed full of exotic birds and flowers and all sorts of [...]

For example: David Boreanz on Angel Nicolas Brendon on Buffy the Vampire Slayer Jonathan Frakes on Star Trek: The Next Generation Matthew [...]
early afternoon
A friend recently asked me how I named my business. Well. So. The name I ended up with? Was not the name I wanted. Domain squatters are assholes. The quest: I needed a name to make me sound, you know, business-ey; I didn’t want something cutsey or punny, or especially nerdy. It had to be [...]
moving
Hey, I moved in April. To BC! Never did write a post about it. The less said the better, really: moving is a miserable and expensive experience that, frankly, sucks. Ugh. However, I wanted to tell the Internet so that it knows how it is out there, for all those people contemplating a cross-Canada move. [...]

I had a big long post about my treadmill experiences written, honestly I did. And I’ll still put it up, eventually. But for now, in keeping with the 140 word challenge, I wanted to give you a short update on how it’s going: it’s going good. I like it. I’m walking; I’m fitter. HOWEVER. I [...]

PSA
This is a public service announcement: please do not hack Drupal core. It’s like sawing off a unicorn’s horn to test for poison. SO draconian! SO unnecessary! My friends: keep the unicorn alive! It will willingly dip its horn into your drinks; you just have to ask. And it will even (eventually) have baby unicorns, [...]
