Coming back from Tahoe last night, I had a “slow re-entry” (thanks nancy for the amazing metaphor) into my super crowded lifestyle. On vacation it was: wake up by 10am to hit the breakfast buffet, and minor worries about getting to the Summit Station 2 km away for more skiing. Now, I have to pack [...]
I’m cleaning out my study - it’s a month-long project, and I came across this drawing I did of a landcape plan for my parents’ yard. This is a detail of a front view of the left-side corner. At the time I did the plan, it was dirt. Now:
My mom had hired two contractors to [...]
Before I traveled for work for 5 years, I used to be pretty shy. Well it was more like going from 5mph to 100mph. Some obnoxious theater personality would kick in- I mean, I wasn’t afraid of being on stage or on a mic, but I had no middle ground. I had my good friends, [...]
I’m not kidding, I’m really not. Seriously. You think I am, but I’m not. No, I’m not. I did this list once that was famous because it was organized by children’s grades. nobody Did that, like, nobody. Woo hoo!
I found it and had that kind of little “aw” moment- I was vanity searching and finally [...]
I have a minor fetish with mail lately- postage, the process of mail, etc. It’s out of a Millhauser book. Large, ornate, working process that runs smoothly enough to be functional. Neat that some businesses hinge on it, like NetFlix, for example. So coupla thoughts on Mail:
Thanks to coworker in Portland, who dug these nuggets [...]
A friend of mine recently had a cranial surgery. In a dream last night, I met him, and we hugged, and I noticed he had a different personality. Kind of carefree and happy. He’s usually happy when he sees me, but this was one of those overall personality shifts that you can sense when you [...]
First, random thing, I got to show my 9 yr old niece this video:
I know it’s been out forever, but still. It’s great.
So one benefit of a 9-yr-old’s party is hanging out with her cousin’s parents, who are: a filmmaker, and a book editor. So we’re having a lively conversation about one of the discoveries [...]
Long rambly bit about how I had too many things to do last night, knew I should go to the gym, but just on the offchance, dropped my friend Kathy a note about what she was doing, and she was like- “That’s funny I was going to as YOU.” So gym was out- slothing at [...]
(in a blogpost, how postmodern…)
The reason I have not done my daily little bloggorhea is that lately I’m full of things I shouldn’t write about.
- investigative articles that are in progress, involving the police, and eBay. Tantalizing, isn’t it!
- annoying people who email me
- men who annoy me, namely the ones that don’t believe there [...]
SuperHappyDevHouse15, shdh15, in Monte Sereno (formerly written: Los Gatos, so wrong! So wrong!). I spent a large part of the time at Super Happy Dev House talking to my mom via chat. Because she is my main “user” and knows the data really well, so I had to get all of the specs from her. [...]
