Flickr moblogs & CSS

Between bouts of late-night work, wedding planning, and sickness, I haven’t had time for much fun stuff lately. But I started helping Lanya with her new site tonight and we added some Flickr photos. I figured it was time to do the same on my site, so now I’ve got my moblogs in [...]

An end(?) to the saga

Today we return to the house with a new hardwood floor in the bedroom, replacing the warped laminate one. Hopefully that chapter in our lives is over.
After a long holiday weekend in Connecticut, including meeting with and choosing our officiant for the wedding (a reverend whom we’re really excited about), and actual New [...]

Morning humor

Sometimes you need a good chuckle in the morning. Mazzi sent me these two pics today and both made me laugh out loud, the first because just this morning I got messaged by those stupid AIM bots, and the second because it reminded me of a picture (which I can’t seem to find right [...]

From one fan to another

With all the stuff that’s been happening lately, I’m definitely lagging behind in the things I’d like to blog about, but I feel that it would be a sin to leave out one thing that’s happened lately that leaves us absolutely scratching our heads.

More to come once things get settled a bit [...]

Floods are draining

So the whole past day has been pretty intense… we awoke before 7am to a puddles in our bedroom and have been going non-stop since then. I spent the first three hours of the day standing in the pouring rain sweeping water across a tarp with a broom. Thank you thank you thank [...]

Seeking advice…

Mostly Miscellany

A number of things have been going on, but for some reason I’m inspired to write about a few key issues ranging from superficial to compelling. Read on if you want a hodgepodge.
Hide the WHAT?!?
Howard Dean, on executive privilege:
MATTHEWS: Do you believe that the president can claim executive privilege?
DEAN: Well, [...]

Still happy

I’m still definitely happy with our Speakeasy service for DSL and VoIP. I’m looking into possibly setting up a little server at home again and using them for secondary DNS, but that will have to wait until I have some extra geek time. But I wanted to relate a customer service experience that [...]
