All day today, I’ve been practicing my talk and Liz has been doing homework. Around 3PM, we decided to take advantage of the nice day… and at the very least, step outside for a brief walk around the neighborhood. We got some coffee, and wandered around a bit. We stopped by the Bunny House, but…
All my slides are officially submitted for my Pecha Kucha talk, and the main event is now only a few days away. Moved my iMac out into the living room today, to plug it in to the television. I’ve got my slides set up through Keynote (the same way it’ll be set up at the…
This is one of the more interesting implementations of Facebook Connect that I’ve seen. Check out The Prototype Experience, a nice site for an upcoming video game that does a slick job blurring the lines between fiction and reality. Give it a whirl. [via Twelvestone]
I’m so excited to be posting this today! I’ve been sitting on this file for nearly a week now, and it’s been killing me. Get ready for a treat, because this particular post has been about 3+ years in the making. A little backstory, first. Where the Girl Scouts have their fundraising Cookies, the Boy…
Losing early in poker last night actually gave me a bit of luck on the train. On the way home I happened to run into Rachelle, right as we were both getting off at California. Rachelle’s site is a blog I’ve followed now for almost five years now. Wow – just looked that up, and…
Since Kevin was in town again, we all gathered for another round of Texas Holdem (and to determine whether he would continue to be the holder of The Lord and Master Stein). This time around, there were less people… and so we didn’t have to split into two groups. This made things a bit slower,…

God Bless the Internet… ——— Hello all you random people who’ve come here via a Google search!

I came across Wee See yestercay, via swissmiss, and found it absolutely mesmerizing. And truth be told, it even got me a little sleepy. Here’s a quick blurb from the site: “Part art installation, part pacifier, Wee See is a collection of black-and-white animations built from basic shapes to delight both child and parent. As…
Have any idea who this man might be? Allison recently developed some old film, and this image was from a roll still inside an old Lubitel camera purchased off of eBay circa 2000. Check out her Mystery Film Set on Flickr for more images/details. And if you have any clues or hints, drop her a…
My friend Chris (who I know better as The_Spectre on Twelvestone) runs a blog called Approaching Theta. He recently made a post about old commercials that you should definitely check out. In particular I think that you, like me, will be surprised to see Jason Alexander singing, dancing, and pimping for McDonald’s “new” McDLT sandwich….
Yesterday, Liz made a recipe for German Pancakes. And it was a little slice of heaven. She was working off an old cookbook that she had gotten from her mom. This particular cookbook was printed somewhere around 1988 or so. The pancake, a little poofy, but fresh from the oven. Liz had her half with…
Today is Memorial Day. I was thinking about war, and the people who go through it. Though it’s not specifically focused on America, I find myself thinking a lot about Robert Bly’s poem the Russian. Memorial Day makes me think of the United States, and the people who willingly risk their lives for the freedoms…
On our way out, we offered up some scooter rides… and TJ, Erin and Justin were all interested. Erin, preparing to take off down the street… TJ, giving Liz’s Vino a test drive. Liz showing Josh (?) where the gas and brakes are. It was fun to see folks zip around on the scooters, and…
After the church service, we had a pretty busy day. Driving back, we had two cookouts to attend to. We loaded up our scooters with some chairs, and drove up to Andersonville to hang out with Jake and Jessy. Suzannah and Jessie (holding her sister’s dog, Lilly). Jake in back, cooking up a storm. And…
This Sunday, we woke up early to attend a church service for Memorial Day. Liz and Bob were part of a band that was performing at Christian Hills church in Orland Hills. Appropriately, a large flag was flying right outside the front doors. Bob, playing drums with the band… … and Liz, playing flute. One…
