Dear Home Depot
I feel like I should have gotten a little something, for hustling your Home Depot credit card in another language. I’m not asking much. Maybe one of those stylish orange aprons.

Dang
I was about to buy my camera tonight. But after calling my credit card company (I wanted to let them know about the purchase, since I haven’t used it in a while), I wasn’t able to answer one of their questions (regarding a bill discrepancy from a while back). Since I haven’t used the card…
Spooks
This is a great interactive game, part of a series that’s on BBC. This thing won a Favourite Website Award, which goes to prove that a small, well-made bit of multimedia can compete with a full-blown fancy-smancy site.
Lost in Translation: Home Depot Edition
So I went back to Home Depot today, to look for some tubes of sealant. I wanted to patch up all the cracks and drafts in my windows, prior to throwing on the saran wrap. There was a temporary/removeable brand that I used before and, unable to find it on my own… I decided to…
The Daily Apple
My friend Juliet has started up her own site: The Daily Apple. She’s an excellent writer, to saying nothing of her humor and her observational skills. Despite the fact that I have my own blog, I don’t really keep up with other people’s blogs. I simply can’t be bothered; there are a few that I…
Art Making Progress
Ben’s been keeping track of his progress lately, on his latest piece. A cool thing to watch, as the piece unfolds bit by bit. Definitely check out the video he made last week.
The 278th Leaving Home
Check out what Dipti’s been up to, working as an online producer… shooting video, working in Premiere, working with HTML and Flash. Who knew she was such a nerd? Great stuff here. And on top of all of this, Dipti takes a mean photograph. Keep an eye out for her name.

As an FYI: Felix is at 12480.
Doom Funnel Chasers
Firing a ball of duct tape into a Doom Funnel has never been this much fun!
Meh
Did a lot of reading this afternoon, which was fun. Because of last night, my whole day has had this staggered-start going on. Watched a fair amount of PBS. And ended up breaking out the first Dark Tower book and reading it absently, off and on. A very indulgent afternoon. Maybe tomorrow will be the…
Momma Fox, Poppa Fox
I got to call up the Foxes tonight, and chatted with the two of them. Alice Fox was born last week on November 24th. Welcome, Alice! You’re going to have a great time here.
Apartment Cleaning
I got home around 4AM this morning. Promptly fell aspee. I’ve been meaning to use this weekend as a time to clean up the apartment. It’s gotten pretty bad over the past few weeks, and I wanted to tidy up the place. I’m proud to say that all day today, I’ve thought a lot about…
Happy Birthday Chelsea
Ended up at The Green Eye (a small little bar near the Western Blue Line stop. Met some interesting folks, and didn’t feel uncomfortable by not knowing folks. All of the new people I met were very friendly and open, and I fell easily into conversation with almost everyone. I got to see Matt again,…
Dirty Found
The night I attended the Found party, Jason ended up adding my name to the Found Dirty Picture Club: an email list that sent out the occasional found dirty picture. Over the years, it turns out that a certain number of the submissions to Found have been a bit “risque” in nature. And so the…
Found Magazine: Backstory
For those not familiar with Found Magazine, I highly recommend checking out their website. It’s a great collection of found objects: letters, photographs, notes, you name it. And it’s all submitted by people who stumble across these things, day to day. What’s so incredible about a lot of these found objects is that you can…
