This holidays in Los Angeles was quite nice. I got back on track with work (but am still behind), I celebrated both my parent’s birthdays, which is a blessing. XMAS Eve I was invited over to Pat’s annual xmas bash, which this year became bash on Pat for his mining in World of Warcraft haha.… Continue reading Headed home tonight!

So between the new zboard keyboard Matt got me, the pillow I bought, the 18″ robot mom got me, I was gonna have to ship a box home. Rather than give the post office $30, I went shopping with Matt for a large suitcase. I saw one at Disney when I was there with Laurie… Continue reading XMAS for me!

I’ve been under a lot of stress lately, work, health, etc and I’ve come to realize that my sleep, or the lack of it has been affecting me greatly. So I’m at my parents and have a normal pillow, and I woke up with yet another neck ache. Stress throughout the upper body, etc. Even… Continue reading Tempur-pedic pillow

So the wonderful people here passed the anti-gay marriage amendment. Way to go, hate mongers. I read that most are religious and yes, I was raised christian, but to keep people apart, in a county where we are supposed to have separation of church and state is just based on fear and hate. Otherwise, why… Continue reading Oregonians embarass me

I got a new lens for my camera to take some pictures of Mt. St. Helens during this recent event. I missed the explosion by an hour, dammit, but it was still cool to be there and witness the enormity of the mountain and how much devastation it caused in 1980. Mount St. Helens Pictures

Lucas has done it again. With the much anticipated release of the original Star Wars trilogy, he just could not leave classics alone. No, he had to fuck with them. Who wants to see WHINEY Hayden Christensen??? My god! And he completely replaced the Emperor! And Han and Greedo fire at the same time? What… Continue reading George Lucas is a dumbass

My everquest account was cancelled today. While i had not played in over a year, in the previous 5 years I spent far too much of my free time playing that game. Never a hard core gamer, Furyan never made it past 59 nor got his holy Steed, but he had a wonderful time making… Continue reading So long, Furyan, you served me well, and sucked my life away

This is so cool. I picked up some Office Depot canvas inkjet paper and printed out the TIFF scan of my Haunted Mansion sketch. It came out incredible! I’m going to mount it in a frame with two other art pieces of mine that i have yet to create. I bought it with glass, but… Continue reading Canvas inkjet paper

I’ve added a permalink to Maggie’s wonderful Katie Galaxy comic strip. Maggie is one of the most insightful, outspoken, caring, loving people you could meet – Toss her some props for the amazing work she is doing as an amateur artist!

My Mirra has arrived 🙂 It has everything but the forward tilt, which I did not realize was on option (and not even available from Design Within Reach) but the chair is still awesome 🙂 Mirra One Mirra Two

Well with all of the crappy customer service I have had this week, I ordered an upgrade to my phone valet which will let me record my calls. I don’t need the voice mail system, I don’t think, but I will start recording my calls and logging employee numbers from now on, just to get… Continue reading Phone Valet Messaging Center

After the Office Depot mess, Fed Ex, which had an estimated shipping date of today, stood me up. Well, it could come up until 9. Wait, but they didn’t have the data that it arrived in portland at 4:09pm until hmm 5pm. So the people all say long saying it was “in route” even tho… Continue reading Bad shipping karma week

I want a larger chair mat for my work area, as I move between three machines and the one i got at office depot, while nice, is too small. Nobody carries larger mats that I can find, so I ordered one from Office Depot online. It ships and the site says it will be delivered… Continue reading Office Dorko

Well the last cavity is filled and I have a brand spanking new gold crown, or they say I do. It is way back there 🙂 Ugh, I hope this is the last of the drilling for this year!

I decided to finally buy and upgrade to MovableType 3.0 today. That lead me into the hell of the tool I was using to manage all of my pages with templates and decided to ditch it once and for all. On a stroke of luck, I found that BBEdit supports includes, so now my entire… Continue reading Web site clean up with BBEdit

Went to coffee and dinner with Katie, a woman I met on craigslist. What a fascinating person. Really deep thinker, bright spirit, giving and positive. I think we’re going to make good friends. Ordered my new office chair today, a Herman Miller Mirra chair. Wow it is so comfortable. I liked it much more than… Continue reading Personal update

Carolyn popped into town this weekend on last minutes notice. I wasn’t sure how I would handle that, but it went swimmingly well. We went to the rose garden, I took her to Reo’s, we watched Network (amazing) and then were up until 3:30 figuring out where we went wrong and why we go wrong.… Continue reading Growing up

I had never heard of siping your tires until I was forced into a new set last week when one decided to go bye bye. I read the pamphlet, it made sense, and the tires are quiet and they worked well in the rain on 101. Others can explain it better, but if you drive… Continue reading Siping your tires

More registered Democrats will see Fahrenheit 9/11 than will vote at the polls.

Trip to Victoria was great! TK4 is in full swing now. I have an accountant and QuickBooks, might even become an S-Corp. I’ve been busy learning new technologies, such as Tweak. The PMUG general meeting last night was a blast I saw sweethaven from IRC and met a bunch of nice people, answered questions, had… Continue reading Quick Update
