Sunday I was wandering around Pike Place Market and wound up in the paper store. I was flipping through their racks of LIFE magazine and was fascinated by the headlines/covers of the issues from the 60s. There were several issues about space, Vietnam, McNamera, Nixon, and Johnson. It’s one thing to read so much about […]

I just dug my old Dell desktop out of the closet to see if there’s anything on it I want to keep before tossing it. Looks like it was last fired up in September 2006 and I was in ham mode, messing with MixW. It’s running Windows 2000, Firefox 1.5.0.7, QuickTime 7.0.4, Yahoo! Messenger 7.0.0.120, […]

I have a new kitty in the family, 2 months old. His shelter name is Shaun, but I’m not sure if I’m keeping that. (Update 9/17: I’m calling him Felix) He’s very vocal, spent all night meowing like murder was happening. He’s a little better today, but still gets very lonely. I laid in the […]

Last month I finally decided to re-join the modern age and get cable. I’ve been waiting for FiOS from Frontier ever since I moved in, and my apartment building was finally wired up for it. I was flabbergasted when they told me the install charge for TV+internet over FiOS was $500, but if I just […]

This weekend it was 86-88 F outside (and inside), perfectly clear and sunny. Absolutely beautiful day, I felt fantastic! Seriously, I haven’t felt that happy and blissful in a while. Clear, warm night too, could see the stars from my balcony. Today, it instantly turned .. October. Low hanging grey clouds, and everything is wet. […]

It’s awesome to sit on my balcony and be able to easily see the Big Dipper.

While reading the chapter Witty Ticcy Ray about Tourette’s in Oliver Sacks’ book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, I discovered an amazing list of things I didn’t know: Tourette was a student of Jean-Martin Charcot, the founder of modern neurology Freud was also a student of Charcot Freud named one of […]

On vacation this week in the Bay Area! Weather is FANTASTIC. I had to travel 320 miles south on the 5 before I reached clear skies on Monday. I realized on the way down that I had forgotten what Northern California looked like during the day. The last two times I came down (this year), […]

The rush of scale is often a potent and lethal addiction, for production engineering is a drug. I always thought the Dyson ball was a gimmicky thing, but it’s totally legit. It’s so much easier to maneuver than a big clunky vacuum. It’s also quieter than my clunker, but the cat still hates it. The […]
