Valentine’s day: I was at the Target Center in Minneapolis for a Timberwolves game against the slumping Seattle Supersonics. We got better-than-usual seats in a package deal that included a $30 gift card to a fancy pretend-italian restaurant whose chef must have just moved up from Denny’s or Perkins.
We sat right above the tunnel where [...]
Do what SportsIllustrated.com does; insert a loud, annoying streaming ad down at the bottom of the page (under the fold), and have it autoplay, so that when it starts, it’s impossible to figure why or how your computer is blasting noise.
Then, just for kicks, make it play on every page of the site, even if [...]
Got bored yesterday watching a rerun of Desperate Housewives and decided to take my own advice and make my own clothes. Here’s a shirt I’m buying (and building) at Spreadshirt, because I’d actually want to wear it.
And hey, if I can wear it, maybe you want to wear it too. So here you go (click [...]
Photos from my recent trip to Argentina are up in all their unedited glory. My belly is full of 15 days of steak and vino tinto. Next time you go to the liquor store, pick up a good Argentine Malbec and see what you think.

That means I have to move lots of files and databases to a new server. So posting may be light for a few days while I get [...]
Sadly, I can’t muster the concentration required for a cogent post this evening. I could set the alarm an hour earlier for tomorrow, but unless I stumble upon some really interesting election coverage, let’s face it, you’re not going to be interested.
Besides the election (which happily seems to be floating along quite non-violently), nothing [...]
My mom never handed out Halloween candy. It was against her principles. Or something. Not a religious thing; she just hated Halloween. She hated everything about it; the dressing up, the skulls, the witches.
In her mind, Halloween was a celebration of evil and death (and of evil death). It was not something she’d grown up [...]
Just links today… hmmm, where to start?
Well, it is, as you know, Halloween weekend, which, judging by the elevated hype and hysteria, has been promoted to national holiday status. If that’s the case, you might as well have some good Halloween music to go along with it. And a candy corn flag.
Somehow it seems fitting [...]
