I’ve gotten word that my new layout is breaking up in certain browsers. If you have any trouble, please let me know. Here’s a picture of what it’s supposed to look like. So anyway, expect tweaks and twiddles over the next few days/weeks.
Last night on the way home from the grocery store, Julien informed us […]

Congratulations to my very cool buddy Andy and the immeasurably lovely Angela. Yesterday in Seattle, they got hitched! Yeeeehaw! Now the real fun begins.

Ari and I are back into our regular weekend routine of renting a movie. It’s a nice way to pass a boring Saturday night in Parentown. You’ll remember we saw Wonder Boys a few weeks back (still working on Mysteries of Pittsburgh, by the way–I’ve been distracted lately by tree felling and drought/heat crippled grass). […]

I was sitting at the computer a couple days ago when Ari came in and saw that I was working on a new design. Being the professional smartass that she is, she says, “Oh, has it been a month already?”

Yesterday, after working some more on the redesign, I walk into the living room […]

Beeeep beeeep beeeep beeeep …
My alarm clock went off at 6:30 am. More asleep than awake, I hit snooze. A minute later, Ari’s alarm clock went off.

The morning duo, Kevin and Kevin, […]

At the recommendation of my buddy, Andy, who lives in the above-ground ocean known as Seattle, I picked up a Michael Chabon novel yesterday (the movie that I oogled about the other day, Wonder Boys, was based on his novel). I bought his first book, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. I am flabbergasted. I am bowled […]

Wow.
Your humble host has been recognized by two different institutions in the last few days. First, the wonderfully kind and inspiringly resourceful Jessamyn has quoted me over at librarian.net. It appears she shares my views on corporate publishering. Warning, if the “F” word gets your panties in a ruffle (and not in a nice way) […]

From E.Z. L.A. by Folk Implosion:
Hear the other ocean churning
Helicopters up above
While another canyons burning
Rain could wash the hill away
 
Easy L.A.
It’s another beautiful day
L.A., alright
Cold like the desert at night.
