Ari forwarded this to me in response to my “I love you” post:
“You know, love is a happy time all throughout the universe. It’s when the male part of the species goes to the female part of the species and says, “Hey, you want to go on a date?” And then she would say “Why, […]

I love you.
I love the way you smile when we look at each other over the dinner table. I love the way you squint at me when you are sleepy. I love how you end even trivial notes to me with a smiley face or a heart. I love the smell and the color of […]

Interesting comments over at Metafilter about snowboarding, skateboarding and the Olympics. Neuroshred makes a good point that snowboarding is in the Olympics because it was able to piggyback in on an existing sport, skiing. Skateboarding would have to be an entirely new event. Matt Haughey makes an equally good point that the truly best snowboarders […]

Just plain good stuff: I really wish Tim would get sick more often. And I mean that in a nice way. I love it when he channels like this. And Dean Allen (aka God in some circles) is having a Bad Textism Contest. I’d like to submit, but I’m certain that even my bad Textism […]

Skateboarding is just as hard and requires equal skill. Now, I’ve never snowboarded so I can’t speak from experience. […]

Wow, I was mentioned on 3XL, a Catalan language entertainment news site from Spain, in reference to my award for most distracting background image in the 2001 Anti-Bloggies. This is how the paragraph reads in Catalan:
I si els Oscar tenen els anti-Oscar, els Bloggies tenen… els anti-Bloggies! Entreu-hi per veure les pitjors weblogs i per […]

A few nights ago, I was in the kitchen cooking dinner and Julien came up to me and started yanking on my thumb. I didn’t pay much attention at first. Four year old boys do many strange and confusing things. But he kept doing it. Yank-yank-yank. Finally, I looked down and said, “Julien? What are […]

Okay, so here’s the problem: in IE 5 for Macintosh, the file monkey.php is currently wacked out. I can’t tell if it’s choking on the style sheet, or if its a problem in the php, or if it’s the browser. What happens is it gets to the comment from Valkyrie and then abruptly ends. If […]

Gratuitous juvenile moment: I was working in OCLC, a cataloging database, when I went to export a record to our local database. The export command in OCLC is xpo but I accidentally typed xpoo.
Anyway, I laughed.
