We're A-Movin' On Up

It's official: Gretchen, Sprocket, and I will be moving in a few weeks. Not too far, though. We'll be going deeper into the city of San Francisco starting on the first of September. Lori and Norm were here over the weekend (for a photo shoot); in between sets, Gretchen invited them to join her hunt. [...]

Slithy Toves

Admiral's log is brillig.

Thanks, Jon Snyder

I just received this disturbing bit of news: “Please tell Chris that one of his first fans died last weekend of a heart attack at home. There will be a visitation at 6 to 8 on Friday at Dunn's Funeral Home. On Saturday, there will be a memorial service at 1:00PM (again, at Dunn's).” I [...]

Humpday Happiness

If there can be a Friday Five and a Monday Mission, then I'm staking Wednesday for Humpday Happiness, damnit. We all need a pick me up in the middle of the week, right? So, fill in the blanks, you funny-faced freaks: ________ is my favorite food. I wish I could bring my ________ to work. [...]

Overheard Today

And your crybaby, whiny-assed opinion would be…? Do I look like a people person? This isn't an office. It's Hell with fluorescent lighting. I started out with nothing & still have most of it left. Sarcasm is just one more service we offer. If I throw a stick, will you leave? You…! Off my planet! [...]

Occam's Razor

One should not make more assumptions than the minimum needed.

True

Exercise extends your life by ten years, but you spend 15 of them doing it.

Time Bandit

I need a four-day weekend every month. Can you help me with that? Great. Thanks. I certainly appreciate it. This “time off” will be far from productive, mind you. Sure, there are always tasks in dire need of completion, but most hours would be spent perfecting breathing techniques. In and out, in and out – [...]

For Real

Now this is what I call testing.

Camera Trickery

Gretchen is the proud owner of her FIRST digital camera! As odd as it may sound, I had to do most of the shopping for her. Well, it's not like she forced me to do it; I really wanted to help her find the right one, baby. I've been extremely happy with my PowerShot G2, [...]

Thanking The Academy

I… I don't know what to say. It was an honor just to be nominated. This means more to me than you'll ever know. Yeah, I had to choke down a few gallons of Maduro to get it, but it was well worth doing. The Kenya kept me going. Thank you, Kenya blend! I'd like [...]

Unbirthday Suits

From the dude who shares his life with you: Hey, I just saw the Gnomedex t-shirt entry on your blog this evening. (very cool, by the way) It reminded me of something I thought of the other day. I was editing some photos from a recent trip to Gatlinburg, TN and when I got to [...]
