    Both literally and figuratively. Apparently there's been strong winds and of course, rain–knocking out power in much of the area. I was talking to my friend Jenny today and she said she had the day off because her company didn't have power. Flights are delayed. My friend Chuphoria was supposed to go up late night…

    Look, these are only $30 on Amazon! I posted about them back in November. I gotta stop looking at all these deals. I've been buying online too much. Online shopping is addicting! I've also been sharing some of the deals at the bottom of this page. People have been asking me where I find them.…

    Anyone want $136 and a job as a corpse on CSI? Laying flat on your back, not moving or breathing, staring unblinking at the ceiling…no thanks. +- Every time I see a commercial for these Roomba things, I want to get one. I wonder if it really works. I'd let it loose in my living…

    Hmm, my page had a breakdown yesterday.  The only thing that would load was the background.  I contacted Dreamhost and they fixed it.  Apparently there’s some trouble with wp-cache turned on when you upgrade to PHP 5.1.2.  Now if only I can get my page to load faster…WordPress plays kinda slow with Dreamhost. +- Look,…

    Dave Barnes at Cafe du Nord.  And yes, of course he's playing a Taylor. This shot was one of the few OK ones out of the bunch. It's slightly cropped with a little fill light added in. Looks better against the light background (so you can tell where the picture ends). It was good for…

    Anyone buy anything on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?  My family watched a lot of football over Thanksgiving.  Out of all the sports, I think football is the only one I don't mind watching, no matter what team is playing.  Then I came across the weirdest high school football game. Too bad we didn't have…

    For all my geeky friends (and much of my family)…  How to determine if you are an engineer: The only jokes you receive are through email (OUCH) At Christmas, it goes without saying that you will be the one to find the burnt-out bulb in the string of Christmas lights. Buying flowers for your girlfriend/boyfriend…

    Thanksgiving should be spent with family at home, not at the ER.  That's where my dad went for a few hours today because of heart palpitations.  Things are fine now, but I'm glad he's ok and that my mom's ok as well.  I always say you can tell how she's doing, healthwise, by how much…

    I should order some of these stickers from iparklikeanidiot.com/.  Apparently, they're low-tac so it's not meant to be permanent, easier to peel off.  Someone buy it and share the 100-pack with me.  I might have to use it on some of my kids–I've seen how they park.

    The next time I go on vacation, I'm going to use this as my auto-response: I’m on vacation until June 30th, and I will delete all email when I return. In case of an emergency, Carol Smith has my cell phone number. You may wish to send your request to Brian White or Amit Singhal,…

    I miss practicing. Because it’s getting dark pretty early and I can’t play tennis after work, maybe I should start training again.
