Desk Candy; Rental; Saturday
I enjoy having candy at my desk. My co-workers like it too. The lesson on these Starbursts is that the tropical flavored ones have wrappers that look just about the same as the regular ones, but they just don’t taste good enough, and taste too different from the regular that they are surprising in a...

Driver’s License Party Trick, Goodbye
So this year my driver’s license expired, and so I renewed it and I had to kiss my party trick good-bye. I used to love proving I once had hair to my waist by whipping this lovely photo out. No longer, my latest license just has a standard issue terrible photo. I suppose I could...

Joe Bennion’s Pottery
I’m a sucker for seeing how things get made — “how do they do that?” So seeing photos over on Rick’s blog of Joe Bennion throwing some of his pottery — well — I was blown AWAY! Really wonderful to see the work being done. And Joe has even more photos over on his blog....

“Banana Hell”
The completely appropriate title on this post from over in Vintage Ads is “Banana Hell.” Enjoy.

Mr. Bird
Photo by Leah. As our pied cockatiel gets older, supposedly the feathers of his face will get more and more yellow, a process we can see happening slowly with him. It’s hard to suss out how much personality he really has. He’s not quite like a dog or a cat, where there is true loyalty...

Not Very Helpful, Really
But rather entertaining.

Holidays Officially Over
Back at work, kids will go back soon-ish. A new year has begun in full force. Jobs to be done: get Wii fixed, get out of debt, get a handle on taxes, figure out where Leah and I will live next. I’ll ship the Wii today. The rest are nontrivial, but can be managed.

I like this photo by Grace Davis very much. It’s from dinner at Olio E Limone prior to going to see Sarah Vowell and David Sedaris perform.

Back From San Diego
Had a great time, and we’re wiped out. Here are some vaguely representative photos via a fuzzy phone camera. This is Leah and Me at a very unflattering angle listening to my Uncle Lee sing at a local church service (Lutheran) he sounded great! And here’s the same uncle and my aunt singing on Christmas...

Valentine’s Day Display in December (?!?)
Leah and I took a trip to a local Thousand Oaks Ralphs Supermarket — freeway-close and near the intersection of Moorpark Road and Janss Road — to get some Christmas essentials — namely: colored cellophane paper, candy canes, and IBUPROFEN. And what to my wandering eyes did appear, TWO AISLES OF SEASONAL TRAPPINGS. Only, what...

Downtown Los Angeles from Griffith Park
Excellent photo by Mack Reed over on Metroblogging.la: “Frigid dawn over Los Angeles”: Absolutely beautiful. About ten years ago I worked downtown on the night shift at California Hospital, just a few years after that I worked as a temp at ARCO working on web pages, where I first encountered any server-side programming in a...

Flickr Pro Stats Showed Me Uses of My Images
So Flickr Pro users now have access to stats, also announced on the flickr blog on the amounts of traffic they get, and where that traffic comes from. One of the first things I saw was a post on Valleywag that uses an old image from my Amiga Pictures set, here’s another old link to...

Leah and Joe, a Bit Tired
I really like the photo, but we do look a bit worn out. I do like it very much though. Dooce takes some great photos. This photo was from Friday night, pretty late.

Observations
Backstory: Last Tuesday, Leah drove with Alison and Tony (my niece and her husband) back to Utah, where they will go to school. They were great houseguests and their soups will be missed. So last week Leah was hanging out with Robin and the Armstrongs. I stayed back and worked. On Friday I flew to...

Joe2 bowls 137; Oblivious
Went bowling yesterday with co-workers, it was pretty fun. I bowled a 137, a 130, and a 114 which put me third among the 12 folks bowling. My head is feeling better too. It’s all good. The song in my head which I was unable a good copy of from either on iTunes, Amazon MP3...

Expatriate Baby Part 2
Part 1 was back in 2005. Here’s what Laura says: Just a short note to let you know Juliette Alexandra Ross joined us on October 22 at 2:23 Paris time. She was a long and lean 19.5 inches, 6.5 pounds, and she’s been an angel from the second she arrived. We’re at home now and...

Bar Camp LA 4 was Cool
I had a great time at BarCamp LA. I missed Saturday but I went Sunday, I brought 60 pounds of ice, I brought 7-up, I brought grape soda, I saw and participated in presentations, I met people (few new, some old), I took photos, I twittered, other people took photos, I ate pizza, I went...

Misc-y Halloween!
Did I really go a day without blogging? For shame! No, not really. It’s Halloween, though I don’t have any special visuals to offer you today — I’ve been far too busy lately. But I do have many tasty linky treats to offer. Really! Remember, Color Me Badd — famous for the song I Want...

Leah made me look really good
Just the other day: She’s driving back from Utah tomorrow. My wish for her is excellent driving, good weather, and little traffic.

Site Maintenance; Leah 2002
You may have noticed I’ve reverted the theme of this blog back to my prior black with zig-zag sidebars and away from the excellent free theme I had been using. In the end using someone else’s theme on my blog feels wrong to me. It’s not really showing my crufty personality and peculiar oddness in...
