Police Man

September 21, 2006 – 11:40 pm

When I get in to work there’s a silver-haired guy standing in the far corner of the Mezzanine. Another guy trains a camera on him as he talks and gesticulates and looks really important.
“Who’s the star?” I ask.
“Some guy from The Police,” someone says. It’s Steward Copeland, I realize, and I spend the next hour [...]

Too Many Users

September 20, 2006 – 4:27 pm

Nice to be back. For most of the day, the database servers at my hosting company have been slammed too much traffic. Not certain what caused it, but it wasn’t me. I swear.
I’m typing this in a Vicod!n blur right now. I paid a visit to the dentist on Monday. It’s my third visit to [...]

Change of Plan

August 28, 2006 – 3:53 pm

As usual, things don’t always turn out as you plan. I’m back from the Sierra Nevada a couple days early. The plan was to dive into the Sierra over Lamarck Col. Then head out of Darwin Canyon, up the vast granite bowl of the Evolution Basin, over Muir Pass, down LeConte Canyon, up to Dusy [...]

Back Soon

August 23, 2006 – 7:56 am

I’m outta here folks. I had meant to prepare some nifty posts for while I was gone. But HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA! Yeah right. If you have some magic time expanding machine, I’d like to borrow it. For the next seven days I’ll be here. See you when I get back.

Bunnies, Kittens and Gristle

August 8, 2006 – 1:12 pm

So I’m trying to decide on a name for a new website. This website is going to be the front door for my freelance web design projects. I want to be able to tell people to drop by this place if they’re curious to see what I’ve designed. Since I hope to be catering to [...]

Countrywide Classic

August 1, 2006 – 1:29 am

So on Friday and Sunday my Mom and I catch some live tennis. Live tennis is a lot like televised tennis, but without the advertisements. That instantly makes it a thousand times better. Add to that the immediacy of a 360 degree chorus of oohs and aahs and you have a superior spectating experience. Unfortunately, [...]

Scorpion For Cancer

June 26, 2006 – 11:46 am

Guelaguetza Restaurant is a great place to get Comida Oaxanena in Koreatown. Outside, on Olympic at Normandie, there are Korean signs and banks and restauants in every direction. Inside, it’s an Oaxacan paradise. I’m there to celebrate Debbie’s birthday. There are fifteen of us, including several cats from Amoeba.
Remember how I said just a couple [...]

BBQ

June 16, 2006 – 8:10 am

The fast has been over for a few weeks now. But today one of its effects catches up with me.
I just got this in the mail.

I mean, it’s not like it just showed up. I ordered it from Cook’s Illustrated. I was terribly hungry and it seemed like such a good idea at the time; [...]

Copa Mundial

June 15, 2006 – 8:20 am

Yes, Hell must be inches deep in powder right now. And farmers worldwide are struggling with the challenge of putting roofs on their pig pens. Trees are falling in the forest and making a hell of a racket and horses, having been led to water, are drinking till the pop.
I now have cable television.
That’s right. [...]

The Air Near My Fingers

May 31, 2006 – 12:20 am

In the time I’ve been gone (almost a week now) I’ve gotten mostly better. The steamboats are gone. The noise in my head has calmed down.
In the time I’ve been gone I completed the first draft of ELEMENT. That’s Number Two in the Six in 2006 plan. And I haven’t slowed yet. I just hit [...]
