Dear Panera,

Please stop putting my food on *top* of the napkins.
Love, Craig.

Summit, Aug 17, 2008 – tapping the kegs, originally uploaded by stacecom.

I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. We went to a show at the Lakeshore Theater watching a lineup of some [...]

Hello World?

Okay, things look to be pretty much moved to the new server.
I’m in the process of splitting stace.com and robotmonkeypants.com into two separate sites, and I ran into some trouble getting things to work over at bluehost. So, I’ve moved this site over to NearlyFreeSpeech.net to give it a spin.
Hope to have something worthwhile [...]

One of those bizarre late-night browsing sessions led me to, of all things, a write-up of a social event I’d attended (hell, I arranged it) from over 18 years ago. Reading it was surreal. I was transported back to a time when everything was yet to occur — when I’d had no idea [...]

My home server is dead.

The machine that handles my mail and on which I run a small social MOO has died. Well, the disk, specifically.
Sad thing is that this weekend I’m supposed to re-caulk the tub, assist in preparing for out of town visitors next weekend, and I was hoping to go see Carbon Leaf at the zoo [...]
