Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
Sears Skydeck to install glass ledge.
Oh my, yes.
I must do this.
What Would You Do?
Saturday I was in a department store buying some clothes. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a tall, balding man in a salmon-colored tank top standing next to a rack of shirts, idly flipping through them. I guess I have a proclivity toward noticing that sort of thing. My eyes drawn inexorably [...]
The Internet Debris Treasure Trove
I am sitting here, upon the umpteenth viewing of the Kutiman video project called Thru-You. If you have not seen it, you must, but I’ll summarize it all the same.
This man has created musical and video compositions mixed together from various videos gathered on YouTube. To be clear, he’s not mixing in video with existing [...]
A Special Wish
I have a special wish.
It’s not one that will ever be realized, but imagining it makes me happy in all my happy places.
I just wish that for every spam message that annoys someone, the person who generated that spam message gets a slap in the head.
Nothing violent, nothing injury inducing. Just one of those smacks [...]
Good MacBook Nano Price, if you want mobile broadband
Dell is offering a nicely equipped Mini 9 for what amounts to $99 after rebate. The caveat is that you need to sign up for two years of AT&T broadband, at $60/month

I didn’t want to spend a lot, and the price [...]

I’m pretty sure I wasn’t planning on it, but it’s still good to know I shouldn’t.
On my way home
Sitting here in Montreal waiting for my connecting flight.
I’m tired, since I only got 2 hours’ sleep last night.
I’m anxious because a tornado hit near Chicago, and it looks like my house was without power for well over 12 hours. Not sure what I’ll face upon my return.
I know work’s going to [...]
Update from the road
The visit to the homeland is winding down. I’ve got a few more days here before I fly back to Chicago. It’s been a blast so far.
Friday night, we had a family reunion of sorts — it’s not often that I’m home visiting the same time my brother Fred is, and this is [...]
