So I get into work this morning at 10-till-7:00am. This would give me plenty of time to work-out and take a shower before I start my day out. Everything is going as planned until I open the rear, driver-side door to get my gym bag. There on my rear, passenger-side seat sits the baby’s car… Continue reading There and Back Again…and There Again

The Device that Rocks the Cradle
Gary Cho invented the “Caring Cot” that potentially allows parents to get the entire night’s sleep. As a relatively new parent myself, the concept of more than a few hours of sleep at a time was just inconceivable for the first several months. We’ve gotten a little better at ignoring the minor sounds of a… Continue reading The Device that Rocks the Cradle
Dynamic Header @ 1976design.com
I’m deeply inspired by the efforts of Dunstan Orchard and friends in the development of a dynamic banner on his webpage. A friend of mine, Sean, pointed this site out to me.

Bathroom Etiquette
This should probably be a meme if it isn’t already (note to self…). I have a list of things I would like to post in regards to bathroom etiquette. Please follow these simple guidelines when in my presence. *Do NOT* talk to me whilst I piddle or poo. Talking to me during a piddle is… Continue reading Bathroom Etiquette
Commuter Blues (Cont.)
So I didn’t actually get up in time to be at work at 6:00am the other day. I missed my ride and had to drive myself through annoying traffic.

Darren’s Laughable State of Personal Computing
“The computer industry’s track record is just shameful. In what other area of our consumer life would we accept ‘buggy’ products that only work some of the time? If your car (assuming it wasn’t a jalopy), tennis racket or can of Coke failed regularly, you’d be pretty upset. Yet, the software industry has failed to… Continue reading Darren’s Laughable State of Personal Computing
Queer Vampire – Vampires and AIDS
A question came up between friends recently on the topic of AIDS and vampires. For each of the four of us, we all had slightly differing opinons. The four answers were: Ed: The vampire contracts AIDS and dies after getting its first illness *CORRECTION* Ed thought that the vampire would get a cold, but recover… Continue reading Queer Vampire – Vampires and AIDS
Fever
Fever is a funny thing. Your body induces fever to fight off a variety of infections or illnesses. Apparently, a region in your brain, the hypothalamus, handles the regulation of your body temperature, but particular kinds of illness will set your hypothalamus at a higher level. This is from molecules in your blood called pyrogens.… Continue reading Fever
The Honda Experience (Finale)
We brought our trade-in to Honda this evening to finalize our documentation. The grounds for this, of course, were to clear up our misunderstanding about purchase price swap-outs. After talking with the General Manager, Lee Thompson, I was very speedily taken care of and the paperwork was rewritten to show an adjustment (based on my… Continue reading The Honda Experience (Finale)
