Visitor at Work July 30, 2006
We noticed this (not so) lil’ guy crawling along the counter at work today. Having a mild case of arachnophobia and being a camera buff, my reaction was pretty predictable: ‘Ugh! Eww! (cringe) … Where’s the macro lens?’

One man’s porn… July 27, 2006
‘Are these real?’ I asked myself as I scrolled down the row of pictures on the webpage. Prairie started giggling. ‘That’s the kind of thing most guys would say while they’re looking at porn.’ I laughed. ‘I am!’

Same-Sex Marriage Still Banned in Washington State July 26, 2006
Sorry gays. We don’t care if you love each other. You don’t have children, and marriage is all about the children, so you can’t get married.

Trekommendations? July 25, 2006
As much as I enjoy Trek, I’ve never really explored the literary Trek work terribly much over the years. Any recommendations from others out there who might have explored more of the printed Trek universe?

Retkhan July 25, 2006
Yesterday while on lunch and browsing the bookstore shelves, I noticed that Greg Cox had a new Khan book out, To Reign in Hell: The Exile of Khan Noonien Singh, in which he explores the eighteen years between ‘Space Seed’ and The Wrath of Khan.

Just a little warm… July 23, 2006
Okay, so it’s not the 100-plus that other parts of the country have been getting, but still. Ugh. Yesterday was a record-setting 97, apparently, and it felt like it. Every fan in the apartment is going strong, and we still don’t really want to move any more than we have to.

Best Phone Call Ever July 22, 2006
Xebeth just called. She’s a little hoarse from the tube they had down her throat, and feeling a bit beat up and bruised, but she’s definitely pulled through.

Trampoline July 21, 2006
Taken at Gas Works Park on the fourth of July. Completely randomly, someone brought out and set up a trampoline, then started letting kids play, three at a time.

Keeping Our Fingers Crossed July 21, 2006
Word from R as of about 4pm today is that Xebeth is ‘okay’ — out of surgery and in the ICU. From the sound of it, while she’s not out of the woods, she’s not in immediate danger at the moment.

Malignant Hyperthermia July 21, 2006
I haven’t mentioned this before — and debated even putting this post up — but Xebeth, who I recently reconnected with and has become an extremely dear friend to both Prairie and I, has been battling malignant hyperthermia for some time now.

FD’s Flickr Widget July 21, 2006
As may be obvious by the photos shown in the banner, I’ve been working on playing catch up with my photos off and on over the past few days. Fourth of July photos are coming soon (gee, what, two weeks late?)….

We Have Power July 17, 2006
Apparently there are two breakers on the troublesome circuit, one of which had popped — which meant that for half of our apartment, outlets that should have been getting 110v were only getting around 80v.

300 Multiple Choices July 14, 2006
The idea for using server response codes as SMS shorthand that’s going around right now is cute, but I still prefer an idea I from January of ‘04, when I ran across the idea of applying server response codes to dating.

Mt. Ranier from Discovery Park July 14, 2006
This is my current desktop background, too. Could be sharper, but not bad for being handheld using my old $40 all-manual zoom lens.

The M&M Army July 11, 2006
I’ve been meaning to document my growing M-and-M’s figurine collection for some time now, and finally got around to it today, after spending a few minutes and fifty cents assembling a DIY lightbox.

Prairie and I went out to see the new [Pirates of the Caribbean][1] movie last night. The reviews aren’t being terribly kind, but we had a lot of fun.
