  1. Gaiman, Webley, and Toasty Tuckuses November 29, 2006

    Nifty randomness of the day: seeing Neil Gaiman quote and promote Jason Webley (by way of someone posting the video to Eleven Saints).

  2. Snowy Days November 29, 2006

    The local news is a hoot, from the perspective of an ex-Alaskan — the first twenty minutes of each broadcast can be boiled down to, ‘stay home, it’s slippery and you don’t know how to drive.’ Then, maybe, if there isn’t a new front moving in, they might fill us in on some of what’s going on in the rest of the world.

  3. No Snow Day for Us November 28, 2006

    Grrrrr. It’s not just that I want my snow day — and sure, I do — but it’s dangerous out there. Demanding that students and teachers fight their way through this crud to get to school is stupid and irresponsible.

  4. Rainier and the Flood November 27, 2006

    Looks like the scenery is going to be a little bit different next time Prairie and I are able to head down to Mt. Rainier for a weekend getaway. The heavy rains and flooding of the past weeks have hit Rainier National Park hard, including quite a few of the areas that we went through this summer.

  5. Best Bad Review of the Zune November 27, 2006

    The Zune is a complete, humiliating failure…it almost becomes important that you encourage people not to buy one.

  7. So Long, Space Needle November 26, 2006

    The Space Needle will once again become this city’s tallest building in April 2009, when NASA launches the tower into Earth orbit. The rotating restaurant will provide simulated Earth gravity, not to mention fresh salmon and Dungeness crab from Washington and Alaska waters.

  9. I sense a trend… November 24, 2006

    Not at all a normal Seattle forecast, but this hasn’t exactly been a normal Seattle November, either. Kinda fun to see what might happen as the week goes by!

  10. Black Friday Morn November 24, 2006

    So now, here I am at five in the morning, trying to shake off a turkey coma so I can go deal with the craziest of the Black Friday shoppers.

  11. Storm Season November 21, 2006

    Wow — in the past few minutes, there have been three thunderclaps loud enough to rattle the windows, and now we’ve got hail pelting down like crazy, plus the wind and rain that you can expect for a storm like this.

  12. Teen Repellent November 21, 2006

    Here’s a site that has a selection of a few different ultrasonic ring tones at various frequencies, from 8 kHz up to 22.4 kHz, so you can test your own hearing abilities and see if you’d be able to hear (or be annoyed by) the tones.

  13. Header Images November 20, 2006

    I’d like to get further into customizing my site later on down the line, but for the moment, I think most of my tweaks will be pretty simple. I have had fun grabbing a selection of images to use for the randomized header image at the top of the page, however.

  14. Pop Culture Disconnect November 20, 2006

    The professor spent a few minutes talking about the Mongol’s invasion techniques, which were simple but could be fairly ruthless. After summarizing this, he commented, ‘really, they were pretty close to the Borg.’

  16. Lockdown November 15, 2006

    Seeing as I haven’t been writing a whole lot lately, this seems as good a time as any to declare this site on temporary hiatus while I transfer over to the new webhost.

  18. Jumping Ship? November 9, 2006

    …if, while moving over to my new digs, I were to take advantage of the one-click WordPress installation offered by Dreamhost and finally dip my toes in waters other than those of Movable Type, are there any pieces of advice I should know about?

  19. Probable Downtime November 7, 2006

    It’s entirely possible that at some point in the upcoming weeks, there may be a few days (hopefully not much more than that) where this website isn’t accessible. I hope that this won’t last very long, if at all, but it’s a distinct possibility. Consider yourselves warned.

  20. Bowed but not Broken November 6, 2006

    So, there we are. Some small amount of actual content. It had to happen at some point, right? ;)
