  1. Wrapping up 2007 December 31, 2007

    A little under eight hours left to go in the year, and as I look back, most of what stands out in my mind is just how incredibly busy this past year has been, for Prairie and for myself. That’s not to say it’s been a bad year, but we just never seemed to stop moving.

  2. The Ratings Game #1 December 30, 2007

    Every so often, I’ll post the MPAA rating and rationalization. Your goal is to try to guess the film, based solely on the MPAA’s rating and their description of its faults. I’ll post the answer either after someone guesses it correctly, or later on if it has remained a mystery.

  3. Kynt and Vyxsin December 29, 2007

    While sure, I’ll admit that part of the ‘drama’ of reality programming is the relationships (good and bad, but often bad) between the contestants, it’s been nice to see that at least two of the final five teams in this race actually treat each other like people should be treated — and it’s more than a little thrilling that it’s the two ‘counter-culture’ teams that have the best relationships.

  4. Christmas Eve Nostalgia December 24, 2007

    So for me, this is a perfect Christmas Eve present. I get to revisit part of my childhood with some good old music, Prairie’s enjoying hearing the songs (and watching me bounce around as I remember bits and pieces of them), and I get some more good Christmas music to add to our collection.

  5. An Early Christmas December 19, 2007

    As I briefly hinted at earlier today, Christmas came a little early for us this year. Prairie has all of the details over on Domesticism, but in her own words…

  6. Done with Hawaii December 15, 2007

    I was beginning to doubt that I’d ever find the time to finish this project, but I’m finally done with the pictures from our trip to Hawaii last summer!

  8. Finally, More Photos! December 13, 2007

    I actually had a day off today. No school, no work, nothing. So, I spent the day working on getting caught up on some of my photographic backlog. I started by processing a set of shots of Club V that I’d been asked to take, then dove back into the vacation photos from this summer. Lots of photos of the Pana’ewa Rainforest Zoo just outside of Hilo (one of which ended up being my 11,000th photo uploaded to Flickr!), plus some more snorkeling.

  9. Pet Dreams December 12, 2007

    These people need to get together with these people so that Prairie and I can get a hypoallergenic glow in the dark kitten.

  10. Expressiveness December 11, 2007

    I think a short passage in a Reuters Photographers blog may have nailed one of the reasons why my interest in sports is limited to football (real football, that is — most of you know this as ‘soccer’).

  11. A Vogue New Year’s Eve December 11, 2007

    I don’t guess that I’ll be going — Prairie and I, over the past few years, have found that New Years Eve out and about is often just a bit too much — but it’s nice to see one of my photos in use on the flyer for Monsignior and Roxy’s New Years Eve’ bash!

  12. 56 Geeks, 7 of Them Are Me December 10, 2007

    Of the 56 geeks pictured here, I think I can lay claim to having elements of at least seven of them (obviously some are more overt than others)…

  13. Best Xmas Commercials (So Far) December 6, 2007

    It’s only a top two, rather than a top ten or top three or any such thing (mostly because it’s so rare that commercials are actually fun that it’d be nearly impossible to get a list longer than two). However, here for your amusement are the top two commercials of this Christmas season, as chosen by Prairie and me.

  14. One Hundred and Forty Peeps December 6, 2007

    So far, I’m a little unimpressed with the leading contender for a collective noun for ‘those people I follow/am following on Twitter,’ which appears to be ‘tweeple’. To my ears, it’s rather silly, and a rather glaringly obvious portmanteau.

  15. Six Billion Gallons December 4, 2007

    Outside of leaks taking out a few ceiling tiles at my store in the mall, neither Prairie nor I have personally seen any of the more dramatic effects of the storm. Apparently we got off fairly lucky — the PI mentions a few people in our area of town that didn’t fare so well.
