Norwescon Tweetup March 29, 2009
Barring any unforeseen complications, I’m tentatively choosing 3pm on Saturday afternoon as a good time, the location is still to be determined.

Geek and Other Holidays March 28, 2009
I’ve just resurrected an old project, using Wikipedia’s list of unofficial observances to create a calendar file (in
1 comment.icsformat) suitable for download and direct import or subscription in iCal, Outlook, Google Calendar, or (as far as I know) any other reputable calendar program. -
We’ve got bikes! March 24, 2009
As spring has been getting closer, we’ve been getting more excited about the plan, and so this morning, as a combination of early birthday present and consolation after getting word that I didn’t get a job I’d interviewed for last week, we went up to Target and got ourselves new toys.

The Norwescon Outfit I Didn’t Make March 23, 2009
This is what I wanted to do for this year’s Norwescon…and, to be honest, I still think it’d be fun to do it at some point in the future. I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to it, but it’s fun to have it rattling around in my head.

International Talk Like William Shatner Day March 22, 2009
In honor of William Shatner’s 78th birthday today, 3/22/09, I am declaring March 22nd to be ‘International Talk Like William Shatner Day!’ Now, since talking like our hero is a bit more challenging than walking around going, ‘Arrr’, I’ve included the following video tutorial for your edification.

The writing’s been on the wall for some time now, but it’s just been made official: tomorrow’s print run of the Seattle P-I will be its last.

Kent at High Flood Risk March 16, 2009
I’m glad we’re not on the ground floor of our apartment building — as we live here in the Kent Valley, within about a five-minute walk of the banks of the Green River, we’re smack-dab in the middle of the area of South King County at high risk for flooding.

Dear Abby and Utilikilts March 13, 2009
In yesterday’s column, Dear Abby passes on lots of words of encouragement from others who’ve escaped the tyrrany of trousers, and specifically mentions a certain local menswear company.

For those of you that are LT members (and Mac OS X users), they’ve just released a new toy: the LibraryThing Mac Screensaver. It’s actually just a specialized RSS feed that grabs random book covers from your library which you can put into Mac OS X’s RSS feed screensaver.

Watchmen Credits March 10, 2009
While Watchmen didn’t end up as my favorite movie ever, I do want to join a number of people in recognizing the excellence of the opening credit sequence. In fact, this was probably my favorite part of the movie itself.

Vanilla Ice: “I’m Sorry” March 10, 2009
I’m not entirely convinced this is a heartfelt apology, given that it comes from an (admittedly, amusing) Virgin Mobile promo site called ‘Right Music Wrongs’, but it is about damn time!

30 Years of CDs March 10, 2009
I didn’t even have a CD player at this point, but this was a limited edition! Who knew how long it would be on the market, or whether we’d ever be able to get it in the frozen wastelands of Alaska! As a Queen fan, I had to have it, and I plunked my money down.

Watching the Watchmen March 9, 2009
Since I can only spend so many hours a day tossing resumes out across the ‘net before I start to go buggy, I decided to take a few hours out of the day and head out to catch the matinee of Watchmen. I got home a bit ago, and I’m going to see what I can do as far as getting my thoughts down. Perhaps a little jumbled, but so it goes.

Resume Crowdsourcing March 4, 2009
Fueled somewhat equally by the frustration of trying to ‘sell myself’ with my resume and curiosity about all this ultra-modern networking and interconnectedness that the intarwebz give us all, I decided to try a little bit of an experiment yesterday.

Gearing Up March 3, 2009
First off, thanks for all the commiseration and kind wishes I’ve received from everyone, whether it be via e-mail, blog/LiveJournal/Facebook comments, or Twitter. E-support is definitely still support, and it’s nice to have so much!

Back to the Breadline March 2, 2009
I suppose I should take a moment to expand a bit on today’s happenings, though there’s really not a whole lot more to say than what I tweeted earlier: the company needs to cut back, and as I was a temp employee, I was easily expendable.
