This weekend is just me and the boys. It is not terribly hard, but we are watching way more TV than usual. I am tired and my brain doesn’t work as well. Katie feels this every day. 🙁 We went to the San Mateo County Fair on Friday. It was pretty lame. I remember seeing…
Well, it’s that time of year again where I predict things and get them all wrong. Here we go. Democrat VP Picks. I predict Caroline Kennedy. I think Joe Biden would be solid too. If its Caroline, then Joe will sign on for Secretary of State. Republican VP Picks. Joe Lieberman (Boo!). Maybe Mike Bloomberg.…
Beat that.
There are several images in this collection of beautiful feminine illustrations that just stopped me in my tracks. To me, the purpose of art is to evoke emotion or thought. This collection has a wealth of it. Two standouts are the one with the girl spinning a hoop/maze and this cubist rendering. I think women…
JibJab is so cool. They allow you to upload your own photo into the middle of their movie. How the hell do they do that?! Watch this one. I am in it. REMOVED LONG AGO
Miles: Sometimes you gotta say “What the F**k”, make your move. Joel, every now and then, saying “What the F**k”, brings freedom. Freedom brings opportunity, opportunity brings freedom. So your parents are going out of town. You got the place all to yourself. Joel Goodson: Yeah. Miles: What the f**k. Nothing is more difficult, and…
This might sound stupid, but I was struggling to find out what font Microsoft used in their menus in Office 2007. I thought it was Calibri, but that was incorrect. It turns out to be Segoe UI. Google sort of let me down there. I googled and googled and couldn’t find a post with the…
John McCain has proposed a 300 million dollar prize for a better battery. Although I certainly am in favor of a significant increase in funding for batteries, I don’t understand why this is a prize. Why not just invest 300 million in R&D grants for better batteries? Is it really a “prize”? So one company…
I just noticed something this morning. I always knew the arrow was sort of a smile. The M and the A were the eyes and the arrow was the smile. However, I didn’t notice that the arrow goes from A to Z until today. From A to Z. They don’t just sell books. Get it?…
This is EXACTLY how Katie and Matthew interact. Except replace Lois with Katie.

Every once in a while, I do a little exploration on the web to look for interesting things. I don’t do it that often because it is a road that leads to everywhere and I could get lost for hours. However, I feel compelled to do it a little bit of the time and this…
Wow, today is a terrible allergy day. I took a claritin, but I still feel awful. Maybe this is punishment for being mean to Katie. She deserves better. I woke up and my eyes immediately started bleeding, then I started sneezing. I took a drink of water because I was terribly dehydrated and the fluid…
I turned 36 yesterday. The day started off rough with a huge mistake I made and some scrambling to fix it. It kept going with details and a million things to deal with. I got a bunch done. Some good product management candidates coming in next week. Then we went to dinner at BenniHanna‘s in…
