long day, big country

again, i’ve crossed the continental US. this time i didn’t do it in a pickup truck with 2 cats.

woke up around 5 EDT yesterday morning, drove down to logan for an 8:05 alaska flight. non-stop to seattle.

got to seattle around 11:30am PDT. picked up a car, had coffee with a former co-worker, and then drove to portland to attend the Web Visions conference.

this morning, i woke up around central time. not bad. early for the west coast, slept in late from the perspective of the east coast.

this morning i’ve determined what panels i’m attending and soon i gotta get downtown.

well, i got over my rocking pneumonia. and i’m using prescription medication to control my boogie woogie blues. but now i’ve come down with a case of spring fever! wednesday it got up to 56, something snapped in my brain. i opened windows, put the box fan in one, and made a wind tunnel in […]

ventmatic faucets

of course you’ll see this in my flickr feed, but i’ll elaborate. we’ve had the 4-tap kegfridge for quite some time now, even going so far as to have it transported from WA to NH when we moved (is that legal? probably. it was empty at the time). we were never really happy with our […]

at 9:23 the bathtub fell

i previously mentioned the new neighbors across the street, the building being renovated kitty-corner from us, housing, amongst other things, the city of manchester’s new police substation. apparently they haven’t completed refurbishing all the apartments in the building, and work is ongoing. every day i hear random crashes as lazy workmen heave things off the […]

silly hopper

i went into the bedroom for something in mid-day and the cats were all sleeping. i must have made a noise to wake hopper up, and he had his tongue stuck out. he must not have been too awake, he left it sticking out for a while. after about a minute i grabbed my cameraphone […]

nora's trick, too

apparently nora reads my blog, and she wanted to get in on the sitting-on-dads-shoulders-at-his-desk action.

julie's other trick

she usually doesn’t do this while i’m at the desk, so i had the opportunity to use the isight in the macbook pro to get a shot of dad & julie together. both the girls do this from time to time, but none of the boys do.

julie's new trick

see what my wife does in her spare time? maybe next we can train them to paint.

so things look different…

i liked the old design okay. it was a quick new thing when i switched to wordpress. this new design incorporates a 3 column layout, built with techniques i learned from this old school tutorial at glish.com. the sidebar is different – i canned the archive links. who wants to read this by month? use […]

strangest precip ever

so, while we didn’t get a massive snowstorm yesterday, we did get some very interesting precipitation. it sleeted, and accumulated. several inches. when i went outside to move my car, it was still below freezing, so the sleet stayed whole. lots of tiny little ice pellets that you could kick around. shoveling was interesting – […]
