bye bye taxes, hello old commute

tax season is ovah!

so, after her tax day celebration with her former employer yesterday, carrie & i stopped by Duck Island pub before heading home. (good beer had, btw.)

and now i’m back to riding the bus or train into and out of downtown seattle for my commute. it’s weird going back. i also realize that it’s very difficult to wake up earlier so i can get the train. i’ve got to work on that.

so now our plans include brewing a beer to celebrate the demise of the tax season, and start working on the house – gangbusters. also, we should get out and about once in a while and have some fun.

and i have some ambitious plans as far as this and my other websites go. i really want to break this out so that mikeyboy.com is just about me & us & dog & cats & fish & house & etc. and have a separate URL & blog for the car, and one where i can rant about varied & sundried things relating to technology and the internet and whatever else strikes my fancy.

so stay tuned. i am most certain i will not shake up the ‘blogosphere’ with my nonsensical babbling. but maybe i can throw some context-based advertising on and make a buck or two. (yes, it will probably only be a buck or two.).

Skagit Valley Tulip Festival 2006

we went to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival yesterday, April 8th 2006. below you can find a link to a Flickr photoset with 115 images.

the big fields immediately surrounding Roozengaarde weren’t planted, so they don’t have them open to go wander around in. but the presentation gardens were full of variety as always and it was an absolute mob scene.

site updates – updated CMS software, and URL aliases

here’s one for the geeks in the audience (sorry, mom & mom-in-law).

i’ve recently updated my site to the latest stable release of my content management system, and discovered functionality (that’s existed in it for quite some time) to alias the big ugly URLs i was previously using, down to nice quick ones.

for example:

this url: http://mikeyboy.com/taxonomy/term/2/all is now represented simply as: http://mikeyboy.com/travel

probably doesn’t mean a hill of beans to anyone but me, but i think it’s fun. and it should help google to classify my content as well.

and i don't even care, to shake these zipper blues

And I don�t even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don�t know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed
into the earth below

back to my old style: musical reference & summary of recent activities (office project, brewing, house project, cats). who’s that on the iPod?

nora & me

i know, i don’t post many pictures of myself. i’m humble, that way. to appease those who don’t like this policy – here’s a few shots with my girl-kitty, nora.
