  • Linking, reading, commenting, calendaring, working, relaxing

    I have to go back to my webcomics post from the other day to add links. I have to let my family and friends know I’m updating the blog regularly and I’d appreciate it if I got some readers and comments. I have an account with Gootodo, a terrific web-based to-do list application created by…

  • Movie review: Spider-Man 3

    1. CGI, fight scenes, SPFX, etc.: Awesome. 2. Dialogue: Are you serious? 3. Length: Holy crap, is this still on?! Could have been shorter by 45 minutes, easy. Overall: B- Up next: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (I’m at the wedding, just past the Stan Lee cameo). Hope to finish tomorrow.

  • How to forget about your daily troubles in 3 easy days

    OK, actually they’re 3 rather hard days, either of walking 60 miles (about 20 miles each day) or working as a volunteer to support the thousands of people walking, but getting involved in the Breast Cancer 3Day does make it easy to forget about the mundane things that we usually think are so hard and…

  • Google is awesome. Google is also a little scary.

    I need not elaborate on Google’s awesomeness. The scariness: crawling my blog within five minutes of my posting last night’s entry. MY site!? I knew it had been crawled before, when I first got the domain and started blogging, but I had no idea the bots were persistent and wide-ranging enough to grab my random…

  • THIS is how you spend Shabbat?!

    Well, not normally, no.. er… wait a minute! Why am I making excuses? This is MY blog! Yeah, well, I decided long ago that Shabbat observance for me was not going to look like the traditional, Orthodox version. The key elements in the concept and point of Shabbat for me were the separation from the…

  • Random thoughts

    I ought to be blogging more. edited to add: and I ought to fix/edit my sidebar contents. I had a productive day at work today, with a “third time’s a charm” situation regarding videotaping a presentation given by our esteemed young employer relations specialist and a rep from SDG&E. Then the day was made more…

  • Hear my voice!

    As previously noted/promised/predicted, Adam Curry played an audio comment I called in on episode 612 of the Daily Source Code (click on “Play” or “Archives” and choose episode 612) on Friday, June 1 (start listening at minute 8 if you don’t want to hear the whole thing), and then started episode 613 with an intro…

  • Those wacky Israelis!

    Makes me proud. What’s lacking in pacing and production values they make up for in creativity. glumbert.com – Supermarket 2.0

  • Coolest Con ever.

    When President Bush ordered troops to Iraq, he probably never imagined that he would be ultimately be responsible for what very well could be the very first D&D convention/game day ever held in a war zone. (via User Friendly)
