LilF and I have gotten into discussions about superpowers. If we could have any, what would they be? The discussion started with what one superpower would you want, and has grown to 3 powers, just to make it interesting. I think he has increased the number to make the conversation last longer, and to try…

Yesterday was a pretty decent day at work. I haven’t had one for a while, so I’m not quite sure how to define it or react to it. I also don’t want to get all gushy about it because I know how quickly it can go back to shit. It’s the volatility that gets me.…

I admit it. I am nervous. I have never been on a ranch before. I have absolutely never been on a Dude ranch before. When I was in 2nd grade, we moved from the city to the country, right next to a 5 acre ranchlet that would get 2 or 3 baby cows each summer.…

What makes you tick? What gets you going every day, and keeps you going through the day? It’s a question that we ask all the time in passing, but do you ever really think about the answer? I’ve been thinking about this a lot over the last few months (years) and have had to really…

It always happens the same way. I have an idea for a post, something that I want to share and that actually might be interesting to someone else, and by the time I get to a device, fire it up, log in to wordpress and get to recording, the idea is gone. This is the…

That didn’t work at all. What was it? Did you see it? Hopefully not. A weekly digest of all my tweets as a blog post, automagically generated and posted with no effort from me at all (except to turn it on). Interesting idea, but only if you are saying anything interesting at either location. Otherwise,…

We all knew what we were getting into when we signed up. We all knew the risks, the dangers, and the odds. But that doesn’t make it any easier when the people you have lived, laughed, and cried with are suddenly gone. One minute there, planning the day’s travels, and the next minute emptiness. Swallowed…

Early morning. Lots of tweets and posts and things to catch up on after a busy Halloween weekend. But today I sat, drank my coffee, and watched the overcast sky brighten. Not a beautiful storybook sunrise. Not an overpowering awareness of the grandeur of the planet. Just the steady glow of the morning opening it’s…

Dear Cosmetics Industry, I have no idea how you do it, but you do. You take a little seed, a fluttering, fledgling of nothing and nurture it into an amazing flower with nothing more than a bit of colored dust, water, and maybe a little whale bile. Whatever it takes. You make us look on…

Oh, Adobe-muffin, my longtime friend. I understand your frustration at Apple for not allowing Flash to run on their iPhone and iPad. You have worked long and hard on systems that would convert Flash into an iPhone/Pad application, and don’t want to throw all that great programming out the window like a day old placenta.…
