  • Sunset, 5 Dec 2008

    ramblings

    A deep purple sky with pale orange-lit clouds, viewed beyond a pair of large leafless trees in the late fall

    The sunset across the street from my house today caught my eye. One small element of beauty in an otherwise depressing day.

  • An Ode to My Busted iPhone

    art, ramblings

    I never thought
    That you would be so fragile

    Your skin, your face,
    Unscratchable, they said
    I put you to the test.

    You survived.
    For a while.

    Marks appeared.
    A few careless drops to the concrete
    broke your jaw
    Your vibrator
    rattling loose inside your chest

    I thought I could fix you
    But I just […]

  • The Feeder of Birds

    ramblings

    A 4-sided plastic bird feeder, with a clear body, a maroon roof, and a resting spot on each side for birds, hangs above a garden landscape

    Clawed by the more aggressive squirrels at our new house, the bird feeder still stands watch.

    ramblings

    Just as a reminder to myself:

    XLR Pin 1 = TRS Shield (I use ground wire)

    XLR Pin 2 = TRS Tip (red)

    XLR Pin 3 = TRS Ring (black)

    The problems I have realized which keep me from […]

  • History Hacker, TONIGHT, 8pm & 12M on History

    flicks, geek, howto

    I was involved in making this really awesome, smart, fun, geeky history show with a strong science bent and a maker ethos. I hope you all watch the the show tonight, because it really deserves to live on as a series (and there’s a dearth of smart, fun, geeky shows on the air)!

  • So, I guess I’m on a sort-of hiatus.

    ramblings

    I realize I haven’t written much on here lately, and much of my time has been taken up by, in turns, coming to grips with the fact we have to move (our landlords decided they want to move back into the house we were renting), finding a place to move to, cleaning, sorting and purging items from our current domicile, and preparing to move.

    We won’t actually be finished moving until the end of August and the very next weekend (September 5-7), I’ll be traveling to Chicago for the C4[2] Mac indie developer’s conference, so… I wouldn’t necessarily expect any regular updates until after that point.

    I am still posting to my tumblog fairly regularly with links from the day’s reading, and even more often on Twitter, so check those out in the meantime if you want your daily dose of my craziness.
