My parents were in town for the wedding this weekend, and they commented on how little food I have in my fridge and pantry. This is by design, of course. I try to only buy what I need for that week. I don’t like to accumulate food that I’m not using. When I temporarily moved … Read more
I don’t surf the web all that much. Granted, I’m on the internet all day. Constantly. But I spend most of my time on my e-mail and Google Reader. I like my content delivered to me–I don’t like to have to go out and find it. That means when I do venture out into the … Read more
I think we all have some dream of using/obtaining a piece of technology that doesn’t exist yet. Maybe something that a movie has shown us–an anti-gravity skateboard. A lightsaber. A virtual reality chamber. A mech suit. These types of technologies fascinate me, and I truly hope they become reality someday. But there’s one piece of … Read more

The hosts select their favorites within several different categories and put those ornaments on the tree; the rest are auctioned off to the attendees, with … Read more
I was going to write about something completely different today, but then JoshVision posted this blog entry announcing the launch of his book on Kickstarter, and I can’t stop thinking about anything else. My mind is blown. I’m having braingasms. Kickstarter is a site where you can post a project–usually one in progress–and seek funding … Read more
See my thoughts and post your thoughts on my TypeTribe blog entry on the topic.
Two years ago, I posted on this blog that I’d never buy an iPhone because of the lack of a tactile keyboard. I take it all back. I bought an iPhone. I won’t go into the reasons here, beyond the fact that I called Sprint, my service provider for the last 7 years, and gave … Read more
Back in my day, we had laser tag. Then came paintball. Now there’s MagiQuest. Haven’t heard of MagiQuest? Neither had I until I read an article about it in Wired this month. The basic concept: give a bunch of kids “magic” wands embedded with infrared sensors and send them on a “magical” quest (hence the name–get … Read more
