Sore Throat Cure

July 22, 2008

The Wife and Big Sister are feeling ill today.  The Wife more than Big Sister since I swear Big Sister gets sick for only 45 minutes at a time.
Anyway they both have fevers and sore throats.  in fact, Little Sister also had a sore throat this morning…listening to a 4-year-old trying to clear her throat [...]

Sunflower

July 22, 2008

Here is a picture of my sunflower.  It is not as nice a photo as Posey’s but:
a.  I don’t have as nice a camera as she does…although, neither does she anymore.
2.  I grew this sunflower myself.
I’m sure that little bit of a snark is going to come back to bite me in pest/bug infestation next [...]

Yeah Obama-mania is waning…

July 18, 2008

…only in the fever dreams of Fox News.
June is 2nd best fundraising month for Obama campaign

July 16, 2008

Of course, we are heading out to Washington Wine Country soon and now the Freakanomics Guy comes out with this study that regular people (like you and me) can’t tell the difference between expensive wine and the cheap stuff.
This is not a surprise to me.  I’ve been to wine tastings where I could tell there [...]

Balls: Another Reason to Love The Internets

July 11, 2008

This post at Boing Boing is the reason I read comment threads.  The post itself is about a $15 product at Amazon.com that claims to fix things like “Bat Wing”, a male-specific problem (see comment #6 for an explanation).  But the comments are even better than the stupidity of the post itself.

My Current Project

July 8, 2008

The life of a freelancer is a series of busy weeks separated by long months of nothing to do.
So I am finding other ways to spend my time (between constantly looking for new work).  Some of the things I am working on are actually professionally related.  But mostly I am doing jobs around the house [...]

Completely Addictive Game

July 7, 2008

While The Wife sits beside me playing with a Rubix cube (and no, that is not a euphamism for anything) I sit playing this game:  Sunny Day.
It’s really very simple.  Click once to open the umbrella.  Click again to close it.  Land on car tops to stay in the game.  The more cars for each [...]
