Twitter Updates for 2009-02-28

Good morning, Internet. Lots to get done today, and I hope I can get through it all. Whoo! #
That is SO freaking Raven. #
Wow. I’m in a room, by myself, with two children and two cats. I think “Wranglin’” might be the correct term. #
I’m looking over the 15 albums that [...]

Today, I will bring it to this thunderstorm. Unless it’s over before I leave for work. I hope it’s over before I leave. #
AAAAAFFFFTEEEER THE RAIN/WASHES AWAY THE TEARS/AND ALL THE PAIN… Looks like the storm’s over. Time to hop on the bike. #
Preparing to get down to it. Am I [...]

This is the Easy Part, Right?

So, my daughter is nearing two weeks old, and nothing particularly exciting has happened since she’s been born.  She exited the womb able to lift her head and sort of push up with her arms when placed on her stomach, and that was kind of exciting.  I’m told that “at birth” is pretty early for [...]

Try This Beer

I’m well aware that I don’t try a new beer in the way that is generally accepted to be “correct.” The first thing I do when I crack one is stick my nose in the bottle. Usually, the beer smells more or less the same as it does after it’s in the glass. Not so [...]

is up a bit early to start getting ready to work. Hmm… to goof around on the Internet, or to go for an extra-long bike ride… #
Yeah, it’s looking like I’m going for the extra-long ride. 50 deg. outside already. It should not be this warm outside in February. #
Getting ready to [...]

Have You Subscribed?

I found myself wondering the other day as I was going through the analytics for the traffic on this site how many of you are using the RSS feature that exists with blogs.  I’ve been using Google Reader for about two years now, and I can honestly say that using RSS readers has materially changed [...]

I Like Dickies Long Sleeve Work Shirts

Years ago, I used to wear Dickies work shirts just about every single day.  After a while, I stopped.  Recently, I dug ‘em out of the back of the closet and got back into them again.  They’re good looking, warm, and perhaps most importantly, they are stylistically versatile.  Specifically, they look pretty good with a [...]

Ooooh–I got an extra two hours. This is exciting. However, I think that I’m up for good. Afternoon nap may be in order. #
Today’s my last day off… gotta go back to the grindstone tomorrow morning. It’s gonna be weird, you know? #
I’m watching last night’s Daily Show while Le Bebe [...]

Have You Read My Novel Yet?

As some of you probably know, I wrote a novel about a punk rock band on tour called Five Satellites. I’m pretty proud of it and encourage you to give it a read, if you’re interested in reading the best punk rock novel you’ll come across in a long, long time. It’s downloadable [...]

Winnie the Pooh

Every Wednesday, I pass along a singular piece of useless information. If you have useless information you want to share, no matter the topic, post it in the comments.
Winnie the Pooh was a real bear.  He was purchased by a Canadian serviceman from a hunter in Ontario for $20 (presumably in Canadian dollars).  The serviceman [...]

Cabin Fever

Since the arrival of our first child, Le Wif and I have spent the last week and a half or so at home, alone, with very few visitors.  Given that we’re taking care of Le Bebe, it’s been difficult for us to get out, and we’re starting to gnaw at our hands a little bit [...]
