Toad

I went strawberry picking with some friends on Sunday, and this cute little guy was hanging out in the patch.

Site layout

8 May 2009 | Life | No Comments

I’ve been wondering if the layout of this site is in need of changing. I like the minimalist look, and haven’t found any other WordPress templates that are really minimalist in the same way at all, but what do others think of it? I won’t comment on it being too simple to keep readers’ interest, [...]

Caffeine.

16 December 2008 | Life | No Comments

Do I have an addiction to caffeine? I love coffee to no end. I love the taste; I love the smell; I love the varying characteristics of varietals; I love the dark, smooth taste of espresso and hot soymilk; I love the way it makes me feel. I’m not addicted to coffee, though. I can [...]

Maybe

13 December 2008 | Godlessness, Life | No Comments

Maybe the reason I’m so bad at keeping my blog posts up to date is that I’m terribly lazy about linking. Most blogs discuss news, other blogs, or various things on the web, and link to them give the reader info/background on the subject. I’m terribly lazy about linking. If it were easier to simply [...]

Color laser.

18 April 2008 | Art, Life | No Comments

I picked up a Xerox Phaser 6100 color laser printer at The Brown Elephant thrift shop today, for $25. Quite a steal. It looks to maybe need a new yellow toner cartridge, but all else is fine. Black toner has barely been used, as well. Time to get some high quality color laser paper and [...]

Chuck D is online, free.

And by Chuck D, I mean Charles Darwin. His complete writings are available free at Darwin Online. Oh, and this comic I got a good chuckle out of.

Long time, no sea.

I have missed the ocean recently. Karen and I really should plan a trip to Florida. Large updates: Karen and I were married one month ago today. One month and one day ago today I was promoted to Associate Team Leader. Things are going well in Chicago. I really need to write a great deal [...]

Update.

17 January 2007 | Life | No Comments

So, I’ve been quiet, I know. I’ve owed an update for many months, as well as a comment here or there. I haven’t updated my LJ, Myspace blog, nor my iw.electricbrainreserve.com blog in several months (not since July for that last one). What’s been going on with A., you wonder? Well, for starters, in September, [...]

Things.

1 July 2006 | Life | 1 Comment

While walking home from work tonight, there was the most beautiful moon. Nearly a sliver of a crescent, and deep orange. I wished I had my better camera with me. The zoom on my digital would not have been enough to capture the sight accurately. As I walked up Sheffield, I passed a ‘guy’ – [...]

Here I write

8 June 2006 | Life | No Comments

Today I have somehow found the motivation to write something. Minor updates of sorts, nothing spectacular or exceedingly fascinating here. I’ve been walking to and from work instead of taking the train. It’s 2.6 miles each way, about a 35-40 minute walk, depending on my energy. I’m glad to be getting some regular exercise, even [...]
