Few notes for a thursday morning….
First, Kevin had his latest oncologist appointment on Monday at which his doctor informed him that he is now “Grossly Normal”. As it turns out that means there is no sign of cancer.. YAY… The PET scan showed no signs of cancer anywhere in his body (let alone at the [...]
One of my favorite poems of all times.. I know its kind of common place and perhaps a little trite - but I don’t care… I like it
The Road Not Taken
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
[...]
Just a couple of quick things… First, Annik over at SlowGerman had a great podcast this week talking about German music and had some really great stuff… in particular, i just bought an album from Joy Delanane called Was auch Immer that I f-in LOVE… its a really cool combination of soul / R&B, south [...]
TOTALLY random post but I found this interesting so I figured I’d share… I’ve always known that the plural of attorney general was attorneys general and poet laureate was poets laureate but I’ve never known why… So I just found out why on this site:
The Chicago Manual of Style says that “hyphenated and open [...]
Last few weeks have been crazy in both good and bad ways…. So here is the run down…
Two or three weeks ago Kevin and I took a vacation to go visit family back east. Kevin left first and spent a week in North Carolina with his family an I came 4 days later to spend [...]

anyway… just makin me giggle.. I guess [...]

Quick weekend update.. Was a good one, despite the CRAPPY weather. Our buddy Ray from Calgary came down to visit on Thursday and stayed until last night. Had a rather mellow time - at least as compared to his trip down for Folsom a few years back which was crazy as you might expect - [...]
What ever happened to cars that were made to last. Its becoming more and more clear that these days even car companies that I would have considered reputable (Audi, Mercedes, etc.) are conducting business in a way that encourages people to replace their cars regularly.
Case in point. Our Audi just fell out of warrantee. While [...]
I spent the morning today reviewing resumes for summer intern candidates and all I can say is oh my LORD. They need to teach resume writing classes. I have never seen so many BAD RESUMES in my LIFE. I know these are all engineering resumes so expecting impecable presentation may be a bit much [...]
Killed some time with movies over the past few days and figured I’d pass along:
Pan’s Labyrinth - Saw this one with Drew and Adrian on Thursday night. Its a REALLY well done movie in Spanish about a little girl’s fantasy world that she uses to get her through a really horrible childhood after in post [...]
Something worth checking out

So, in case I haven’t mentioned it before, I have the commute of doom. I live in San Francisco and have a 45 mile drive every morning to haul my ass to Cupertino for work. I love the job and I love living in San Francisco so I don’t mind the commute - and i’m [...]
If anyone knows who stole the tip jar from Jumpin Java - kick their ass for me… Who steals a tip jar? Thats just bad karma if I”ve ever heard it - especially from my favorite-little-accross-the-street-coffee-shop…

I’m sorry.. I know I’m biased.. But this just pisses me off… For christ sake - just turn the damn things down.. Its not like they don’t have a volume dial on them. When I notice its too loud thats what I do. These people shouldn’t be pissed at Apple - they should be pissed [...]

Uggg… Its raining AGAIN… I actually kinda like the rain but even I’m getting a little tired of it… We’ve got this awful down spout outside of our bedroom window that is broken and the only time we remember about it is when the roof is slippery and its overflowing and pouring right on our [...]
