I have never, ever seen so much lighting! Just incredible. Probably 3-5 flashes per second, continuous. There was a huge storm cell that went over us (we were in a tornado warning) and then after it passed over it calmed down a lot, stopped raining, and we went out to watch the […]
Since MovableType has redone their licensing / pricing scheme, I’ve been on the lookout for a new blog system. I had been leaning toward WordPress but it’s still up in the air. In case anybody else is in a similar situation, here is a breakdown of several blogs available right now. (link curtosy […]
Well, I finally talked myself into trying for the candy last night, but it didn’t work out very well. I didn’t get a very good consistency at all — it was very, very, very gooey. The stickiest substance known to man — it stuck to wax paper like it was a shag carpet. […]

Well, I’ve made a few candies. I think I’m going to experiment a little and try my own recipe. I found something vaguely similar that I’ll use for a base, but deviate a bit. Will it work? I dunno. It might be terrible, it’s might be decent. Hopefully it […]

I don’t know how I slept last night, but it must have been all twisted up because when I woke up this morning (thankfully many hours after when I normally would — thanks to my actually having a weekend off! yay!) my back was killing me! This must be how a pretzel feels […]

When will this baby come! Jen’s at 6cm now, nearly fully effaced, and …. no baby! Not even her midwife can believe her water hasn’t broken yet. Jen must have the bag-o-steel in there….
But we had a terrific day! We tried to get some Chicago-style hot dogs but the elements […]

It was a little hot, but really a very nice day for a walk. We took the hilly trail, hoping Jen’s water would break, and also because it was the shady side of the trail. It was lovely! Very hot, but very lovely.
We also did some timing from the new house (which […]
Yay! The meeting was postponed again! This time it wasn’t a flooded basement, but one of the people we were meeting with has a wife going into labor. Uh, gee, I guess I can understand that! So I guess all my wishing for a baby to get me out of the […]

Well, it’s not so good. I don’t recommend it. Now, I might not be the best one to say that since I never loved the first one. Not that I don’t enjoy it when I sit in front of it and watch it. Hey, it’s funny, it’s touching. But as […]
I think my lack of motivation is partly due to the fact that today is our anniversary and I really just want to treat it as a holiday, partly due to the fact that it is a beautiful day outside and I know it, and partly due to the fact that my sister is in […]
Yay! Today is the three year anniversary of our wedding — happy anniversary Jen!! I am so incredibly lucky, and amazingly happy. I never knew how full life could be. I am so anxious to raise this child with you.

Well, I think I’m going to end up with a red office. That would be a good vibrant, stimulating color, and it would be a good meeting-point between my modern desk and decor and the traditional fireplace. It will also give me a good point to work from to go toward Japanese inspired […]
