It’s eight days in and my “finish the novel the hell up” month doesn’t seem to be going to plan. In fact, this slow down of the past week and a half is depressing. I can’t get in the rhythm or the mood for it these days. I keep napping. I keep getting easily distracted. [...]

An obligatory life update
Posted in being a grown up, to do, tagged IKEA, new york city on Thursday 28 August 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Summer is almost over and it’s strange. It’s been a long one, or so it’s seemed, but pleasant. We haven’t had tremendously hot days as I recall many of last summer’s days as being but rather a lot of cool 78 to 85 degree days with breezes and bright sun. I’ve been wearing lots of [...]
We’ll miss you, Randy Pausch

Bryan called me and told me earlier that today Randy Pausch passed away from complications due to pancreatic cancer. Carnegie Mellon has a lovely article on their main site today about him. It’s terribly sad. I’m just glad he was able to give and record his last lecture as well as the amazing feat of [...]

I realized the other day (wow, when I initially typed that I spelled it ‘realise’) that I rarely if ever talk about anything having to do with real life, except for the occasional paragraph. Well, here’s a whole entry. Yesterday Bryan and I watched the DVD of 27 Dresses and I felt compelled to blog [...]

If you know me personally then you know that I graduated from Carnegie Mellon last May. I’ve written about it a bunch of times (click the tag down there on the right that says “Carnegie Mellon” and you’ll see what I mean) and naturally it’s responsible in a large way for who I am. I [...]
The internets.

Sometimes I forget how savvy I am with teh internets (haha) compared to a lot of people. I’m NOT an expert — LET ME REPEAT, NOT AN EXPERT — but I sure know a hell of a lot of things. Like HTML. Like what PHP is, like what a MySQL database is… how to edit [...]
Pre-carpal tunnel.

Frick, as Elliot on Scrubs would say.
My wrist has been aching for two and a half days now and I’m really annoyed. I didn’t typically mind pain growing up in the sense that sometimes it got me out of doing things I didn’t want to do but, well, I don’t think that excuse is ever [...]
