It’s so very good to be able to walk again. I still have to take things pretty slow, and the tendons in my ankles are very sensitive (sometimes pivoting on one heel will make them sting like Satan) but otherwise I’m able to get around fine now. I even made it up 3 flights of […]
When we lost my grandmother last week, we regained my grandfather, if only for this week. He came to spend the Xmas holiday with us and enjoy home and hearth with his daughter (my mother) and family for the first time in much, much too long. It was very good to see him again, but […]
Jimminy Cricket!!
Bill has spilled the goods on Windows XP security vulnerabilities and it ain’t pretty. I can’t believe that yesterday I had to sit through a movie theater pre-show advertisement depicitng Windows XP users literally flying about their cubicles (thanks to their new found software’s liberating power) and today I read this:

Lord of the RingsAwesome
I don’t want to say too much… I enjoyed it thoroughly and found it both faithful and inventive in bringing the book to life. My thanks to Nirav for taking 27 Epinionators to go see it. Taking 27 people to a busy theater in SF on opening day would seem an undoable […]

Sheez. If you read this article in Salon and know what a cam girl is, I thought you might want to see a real-world example of a wishlist-plugging net strumpet in action. Good God. This chick used to keep a blog. Now she just shows her bra every 4 to 6 weeks and waits for […]
I do a lot of it these days. 30-45 minutes to work and 30-45 minutes home. Sometimes an hour. On a spectacular day I am at work in 18 minutes.
Driving fascinates me and always has. It’s a daily form of mass communion with one’s fellow citizenry. If you think that sounds mad, consider how […]
Whew. Got home on Saturday morning to find that Excite had pulled the plug on my cable modem. Zero access for an entire weekend. As expected, this resulted in feelings of isolation, counter-productivity, dizzyness, and ultimately near-insanity by Sunday night. With the power going out periodically, the internet going out all at once, and […]
