In action adventure novels there often comes a time when our protagonist can rid themselves of the Bad Guy. A proper hero-style protagonist will not kill the Bad Guy at this time. This allows for the book to contain more pages. It also allows the Bad Guy to kill some innocents or other Good Guys. [...]
I think it’s great that I can be sitting in a camp chair in my yard and watching our new puppy while blogging at the same time. Before you accuse me of ignoring her let me tell you that she’s currently napping in the shade. And the WordPress app for the iPhone supports using the [...]
We certainly didn’t need another dog. Hera is a great dog and aside from some minor craziness she has been a joy to have with us. Seeing how much she loves being with other dogs we thought that a packmate would be good for her. With that in mind we went out to find a [...]
Yesterday we went out to see the puppies at a local no-kill animal shelter. I should have known better. We ended up bringing 2 more dogs home. That makes 3 and I’m really sure that’s all. I really hope so. Pics later – we’re busy at the moment.
I wonder how many other WordPress blogs have similarly worthless posts from authors who just installed the native iPhone client?
On our recent trip to the American Southwest I lost data from a memory card. After importing a card into Aperture, I thoughtlessly erased the card in my camera before noticing Aperture gave an alert that it didn’t successfully import all of the images. Oops. The photos were gone as far as Finder could tell, [...]
We tend to eat when we’re on the road. Not more than usual (often the opposite) but we do still need to eat. Usually we can manage to stay in a hotel/motel that offers a complimentary continental breakfast (although the super-excellent Hampton Inn chain does complimentary hot breakfast!) but that leaves 2 meals. When I [...]
A little geography lesson for today courtesy of several Wikipedia pages and Gina: Mesas and buttes are pretty much just different names for very similar things. Both have steep sides and flat tops. Geographers tend to differentiate between the two based on a ratio of top size to height: “a mesa has a top that [...]
As a longtime Toten Chip cardholder, I firmly believe that everyone should have a good blade with them at all times1. I recently got a new Gerber single-handed knife. With a 5″ blade, it seemed to be a very useful knife. The only thing I wasn’t really sure about was the initial 2 inches of [...]
I just took drivership of a new 2008 Ford Escape hybrid. Let me just say that this is a very cool vehicle. It is also a little disturbing to see your tach go down below 0 when you’re driving. I love it when the car is idling at a light and it goes silent. I’m [...]
