Time for a haircut?

Man my hair is getting long. When I got out of the shower today and combed it, I discovered my bangs fell just below my nose. This is officially the longest my hair has ever been. Maybe it’s time for a haircut, or at least a bit of a trim.

Tomato, Hummus, & Avocado Sandwich

I always find it interesting that when a given fruit or vegetable tastes the best is also when it is at its lowest price. Apparently that time is now for California avocados. For the last few weeks avocados have been below a dollar a piece and have been absolutely amazing. Besides using them for making […]

I love costume parties

Last night I went to a costume party. It was excellent. In fact it was possibly the best costume party I’ve ever been to. What made this better than the usual costume party was the several bins of costumes the hosts had in a back room. This ratcheted up the fun level in two ways. […]

Plug-in Testing

I’ve been continuing to add new features to the website. Some are to make it more user friendly, and others are to shore up the security of the site. A list (in no particular order) of the plug-ins I am experimenting with are:

WP-ContactForm by Ryan Duff. Purpose: Security. This creates a contact form. […]

The method is sound

Grey’s Anatomy fans, please don’t talk to me about the show this season. No, it’s not that I think the show is undeserving of being a part of our cultural dialogue. Rather quite the opposite. I’ve been enjoying the antics of Meredith and the Gang since the first airing of season one. […]

Hungry Nerds

T-Bone and I made a Fry’s run today. He was in need of a DVD recorder, and I was in need of something to do. Being as it was lunch, we decided to hit up Paradise 33 in Concord for some Vietnamese food. I have to say I was rather impressed by the […]
