I’ve kept you all on the edges of your seats for long enough. After MacBook met water last week, it has been running like a champ since yesterday morning.
SuperDuper! saved my ass and allowed me to work for a week and let the MacBook really, really dry out. Popped the battery in and [...]
I was pleasantly surprised to hear the Oscar announcements this morning and the nominations lavished upon Minnesota-tied No Country for Old Men and Juno. Unfortunately I have yet to see Juno, but I can vouch for No Country for Old Men. What an excellent movie.

Got this idea from MeanE and I like it. The first sentence from the first (real) post of each month of the past year. Yay!

Soak it in.

A little video Friday for you.

Scrawlers, an online writing workshop I helped build, includes a blog. Rather than build the blog from scratch, or even use a Rails solution, I chose to stick with the familiarity of WordPress. I’d read enough about Rails-lovers switching to a Rails-based engine and back [...]
