New Scanner!

Oh huzzah! Oh glorious day! My old scanner would not work with my new computer and I’ve been going mad trying to get work done without one. I just got it. I did some research and decided that I wanted an HP Scanjet 4670, and turned to ebay where I lost ten different auctions trying […]

Dinner and a movie

I had dinner with Jay Lake tonight, which was fun. It’s nice to catch up with someone, like, in real life, instead of just existing online. I love you guys, but it’s nice to see facial expression beyond an emoticon. That and Jay is funny. Afterwards, I went to see The Curse of the Golden

My fingers feel funny

I mentioned the wire and bark basketry I was doing for the monkeys heads, and that I was expecting my fingers to be sore. I was not expecting to form calluses so quickly. My fingers feel as if I’m wearing a thin pair of gloves on the tips. To other’s touch, they feel as if

Trained Monkeys

So, after getting back from building monkeys, I had to go online to try to cancel an eFax service. It’s not that I didn’t like the service, but it certainly wasn’t the best online fax service in the world. Plus, I’d already completed the project that I had intially purchased the service for. Here is

All Packed

I’m looking at my suitcase and wondering what security will think of it. For the monkey build, I’m taking my DeWalt radial sander, belt sander, three boxes of industrial hot glue and two shafts of nylon for milling parts. My other checked bag contains 8 bottles of Frameworks Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and a roll

Some disassembly required.

We took a load of furniture down to our storage locker today. As we were packing, we decided to take the mirror off the vanity from Dr. Walker’s (my great-grandfather) bedroom suite. It seemed like it would be safer to move and pack. Then today, Rob noticed that it further disassembles; the shelf between the

Hawaii

So. The day after I get back from New York, Rob and I will get on a plane and go to Hawaii. I can’t think of a better way to recover from building monkeys, can you? We’ll be there from February 23-March 1.

Two recommendations

I spent more time packing today and got a corner of the dining room cleared. Whew. Also, finished reading The Android’s Dream, by John Scalzi, which I really enjoyed. Good clean fun, which is something to say for a book that starts with a chapter-long fart joke. Rob and I took the bus over to

Studio

I went into the WRW recording studio today to get caught up on some of the audio work that I owe folks. I didn’t get it all finished, so Rob and I are hoping to head back down tomorrow at some point. (Thanks, Sam!) It felt good to get back in there, and I loved

Cracked filling

Look! My dentist managed to get the photo to me of my cracked filling. See that dark line across the filling in the lower tooth? That’s pretty obvious, even to a layman, huh? The tooth is now white and looks unblemished because we went with the composite for better bonding with what little original tooth
