8/21/06: Post 1.009 I walked into the Sprint store last week with a very simple and straightforward goal: turn our existing three cell phone lines on two different carriers into two lines with Sprint. It is a long and convoluted story, but Michele and I had two existing numbers on Sprint, and I had another [...]
8/19/06: Post 1.008 I am the Information Technology department in our household. For the most part, it’s a pretty simple gig. The hours are good, the pay is below average, but my job security is pretty tight. I’m not extremely savvy in the ways of engineering, but I know enough to get by. I’ve always [...]
8/13/06: Post 1.007 It has been an insanely crazy, busy week, and I got completely, regrettably sidetracked from all that I was going to write about. Every time something good would happen, I’d get slammed a little too hard to write about it. For example, on Thursday we visited Rebecca Beeson’s studios South of Market [...]
8/4/06: Post 1.006 I’ve been a fan of rap and hip-hop since I heard a young lad rapping his version of The Rapper’s Delight to friends in a Miami park back in 1979. Run DMC’s first album changed my life, and Grandmaster Flash cuts so on that his Zodiak sign is Capricorn. Though the decades [...]
7/30/06: Post 1.005 Ah, Sunday in The City. Sunday anywhere is pretty darn nice, but my Sundays in San Francisco have a special quality about them. When away on vacation or traveling for work Sundays are nice, but certain things are always just a little bit off. In other cities the comics in the paper [...]
7/27/06: Post 1.004 Michele and I used to go to Burning Man every year. Between us we’ve been going for eleven years, which is an impressive way of saying she’s been seven times and I’ve been four. The first year we camped together Michele and I built an art installation that got placed in a [...]
7/23/06: Post 1.003 Sleep is not overrated. After extensive and ongoing experimentation by my son, gravity continues to function as theorized; especially on spoons, water bottles, O’s, hats and sunglasses. The amount of poop in the diaper will be inversely proportional to your preparedness for it. Always carry at least one spare change of baby [...]
7/20/06: Post 1.002 Michele, Ryder and I recently returned from a week on the South shore of Kauai. In our past lives, pre-parenthood, Michele and I were the traveling types. We liked to go places and spend long days exploring; build art and take it to Burning Man, then build more art; spend the last [...]
7/17/06: Post 1.001 First and foremost I need to thank Tim Crescenti. I’ve been meaning to start writing for years now, and keep finding reasons to put it off. Tim is the man who finally got me off of my ass and on to the keyboard. Tim is the man who looked out across the [...]
