Listening to Cory Doctorow’s podcast gets you more than fiction. He often drops in audio from his live readings, convention panels, and interviews. During a recent event he was asked about his sub 2 year old daughter, Posey. He then performed an impression of her saying “No Thank You!” (I heard the capital letters during [...]
In the grand tradition of the Internet, I’ve started up a fund to right a wrong. Jared Axelrod is one of the most creative people I’ve ever met. He is simply awesome. About a year ago he purchased my old Apple G4 Powerbook from me. I was really excited at the prospect of him being [...]
My friend, Greg Seidman, has released his first game for the iPhone. Circuits, is a cool game where you rotate parts on the board trying to form a circuit before time runs out. I’ve been testing the game for months and I really love it. You can find out more about Circuits here.
The game is addictive. [...]

Here’s the latest ultrasound pics. My little girl is going to break some hearts.
Nat came over Saturday and helped Martha and me paint the nursery. We went for primary colors and geometric shapes. It’s bright and happy.

I present the conclusion of the loan for my ‘98 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Bought it on a 6 year loan, paid it off in 4.5 years. Got rid of it when I won a Pontiac Aztek. Sold both of them and bought Famous Blue, my ‘05 Prius.
Here are the latest pictures from our June ultrasound.

There has been a bit of a debate going on between myself, Christ Lester, and Jared Axelrod. Jared started it all on his Voice of Free Planet X Episode 136: It’s Called A Power Suit For A Reason. And then picked it up again in that week’s feedback Episode 137: Feedback And Forth. Chris Lester [...]
Here are my photos from Balticon 42. I had a great time. It was tons of work but all the awesome people who showed up and gave their all made it worthwhile.
These photos are now available on my Flickr.
I’m sorry to say I just can’t keep up with the greater conversation on Twitter anymore. In order for Twitter to continue to be of value to me I must cut back on who I’m following. I hate to do it. There are a ton of people out there with good information and interesting lives. [...]
I found this on Digg today and just couldn’t contain myself. This must be shared.

Sometime in early October, Martha and I will be adding a very small person to our household. That’s right–we’re pregnant. Not quite in the traditional way, but pregnant none the less. We’ve been working on Sekret Projekt Kingfisher for a long time, and all our hard work is finally coming to fruition.
It’s been a long [...]
I drive a Prius. My wife drives a Prius. We’re proud of the fact that our cars get high mileage and are inexpensive to own and operate. We’re also proud to be doing something for the environment.
The Prius is a great car, but it could be better. In many other places where the Prius is [...]
