• Jumping for a Good Cause

    Jumping for a good cause
    I got an email over the weekend from my 7-year-old brother Joey telling me about that he’ll be jump roping at school this week to raise money for The American Heart Association. If you’re willing and able, he’s got a fundraising page where you can donate. (Unfortunately the credit card form only accepts payment from American addresses so I’ve just sent my donation to Mom via PayPal. If any other “furriners” want to help, let me know and I can give you her PayPal info.) Good luck, Joey! It’s awesome that you’re doing such a nice thing.

    @Timmay83 Look for my jumper! Cabled grey one with a red ribbon on the front. (Strung up with fishing line, the bastards.) 🙂


    Mega productive. Got heaps done on M&S website, knitted, cleaned house, visited w/ guild cabal. Now: rain, wine, & Snook’s beer bread. YUM.


    My little brother Joey is jumping rope at school this week to raise money to fight heart disease. Please donate to him! http://bit.ly/ZmDjs


    Hm. Went to buy 1st Diet Coke in months and learned price had dropped. It’s like they WANT me to drink it.

  • Creme That Egg!

    Creme That Egg! Awesome Rube Goldberg machine some guy created as part of a contest. My favorite part is how it’s basically all made out of cardboard, books, and trash he found lying around his apartment. (Link courtesy of Max.)

    Just completed a 5.22 km run with @runkeeper, check it out http://bit.ly/anppP #runkeeper


    Went for a 5K training run. Can’t let my Bay Run team down! Which reminds me – me, @Timmay83, @shanea, and Stef need a team name. Ideas?


    @mrs_sockvictim Got to chapter 2 of Red Mars last night. It’s REALLY good! Starts you in an exciting bit then jumps back several years.


    Productive Easter. Ran, knitted, & got loads done on TC site. (Glad I decided to go back to osCommerce 2.2.) Last day to sleep in…

    Walking to Chippo Farmers’ Market to pick up veggie box and then Glebe Markets to check out @knitness’s stall. I love our neighborhood.


    We eventually found @knitness’s stall! To the left when you come in, not far from the fence. http://twitpic.com/34scf


    Stupid Quadrahosting is down again. The universe is telling me to play Guitar Hero instead of working.


    @shanea Srsly. Unfortunately whenever I ask for a host that doesn’t suck, no one can think of one. I think they all do. 🙁


    I’m Mr. Brightside.


    Quadrahosting is kill me. 3 outages in 24 hours! Are there any hosts that don’t completely suck? MY KINGDOM FOR A NON-SHITTY WEB HOST.


    @mrs_sockvictim Feeling bleak? “The Road” by Cormac MacCarthy. Going to be a movie soon. Made me cry and cry. May shatter your world.


    Okay, I’m giving up on osCommerce 3.0. Non-optimised query was taking 200s. Cutting my losses and going back to old version.


    @mrs_sockvictim I can lend you it. I downloaded “Red Mars” free ebook last night. Famous sci-fi. Just started it. We could have read along!


    Awake. Barely. Happy Easter. We’ll be spending the day exactly as we spent the previous two. (Snookums is raiding in Azeroth right now.)
