I had to work to the bitter end on Christmas Eve, after getting off early a couple of days in [...]

This card was waiting for me when I got home – THANKS, DEBBIE!!! I love it!
It was a really early start – I had to be in the office by 7am as I’d switched shifts with someone. And it was my birthday, and it was my day to keep an [...]

As you might have guessed, I was shopping for a video card. Mission accomplished (just barely).
UPDATE: Okay, yes, I just spent the last 10 days since buying the brand new computer trying to figure out a way to upgrade it for better performance in Second Life, which is ironic considering that I’ve never bothered [...]

… they’re the American uniform at home and abroad.
UPDATE: Just wanted to add what inspired this:
And Far Away | Footwear that should be burned and buried

We are a globeful of dopamine addicts. We endlessly seek and never find the newest new thing.
Slate: Seeking
Seeking. You can’t stop doing it. Sometimes it feels as if the basic drives for food, sex, and sleep have been overridden by a new need for endless nuggets of electronic information. We are so insatiably curious [...]

Second Life provides virtual meeting space, may replace millions of airline seats annually someday. May need to learn building skills in SL beyond rezzing a box… New World Notes: What the US Navy’s Undersea Warfare Center Is Doing in SL (Updated)

There’s been another upgrade to Second Life, and I haven’t been online consistently in a couple of months. So I went online today to check in, pay rent, sort inventory; boring stuff to some, but for some reason the purposelessness is relaxing to me.

Right, right, right…. some actual blogging, rather than mere links shared lazyblogged via Google Reader.
It was a late start, but David had made some good, strong coffee (and didn’t have to be prompted via Twitter) and I got to church in time for most of choir practice. I’d gotten word that the father of [...]
