The atrium at work is covered over with ice and snow. It’s too cold up there for it to thaw from the inside. [Flickr photo] Ginny I can has iPhone? Via: Flickr Title: Frostydome By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 15 Jan ’09, 9.54am CST PST

With the windchill, it’s something like -30. I’m wearing Lycra running pants under my jeans. I’m too sexky for my PANTS. Ginny I can has iPhone? Via: Flickr Title: Ten Below Zero By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 15 Jan ’09, 8.10am CST PST

Aw, Prince Puckler’s Ice Cream! I miss Eugene a little, reading about Obama’s visit to Oregon. He really should come back when they start making the fresh fruit ice creams. They had a ripe, natural peach flavor that was a cupful of heaven. This post was inspired by this. Prince Puckler’s offers some sweet summer music – Pulse

This post is in response to a blog post at Newsarama, but there was an error preventing me from commenting. Most of the original post is about a DC Comics character, and guest casting for this character on an upcoming episode. For those of you who don’t know what a redshirt is, it’s Star Trek lingo for easily expendable cannon fodder, usually ones who bite the bullet ahead of icons like Picard and Kirk. And perhaps the most famous redshirt was Wesley Crusher, played by Wil Wheaton, possibly the most annoying role in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Well, Comics…

If you live in Centerville, Utah, why yes. Yes, they do: Police say a man’s gun fell out of its holster while he pulled up his pants after using the bathroom at a Carl’s Jr. restaurant Tuesday. The gun fired when it hit the floor and shattered the commode. Sure, hilarious. Man takes dump, holster in dropped trou has a fail, gun shoots crapper, and then you have water and poo and broken porcelain throne all over the floor. This photo, by the way, is a great perspective shot, and I hope the photographer washed his hands and clothes after…

The image in the header is randomly displayed from my Flickr sets. Go ahead, refresh! Hey, it’s from our trip to Hawaii! No, it’s Rocky Mountain National Park! Wait, now it’s family members! Yay! Click on any page, gawaaaan. I just hope there aren’t too many clinkers in there that turn out to be resized and don’t fit the frame. No Photoshoppery needed, I just selected the best of my full size, uncropped images with a special tag, modified a Flickr “photo badge,” and the images are then re-sized to fit the background frame with CSS. Thanks, Theme Hack and…

Doyce, whose blog posts I read most often at one remove via the miracle of quotes and feeds, starts it off: I’m actively communicating online all day, every day, but my main blog languishes. Why is that? Simplicity. Twitter tweets, facebook updates, Flickr photo posting, and sharing news articles with commentary… all of those things are easier and faster BY AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE than posting via Movable Type. Via What it boils down to is this… – doycetesterman And ***Dave carries it forward: Now, I don’t do Facebook, and have never had a justification (see below) for using Twitter.…

It was the first full week of work after the Christmas/New Year’s holidays, it was the first full week as a true member of my new work team (gradually, all the little hold-overs and pending stuff have dropped away), and it was my first full week of relatively good health after getting through a nasty, brutish, but mercifully short bout of sinus infection-with-cough. It was a good week, all told. I like my new team, and I’m having a lot of fun with my new neighbors. I feel like the last… five years or so on my original team has…
