Your Monster Profile Ultima Chemist You Feast On: Starbucks You Lurk Around In: Flocks of Freshmen You Especially Like to Torment: Hicks What’s Your Monster Name? In truth I am working on building some Solaris zones to serve Oracle and PostgreSQL databases, and anxiously awaiting time to go dance in Spring Showcase tonight.

The Fall

Original, beautiful, riveting. You want to see this work of art on the big screen. Many thanks to shalmestere for tipping us off to the existence of the film. We made a night of it with Curry n Kabob (Indian) food, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, and then two hours of sitting in air-conditioned theatre […]

The Fall

Thank you Shalmestere, for pointing out “The Fall” which looks like it will be fantastic. I need to drag Erci out for a change of pace anyway. http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/thefall/ Official Movie Site It is playing in Reston!

Woo Hoo, Mead on the way!

Erci makes some of the best mead I’ve ever had, and after several years of hiatus, she just started fermenting a couple of batches of the good stuff. One is made from BlackCap honey and wine yeast; and the other with Cranberry honey and champaign yeast. Both honeys are from The Bee Folks out of […]

Wow – this is just so… wrong!

Hat tip to co-worker Ben for sending the links. http://sadkermit.com/

For Erci‘s birthday we hooked up with friends and went to Maryland’s Sheep and Wool festival. I spent the day people watching and napping under the sweet gum tree near the performing artist’s pavilion, Erci and our friends shopped the hundreds of wool vendors, craft booths, and weaving, and knitting suppliers. We gorged on lamb […]

Indie Music

I am a big fan of independent artists and fresh, new music from innovative talent. A friend is helping several new artists get started at NewIndieArtists and they have links to samples of their music and CD Baby and iTunes in case you want to buy some music in either MP3 or CD format. While […]

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead

I am kind of intrigued by the upcoming: Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead which should appeal to Sutragirl as a vampire story and appeals to me because I loved the original “Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead” and the whole play within a play within a play thing (which reminds me of Being John Malkovich today). […]

Deal too good to be true?

I am about to find out if there is such a thing as a free thumb drive. Buy.com and Google Checkout have a deal going where you can knock $10 off the price if you sign up for Google Checkout when you buy something from Buy.com. Last week a co-worker (you rock Ben!) found this […]
