February 2008
asthma crisis managed. Boy is fine now. O2 sats are normal. Praise Zoraster for Albuterol.
Meeting wife @ hospital with asthma-boy. Too much drama.
At the infamous snowboard shop again. Been “dude-d” and “rad-ed” twice already. This place is like blog fodder manna from heaven.
January 2008
I just re-read something I wrote about my kids and I started to tear up. Must be about to get my period. Wait… that didn’t come out right.
The absolute *worst* pain in the world? Stepping on a Lego with bare feet in the dark while trying to wake up a 9 yr. old boy.
I love Photoshop tutorials that begin: “First, open up Photoshop. Next…” Wait. what? I’m lost… We better start this again. Do what, now?
Someday I will make a ho-jillian dollars by inventing a device that keep track of children’s shoes.
Dad’s fav old joke: Meanwhile back at the Ranch… Tonto, not knowing that the Lone Ranger had disguised himself as a bush, clipped his twig.
Ran out of soap and had to use 13 yr. old boy’s “Ax” body wash. I smell like a 13 yr. old boy. But watch out ladies, now I’m a chick magnet!
just made my Apple sales-droid *very* happy. 10 new Mac Pros winging their way here Real Soon Now™.
Disturbed beyond belief because my sweet little 4 yr. old is singing “don’t you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?”
@iboughtamac good luck! remember to breath!
@chockenberry is this the form where I can complain about twitteriffic ads? :-]
Overheard while walking to the Library by guy on cell phone: “I’m sorry I called your grandma a whore.” Pause. “Yes, but she came on to ME!”
Came home and my wife was using an Xbox controller (wired) as a jump rope.
My AmEx card smells funny now: http://tinyurl.com/2jyhgs
going to my meeting wherein I ask for loads of money. Wish me luck and the ability to speak coherently. :-]
Asking for money to buy things @ 2. Should have worn my “Hey! I deserve funds” clothes, instead of my “I’m a pathetic stumble bum” ensemble.
someone called me gay just because I have Madonna’s “Immaculate Collection” in my iTunes Library. I’m not gay, just a very, very 80s child.
iTunes Shuffle Failure #75: Escape (The Piña Colada Song) just came up. Seriously, I think co-workers are sneaking this junk onto my machine
pretty sure Fred Thompson can’t officially drop out until the Writers’ Strike is over. Who’s going to write his lines?
This weekend my son stepped on my glasses and killed them. Thinking about getting a monocle and channeling Colonel Klink/Werner Klemperer.
Interesting. iTunes Movie rental expired while playing. Movie still playing. Nice that it doesn’t just die mid-play. Can still pause, too.
OK, that’s pretty cool. iTunes just popped up and told me that my rented movie expires in 117 minutes. Exactly the length of the movie. neat
@hotdogsladies plus… where else are you going to throw up BESIDES your mouth? Even if it’s “just a little
Today theme song should be: “Where the streets have no LANE” by U2. Snow plows can’t keep up. I-80 is a total disaster right now.
transferred 28 GB during load test last night. Yeah, that’s going to work out. HELLA fast. Still, willing to bet money that no one notices.
holy crap… just increased our bandwidth here @ the studio almost 6x. Right now getting 7MBit speeds. nerdgasm ensuing
sitting in a hot data center… pounding on stuff…
I love when it the client yells at me because she can’t access HER COMPANY’S ftp server. Warm fuzzies abound
4 year old called me a “booger-face” on the way to her pre-school this morning. But I think it came from a place of love.
@dunstan they fold different denominations of paper money differently to distinguish. Generally also use lower denomination bills
@emmastory how did you do?
OK, now I feel bad for calling my cute 4 year “a total goober-head.” But really, she had it coming.
having an argument with my 4 year about frozen cheesecake. “I WIN, you little goober! You know why I win? BECAUSE I KNOW HOW TO READ!”
faster IntarWebs being installed right now here @ the studio. trying not to say “squee” too often or too much, but it’s very hard.
I think Apple’s iPhone Update Servers are melting down into component parts about right now. 3 hours for a 162 MB file on a fast connection.
just tried to buy a new MacBook and the Apple Store told me “What are you, a complete MORON?”
My “Steve-note” predictions: http://tinyurl.com/2fmd3c Three posts in one day… that’s like a record or something for me.
Co-worker in staff meeting: “I’m pregnant! Yay!” Me: “Do you know who the father is?” Yet another reason why I should keep my mouth shut.
iPhone + WiFi = a staff meeting I can live through.
Co-worker1: “Are we going to have a [name of hateful, evil job that is finally done] bon-voyage party?” Co-worker2: “I brought cupcakes!”
@Moltz yes.
About to run 8 miles with my wife. See my site for the address where to send condolences as I’m likely to be dead in 2 hours.
Wife is reading to our 4 year old. What is she reading? Selected excerpts from a brief in a tort case she’s trying. My head: exploding.
