Three and a half years I’ve gone, and the worst thing Grace picked up from me is the French word “merde”. However… Continue reading “Happy Father’s Day”
How hot was it?
It was so hot, I put the top up on my car.
How hot was it?
It was so hot, I put ice in my drink.
Grace is growing up too quickly
So, at the company picnic, Grace and I swam in the Blanco river for about two hours, and oh! is my foot aching!
I’m putting her to bed, and she asks about my toe. Yes, it’s still broken. Yes, it still hurts.
Grace:
What did you do when you broke your toe?
Me:
I said some daddy words
(actually, what I said was exactly “Motherfudger”, but she doesn’t even need to know to start from that one…)
G:
What were the daddy words?
Me:
I’m not going to tell you
G:
Just tell me
Me:
No.
G:

Long traffic jams in small Texas towns leads to cynicism
So, we’re going to my company picnic, and there was the big motorcycle rally in Austin this weekend…
And, of course, there’s a fatality. On I-35 southbound. On our way to the picnic.

Who’s been listening to my razor?
Breaking?
So, the pope has been dead for about 12 hours, and CNN is still calling it breaking news?
I blame it all on post-nine-eleven hysteria.
Remember naked bongo guy?
I can’t remember his name (unless specifically reminded), but The Smoking Gun has archived the address at which he was arrested for, well, playing bongos naked.
Keep Austin Wierd!
What a warm first day of spring
What a day for Grace to learn to ride her big girl bike! (The Dora one, not the Disney one.)
Grace rode her big girl bike around the block and to the park, then rode it back home after swinging and climbing for a while. 
Then, she rode around the cul-de-sac for a while.
Beautiful!
Why science is the best thing yet to explain things
Happy geek day!
Property? On ebay?
Geeks seldom differ
It’s nice to see that there are other people who keep links to their favorite Firefox Extensions.
Perhaps I’m just lazy by putting the latest versions of the ones I use in one place.
Not only do I keep my extensions locally (yet globally accessable), but I also keep my adblock configuration that way as well!
Kites are fun
Fantastic weather — too nice, in fact. Everyone, and I do mean everyone was at the Zilker Kite Festival today. That’s why we stayed home and enjoyed the Sun Tree Kite Festival.
