So, if we go by the eventually allowed marriage certificate, Cy and I have been married a whole three months since yesterday.
If we go by our accounting, we’ve been together 30 years today.
The best part of my day? Telling Cy to go back to sleep while I help G with her homework. He’s earned a rest after 30 years, and I’m so proud that she is taking full responsibility for her own homework.
I couldn’t be happier with my family.

While Cy is rehearsing for SJB, I get to single-parent.
Tonight, I got to help not only with math, but with a book report as well. Her summer reading was a book we shared in her youth, and she needed some help identifying foreshadowing. In “Ender’s Game”.
I mean, come on. That’s TOO easy! She did everything except smack her forehead…
I like how things are coming together for “Stalking John Barrowman”…

So, under hobbies, I want to add:
Too soon?
Techster. Think “techie-hipster”. Exhibit A:
Using a cell phone, while wearing google glass, while riding a segway, while at SxSW. I believe this deserves another neologism: the quadfecta.

Still, this isn’t worse than the hot-pink sequined suit jacket that made G crack up when we first got off the train downtown…
Now, the world seems to be filled with slow-moving people taking pictures of stupid shit.
So every month or so, I try to dump all the bookmarks I made, especially for things I didn’t have time to comment on at the moment of discovery…
Over the course of two hours today, I received — and understand that I’m not making a word of this up — over 16,700 nearly identical, completely useless emails. An exact number is not possible to provide, as the rule I created to get rid of them kept finding more tucked away in my inbox for hours afterward.
Mental note that is obvious and axiomatic to my geek- and geek-friendly friends: Microsoft products do not scale as cleanly as open-source products. I’m referring specifically to outlook, here… Yes, when outlook crashed, it was the first time I had smiled in a few hours. It was a knowing smile.
After a fairly long first day, G called,
and insisted on a long-distance hug as I got to look at this view.
Yeah, it was a good day.
For the first time in five years, I am NOT carrying the on-call phone. It’s like a (very small) weight has been lifted!
You know, as much attention as the recreational pot in Colorado story is getting, you would think it was mandatory, and that by this time tomorrow, the only other surviving industry in the state will be pizza delivery.
It’s been much too long since I’ve cleaned out my bookmarks folder: here is the result:
If UNIX Were a Religion – Slashdot.
Speaking of which, does anyone know an easy way for me to get virtual desktops on a mac? I’m really quite used to a 4×3 setup, where the top left desktop is the web browser and all the rest are full-screen terminal windows.
