So, oddly enough, whenever we’re remotely low on cash, I find money. Today was no exception. A pile of cash was chillin’ outside of our building as we walked out to go food shopping, discussing the week’s budget. There was a neon post-it note attached, so we put up a note saying we’d found some money, and wanted to do the right thing, so please call us and let us know how much you lost and what the note we found with it said. keep reading »

It’s nice to know I’m not the only person who’s totally weirded out by the fast food ads that arbitrarily mix sex in with their sandwiches. When I think of sex sandwiches, I think of that as a euphemism for a threesome, or, conversely, a serious and disgusting food safety violation.

In Dan Neil’s LA Times article, he talks about just how bizarre these ads get – you’ve probably seen some of them: keep reading »

I never really bought into the idea that college was such a radically different experience from grade school. I figured it was much the same  – a place people went because they were supposed to, and it kept them out of trouble for the most part.

I’m working on a new, exciting project that’s also top secret in addition to the other top secret project. Too many secret projects. It’s so hard not to spill the beans.

It will be fun to start working on something I’m really into and not have to worry too much about getting sued. Woo. keep reading »

Michael: I need some company. I’ve been tinkering, and I need someone to stop me before it goes too far. I was on the iMac, and I was like this fan system blows. I wonder what it’s like without the back on.  now it’s up on books with no back
me: oh boy
Michael: but dude it runs awesome
me: that’s great, babe!
Michael: the hard drive is like 15 degrees cooler, the fan isn’t loud
me: that’s awesome
Michael: unfortunately it’s sitting on books and quite unsturdy. it’s leaning forward at like 5% and you have to use a quarter to jump start it. once I figured out how the power switch worked I was like this could be a problem, so I scotch taped a quarter onto a pencil and wore the rubber dish cleaning gloves
me: i’m coming home very soon.
Michael: sounds good, then we can brainstorm a support system
