Today’s the second day of the rest of my life. Fourth if you count the weekend. Sixth if you count the full days Obama has been in office. First if you count the days since Kirsten Gillibrand will be my senator instead of my former congresswoman (crazy gerrymandered district hits the Christmas tree farm but [...]

This is the last of my draft posts that I wrote in the weeks preceding the official announcement that my company went out of business. This was written on January 13, 2008. And let me say it here first: I do wish she was a tad more progressive, but I’ll give her some leeway – [...]

You can’t spell “Breaucracy” without “cracy”, which is “crazy” mispelled, by the way.
From the draft pile of things I wrote before my company’s closing was public information. This post was started on January 5, 2009. Oh – and I just spent some time replying to all your comments this week, if that kind of thing interests you. Unemployment. You pay for it, and then it pays you [...]

You say Granola, I say Granula
As you may know if you’ve caught up on the blog since Monday, my company is going out of business. I’ve known about it for a while, but I wasn’t able to blog about it until it was official. This is a post that I originally wrote on December 10, 2009: Recently, I was phone [...]

Out, out damn pins
A quick re-cap if you’re just tuning in. The company I work for is going out of business. We’ve been sinking like the Titanic for months, but I haven’t been able to blog about it, because I didn’t want to spread rumors. But now the news is public, so this week I’m posting things I [...]

A time to break down, a time to build up
I do not want to write this post. My mission in blogging is to keep things light, with a side of funny. I want to write all about how excited I am for the new Presidential administration or how fantastic Marin Luther King, Jr. was. I want to re-enact things with dolls and chocolate donuts [...]

It’s too bad that Aaron is never around the internet anymore, because of all of you, I think he would like this the most. But I bet that some of you will still like this. Again, from Boing Boing: Star Wars as Retold by Someone Who Hasn’t Seen It. (Link to the original site, no [...]

More life!
I’m thinking about biking again when the weather gets nice, but the roads around here are really dangerous. Then I saw this item (via Boing Boing) that might just be the golden ticket I need to stay safe in the face of those crazy school bus drivers.

I think I got off at the wrong exit
Kottke really does have the best links. I posted this on Facebook earlier today, but in case you missed it there, here it is again. Funny video featuring a determined but confused sperm cell might just be a little NSFW, but probably only in Arkansas. As I mentioned on FB, this one will be especially [...]

Help Wanted
I know a lot of people are scared for their jobs, their careers, their 401(K). Some days I want to hide under my pillow, and some days I want to escape to a tropical island to live the simple life. (That can be done on no income, right?) Well, in case it can’t, this is [...]
