teaching Nik how to cook french fries.
January 2009
sitting at the kitchen table, while the marinara sauce simmers, laying out a Content Management System (aka an easy to update web site).
i’m trying to bookmark more of the Twitter tools i find useful (http://bit.ly/TBRZ); i also tweet about and follow them at @Essentials.
best endorsement from a girlfriend, ever: “Your kisses are nicer than butt wounds.” - @Natterjack (take note, ladies.)
nothing saves frees up hard drive space like deleting bad movies.
watching “Dune” (2000 mini-series). NIK: pleeease end this scene! ME: there will only be another after it.
one of those focused li’l apps that makes me wish i could use an iPhone is @Instapaper, as per @Goobimama/@SmokingApples: http://bit.ly/o0rh

not long after learning to walk, arguably Nik’s first friend and peer was Sam Cooper. here’s his first solo music video: http://bit.ly/JqyA

water running off the roof like a bath tub overflowing, tectonic drapes of ice dangle four feet below the eaves like soaked sails in a calm.
dressing in layers, heading out into the cold snowy night, to see if the WiFi antenna is iced up.

agreeing with @ForkMantis, the Mother Of All Passwords should be one MOTHER of a strong password (or passphrase). and unlike your others.
the password to your database of passwords is the one password you should keep only in your meat memory, don’t you think @Willia4?
quiet makes me wonder / how does each layering inch / deepen snowy silence?
the winter pears remain crisp but juicy, sweet but not cloying.
occasionally bouncing, (mostly) balancing on a big blue exercise ball draped with a soft sheepskin to warm my bum on this snowy eve.
for that matter, i spend more time creating web sites for my clients than building up my own. (gotta get to that, some day.)
the email accounts, services & filters i set up for clients are more up-to-date & simpler than the elaborate old system i still use myself.
the problem with letting your employees take the weekend off is they think they can spend 2 whole days doing whatever they feel like doing.
that no paying work was performed by Mykl.biz this weekend tells you i have no (other) employees.
i seem to have spent my entire weekend honing my CSS editing skills. that this was fun surely labels me a design dork.

~ agitated and pacing beneath the barren apple tree, big-boned crows loiter like corner drug dealers, their parkas ruffled, the stash empty.
a ribbon of newly hardened gray ice segmented by uncounted parallel cracks, the river looks like the zipper on a camouflage jacket.

Do you know that scene in The Matrix, where a bald kid bends a metal spoon with nothing more than his quiet gaze? The superhero protagonist is stymied when he attempts it, until the child shares…
