Mystery

So not only does my employer possbily have issues with certain people, but he also hates Dead Presidents as well.

This Has Gotten Old

Furnace broke again yesterday. Someone (I’m guessing one of the 15 children), left the inside garage door open all day yesterday. My Dashboard widget says it’s 21° F outside.

It’s 46° F in the house right now.

Hard to type with mittens on.

This is some kind of runaway bad karma for something, I’m sure.

Weirdness

the site will look odd until I can figure out what’s happening.

I moved a server and things are going a bit kablooey.

*UPDATE*
I’ve fixed the weirdness that was happening.

Any residual weirdness is probably related to the content and not the server stuff :-]

*UPDATE 2*
The image gallery is not working properly. I’ll get to it. I just have to migrate some code over.

*crosses fingers*

Apple Porn, Part Something

The arrival of the UPs guy, our new favorite person

UPS guy unloading… and his booty!

Grab ‘em while they are still cold from being in a truck!

Seriously, I haven’t seen the designer this excited since Veer introduced Neutraface.

See, we got TEN, and they are almost all spoken for

Unpacking

More dis-robing

My desk. Still messy, but dang, that thing is big!

And we have one bad screen (click to enlarge)

Had to do it

So… I shaved.

Though EVERYONE has said that I look better with the beard than without, I decided to shave last night. For two reasons.

1) It was bugging me. So I chose comfort over cosmetics.

2) Reha said she missed the “old me.”

Either of those reasons was enough, even though I do kind of like the way the beard looked on me. It’ll come back.

But we need to have photos of the shaving event!

First we have me with the full beard: (needs a trim and I desparately need a haircut)

Next we have the desultory hipster goateee:

Next we move into territory where no man should tread. The scary leather 70s gay biker look. I walked out and Reha HAD to turn away it scared her so bad.

and

Next we have the “look I shall never, ever sport, unless I lose a bet,” the mustache:

“Now that’s a spicy meat-a-ball!”

Next is what I like to call “the would you buy a used car from this guy?” shot:

Finally we have how I look right now and how I’ve looked for a while. Kind of disappointing, isn’t it?

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
