Nerd Alert—Halloween Edition

Guess what we did at work today?

Carved pumpkins!

Sometimes working at a graphic design studio with drama queens is totally worthwhile.

Though I’m not a fan of pumpkin guts, it was a total kick to carve pumpkins with these guys. They aren’t all done, but I’ll have pics up tomorrow. Amazing stuff.

I went with something from my past. Very S-C-A-R-Y! But only if you hadn’t replaced the faulty power supply.

And in case my artistic talents leave something to be desired:

It’s a Mac Plus!

Sometimes I’m Right

“Can I eat my cereal in the living room, Daddy?”

“Ellis, just eat it here at the counter. I don’t want you to spill.”

“I won’t spill!”

She grabs the bowl off the counter and heads into the living room.

“OK. I won’t spill anymore.”

I Hate Snow Before Halloween

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for snow. I don’t mind winter. I love it as a matter of fact, probably because I loathe the heat and sun of summer. See in winter, you can just pile on more sweaters and mittens, until you get warm. But in summer, there’s only a certain amount of clothing you can take off and not have people stare at you at the grocery store. At least that’s been my experience.

Anyway, it snowed the other day here. And it’s just such useless snow, too. Too wet to stick to the ground and make it so the ski resorts open sooner, but it’s just cold enough that I have to scrap like crazy to clean off the car. It’s this slushy yuck. The eskimos probably don’t even have a word for it.

It was like it was precipitating a Slurpee out there.

IPO Not Coming

So I’ve started a small business. It’s an Internet thing. I’ll have more details once I figure out how to make PHP and MySQL do what I want them to do but for now I just have to say this:

It’s possible that I’m a bad manager. Do not ever hire me to do anything managerial, I’m pretty sure I’m not your guy.

I set aside a portion of my vast stock holdings (ha!) for this venture, in order to pay for web hosting, possibly a freelance coder and to cover marketing costs. So how very wrong is it that the only things I really want to do with the money are:

Day of Silence

I forgot to turn on my e-mail client this morning.

It was like having a Day Without People.

    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?
