The trip to Home Despot is often enough to make me drag my heels for weeks on basic home improvement tasks. It's usually too crowded, nobody useful works there, nothing is labeled. I suppose if you're a elbow-throwing contractor that knows what he's looking for, that might not be so bad. For a neophyte like […]

So… many more pieces of counter just spontaneously fell off . And then the counter turned into the giant scab on your arm that you just can't leave alone. I picked at it and picked at it… until this happened:
I didn't really mean to do it. It just happened. In the midst of the demolition […]

Annabelle has this incredibly adorable and funny habit of peeping on Jesse when he's in the shower.
A couple days ago, she even got so curious what was going on in there that she JUMPED in the shower with him. She got out pretty quick and it was more funny than anything else. But this morning!! […]

In a move designed to infuriate the technical community (yours truly included), the judge in the patent case between Verizon and Vonage has issued an order that Vonage is prohibited from completing calls from its service to a regular phone line. The implication is that Verizon is claiming that it should have exclusive use […]
