Building In A (Big) Bubble

December 30, 2007 – 12:02 pm

dcdead’s photo of the Central Station of Strasbourg, France reminds me of something I’d long wanted to do in (or around) my old house: put it in a dome. Apparently, this dome doesn’t fully cover the building, just enlarges it without obscuring the facade. Still, 6000 square meters of glass looks pretty good, eh?

Site Crashed…Recovered…Sort Of

October 20, 2007 – 11:41 pm

My hosting provider lost a server, and their most recent backup of my database was from Wednesday. That was newer than what I had, so that’s what I’ve got. Any comments submitted between then and mid afternoon today have been lost. I was luckier with my posts: I write most of them in ecto and [...]

Bisson Tower Siezed

April 3, 2007 – 7:45 am

With plenty of moving help from Zack, Matt, Cliff, Justin, Jon, Will, and Karen, Bisson Tower went from empty to full quickly enough that we all had plenty of time to sit around and enjoy the lunch Sandee cooked up, then retire to the roof with cocktails.
The cats were traumatized by it all, but I’m [...]

Web Based Genealogy Software

April 2, 2007 – 7:58 pm

Interesting, a LAMP solution that promises ?the next generation of genealogy sitebuilding.? it does pretty charts and pages, and as any web app should, makes it easy to edit or add information.
But it also makes me wonder if there’s an XFN attribute to indicate parent/child relationships. Could our work on network identity and social software [...]

Spring! Spring Flowers!

March 22, 2007 – 12:12 pm

Uploaded from before the days when Flickr would keep the original size photos, this is one of my favorite, most spring-y shots. And with weather like we’re having here now — 57° in northern New Hampshire! — it’s very appropriate.

Let It Snow!

February 14, 2007 – 8:20 pm

With over a foot on the ground already, and more falling now the through the night, we’re crossing our fingers for another snow day tomorrow.

Whitcher Sawmill Burned

September 28, 2006 – 7:58 am

I described it to Jessamyn in an IM last night:

lights flickering here,
sirened vehicles passing frequently,
smell of smoke hangs in air outside

Scotchtober Fest

September 24, 2006 – 12:05 pm

New Hampshire’s Highland Games are back where they belong in Lincoln NH. Fittingly for the Highlands theme, the weather Saturday was cold and misty, with fogs rolling over the hills. I half expected Lorna Doone herself to appear.
The games, of course, are ?Scottish Heavy Athletics? involving the throwing (though sometimes carrying) of just about anything [...]

Celebrate Independence Day With Breakfast

July 4, 2006 – 9:02 am

Let the vexillographers cringe, flag desecration never tasted so good.
Sure, it’s barbecue season, but that’s no reason not to enjoy breakfast. And what better way to break fast on the Fourth of July than to dress waffles as sugary, fruity flags? Do that with your hamburgers. Do that with your potato salad. Do that with [...]

The Twig’s Grand Opening

June 23, 2006 – 12:18 am

Wendy sent out this invite last week:
Last month the Monningers quite suddenly became restauranteurs. Six weeks later, Wendy, Joe and Pie are excited to announce the Grand Opening of ?the Twig?– an ever-so-cute restaurant in their hometown of Warren, NH.
On Saturday, June 24th from 11-2 come to the Twig for free pizza and cake. Win [...]

Winter’s Last Breath

April 5, 2006 – 9:35 am

Snow and rain mixed throughout the day Tuesday, but we awoke to glistening white fields and trees. Above is the view due west in Wentworth this morning, before the warm spring sun melted it all away.

On Being Busy

February 10, 2006 – 9:40 am

I should be thankful to have friends who get worried about me when I don’t blog for a couple days (or at least make up stories), but let me take this moment to make it clear that I haven’t gone into boat sales. This has happened before, and it just means I’ve got a larger [...]

Warren (and Dog Sledding) On TV Tonight

January 31, 2006 – 12:53 pm

The folks at WMUR’s Chronicle are featuring my friends Joe and Wendy and their dog sledding tonight. The photos above are of Justin in a race a few years ago (video of the finish also online). Warren hasn’t been so proud since we put the rocket up.

Walking Desk

January 30, 2006 – 12:17 pm

I used to have a stand-up desk at work. Then that got replaced by a pair of standup workstations above a more normal desk. Then I moved offices and switched roles from sysadmin to programmer and got the most normal desk ever.
Then, in January 2005, I heard an NPR story about Dr. Jim Levine’s study [...]

How I Broke My Clie

January 14, 2006 – 2:00 pm

It’s an unseasonably warm and rainy January here in Warren, where warm actually means daytime highs of about 30 degrees and ’seasonable weather’ would be closer to zero. The point is that it’s the worst possible winter weather: the rain ruins the regular winter activities, and it’s still too cold to take up summer activities. [...]
