Jappy Jaladays begets a number of other punny greetings:
Merry Mojitos!
Merry Margaritas!
Tijuana celebrate? Hope you do.
Party tortilla tired!
Don’t let the season tequila.
Salsa nice having you in our lives.
Let’s go singing Christmas Cuervos!
Michael Pratt asked me recently:
Do you still use your treadmill desk? Do you continue to find it beneficial? I love the idea of these things, but worry a little that I might tire of it in practice, or that it might be difficult to work at it for long periods.
It may seem a perfect opportunity [...]
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?
Back to [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

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.

I described it to Jessamyn in an IM last night:
lights flickering here,
sirened vehicles passing frequently,
smell of smoke hangs in air outside
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 [...]
