I am out of the Web Nerd loop by at least a few years (something about my wife being way more interesting than monkeying around with code stuff) but some of the HTML 5 stuff rolling out is pretty slick. Particularly, I am interested in the state of the <video> roll out. It will be a beauty of a day when folks can post a video and not have to monkey around with Flash (and the various suckiness that comes with that). Thinking I might throw together a page to play around with some of the stuff in the near future.
I don’t get it, residential street, ample parking and this guy is 18 inches off the curb. The crazy thing is that they did a 3 point parking job to get here.
Bonus points for a car full of empty grocery bags.
Goobers.
Confession, I don’t grill. Or rather, I have never grilled. As youngest dude in the family I was essentially the C-Team when it came to BBQ time and never had to give it a whirl. After leaving home….well, I had a George Foreman Grill, problem solved.
Getting ready for a day with my Family coming over for food, I realized I didn’t have a grill (thanks Ballard Fred Meyer for helping with that) and didn’t know how to use one.
Now, I am well equipped for summer cooking. Which is great.
Here is a photo of Kate pretending she was cooking (she was not):
As memory serves, that was a Vegetable Medley and some tasty steak that Kate picked up on a walk through Pike Place on her way home. I am currently working on Grilled Cheese Technology.
I want to try grilling up some fish, but that seems a little less intuitive than throwing slabs of red meat on the grill. Will cross that bridge on a later day.
Homeownership is pretty neat, back in the day (say, February) I would get up on a Saturday, drop Kate off at work then eat cereal and watch cartoons all day. Good times.
Now, my day are all productive and filled with yardwork. Awesome.
While I was flipping sod or sharpening my axes or something, Kate was communing with nature (specifically this snail). I named Snail-o the Brave. Please note, Kate’s gloves are Purple and have a Delicate floral pattern on the back of the hand.
When we dug out the Ivy in the front yard, Kate informed me we would be planting Succulents. After going home and looking up what the hell those were, I decide it was a horrible idea and would fail. Turns out I was wrong. Below is a photo of one of happy little guys, I don’t know the name of plant and I don’t care. Its a plant, why would it need a name? Seriously, what’s it going to do…open a checking account or something.
This is the plant I saved from Kate’s all chopping ways, I think it is a Heather or something like that. All I know is that this bush is like some kind of swingers hotel for birds, madness in there.
Our beloved friends the Ridenours have produced a child, Zoe Roxanna Ridenour.
She is small and most likely pretty confused right now. I suspect she will settle down shortly. Did you know that what I don’t know about children could fill a book?
Again, welcome Zorax (still working on a nickname).
I turned 50 (or something like that) this month. Which means, you have until the of the month to send you presents and well wishes. Get busy.
I compulsively fret about my external hard drive setup, my router, and my servers. I dream about them. I imagine possible scenarios of my life, except with better data storage.
Prime Example:
My wedding day…but with a server running my slide show….and streaming it online.
Makes my heart beat fast just thinking about it.
We really got in the Swing of good weather! See what I did there?
We spent the weekend, or part of it, at our Beloved Friends Island Retreat. It was fun, there was sunning, Simple Times, and assorted water sports (mostly me falling over on slimy rocks.
This is after someone (no one knows “who”) flipped our Kayak. Was it me, healthy and strong…practically dripping with maritime aptitude? Or the cripple. I will let you decide.
Also, I wore a Wolf Shirt. Zumaz pants will be forthcoming:
