So after all of the excitement in mid-December, I drove to Michigan with Nigel and Nacho on December 23. It was a long drive, as usual, made longer by the fact that I was the sole driver, but Nacho was a great travel buddy and stayed awake chatting with me the whole time. We did [...]

Christmas shopping is complete!

I upgraded to WordPress 2.7 and it’s beautiful. The admin area is fantastic. I have decided that pretty much everything is better with sriracha (hamburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, scrambled eggs, etc.). Christmas shopping is DONE. I did it all online this year, and it was awesome. No lines, no hassle, no screaming kids, no stress. [...]
