Since the trip…

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

Since the last post, I had a nice end of my two week vacation. A couple relaxing days that allowed me to get back into our timezone. During that time I also discovered that Belmont Station carries the Bruges beer that Kelly and I had much of on our trip, Brugse Zot, so I picked [...]

If Facebook were real

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Caught this little gem from Digg just now and had to repost it here, because well, it’s hilarious. And sadly true.

This video represents the downside of being too connected. Sometimes it can be good (yielding some favorable contact with long-lost friends), sometimes it can be awkward and slightly uncomfortable (being contacted and ‘friended’ by people [...]

Backups

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Yesterday I picked up a 500 GB external hard drive, and connected it to my Airport Extreme so both Kelly and I can take advantage of the OS X’s automated, versioned backup goodness that is Time Machine. I got my MacBook Pro all backed up yesterday, and Kelly’s is working at it now. It’s pretty [...]

4 gigabyte Horse Brass

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Last Friday I ordered some RAM for both Kelly and my laptops (through my work’s IT department, saving about $40 from what I’d have paid otherwise). After ordering I was told it would be 3 to 5 business days. I arrived to work this morning and had the RAM already. Woohoo! So I borrowed the [...]

If you’re going to San Francisco…

Monday, October 1st, 2007

.. be sure to wear… oh hell with that. I found out today that my manager at SuperSweetCo really wanted me to go to a web designer conference, An Event Apart, held in San Francisco. The event is in 3 days. So at the end of the day, with the help of a coworker, [...]

CircusTroubles

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Not sure what the heck I did, but sometime over the weekend, I managed to do something bad to circusgeek. This meant that anyone trying to reach the blog for the past couple days has either not been able to reach it at all, or it’s been insanely slow.
Over the weekend, I did a number [...]

I broked the internets!

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

Haven’t written in a few days. I intended to, but I couldn’t. I broked the internets!
It all started Saturday, which was truely a day to myself. I didn’t leave the house except for some grocery shopping (translated: I bought beer and some meat to grill). I spent most of the day tinkering around [...]

Nerds, Beers & Pubs

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

After a long and hectic work week (including some big news for SuperSweetCo), I had a day to myself.
Actually, it kind of started last night with my friend Miranda coming by to hang out, stopping me from working until the wee hours. She and Brian are in the process of buying a house just a [...]

Tech supporter, and Independance Day

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

Happy "intellectually-challenged people burn shit up and kill people" day. Ugh.
I played tech support / web nerd for some friends earlier this week. On Monday I helped my friend Jenn get an old laptop onto her home WiFi connection so she could stream music to her basement. She paid me plenty with beer and some [...]

Just in time (apparently)

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Today we had some tech (and apparently sales… keep reading) folks come out from Comcast to fix some cable troubles. Our ancient, old-school analog cable has been having troubles with some channels. It’s not a new problem, it just took Kelly and I a long time to finally call Comcast about it. Channels 2 through [...]
