uncanny
The spam robots have found my weakness. Every day, they post gibberish comments to my blog posts (spam robots are my most loyal readers) that are strings of random words, or sometimes they look like phrases and sentences pulled from internet search results. And then, yesterday, I got six or seven comments to different posts,… Read.

prometheus
I saw the movie Prometheus with My Darling B and Tim last night. We were so confused when we came out that we talked about it all the way home, trying to sort out the plot holes, but they were so many that we stood around in the living room of Our Humble O’Bode for… Read.

requiem
We have been given eyes to see what the light-year worlds cannot see of themselves, Bradbury wrote. We have been given hands to touch the miraculous. We’ve been given hearts to know the incredible. Can we shrink back to bed in our funeral clothes? Andy Chaikin, who has made a life out of writing about… Read.

serensified
Burgers. Brew. Life is good. I mean, really, what more could a guy want on a fine summer’s day? Well, the pretty girl makes it just that much better, of course. So here we have the epitome of a very enjoyable Saturday afternoon. I’ve told you before what Burgers and Brew is all about, so… Read.

live brew
It’s brewing day! And to make it extra-special, I’m going to live blog it, or as much of it as I can without interrupting the process, because when it comes down a choice between to satisfying you, my faithful reader (you are still out there, aren’t you?), or successfully brewing a batch of beer, you’re… Read.

decadence
I drove in to work today instead of riding my bike. The weather forecast called for high winds this afternoon and evening, and I hate biking against a headwind more than I hate biking through the rain, so I gave it a miss. Still left work at four-thirty, though. This being Thursday, it’s customary for… Read.

crossword
For the first time in I don’t know how many months, I turned the page in The New York Times and found a crossword puzzle that I could finish in less than a week. As it turned out, I finished it in less than an hour. Almost made my head explode. We used to subscribe… Read.

Dad’s typewriter
I’m on the hunt for a typewriter just like Dad’s. It was almost certainly the first typewriter I ever used. I don’t know how young I was when he let me hunt and peck on it, but I remember the day he told he me didn’t want me to do that any more. He wanted… Read.

thumb
My brother sent me a photo of a Tom Thumb toy typewriter he spotted in an antique mall, apparently because he knows how I geek out over typewriters. That’s the only explanation I can think of, anyway. I don’t have a Tom Thumb in my “collection” yet, mostly because the only places I’ve seen them… Read.

nuts
Today was bike to work week. I biked to work. I biked to work every day this week except Thursday, when I took the car to work only because I had to go to a medical appointment later in the day. I still didn’t get a t-shirt. So, nuts to you, bike to work week. Read.
