Free Hot Dog Day

I was at a friend’s house last night setting up a new Time Capsule that wasn’t being very Mac-like (i.e. setting it up was a nightmare) and she happened to mention that today was Free Hot Dog Day at her work.

Yes, I crashed it.

Dinner at William Tell Vancouver

Jason Manikel came to town last weekend.  He was in town early for his father’s 60th birthday, and his mom and dad invited Susie and I to have dinner with them.  We gladly agreed.

My Graduation Was 17.5 Years Ago.

Yes, I’m working on a big project this weekend.

But I took a quick break from that to scan in a few old pictures.

Here are the 20 images I have of my high school graduation dance.

No Sale! No Sale!

Just a quick note.  Our house, which had been on the market for a little over a month, is no longer for sale.

We discovered this yesterday when we got up and the real estate sign in our front lawn was gone.

Kinzin, Facebook Ads and the Inadvertent Huckster

I use Facebook, and I’m pretty liberal when it comes to adding new applications, joining groups, and being fans of a company. I’m a pretty open guy. But that behavior, becoming fans of a company, exposed an interesting problem recently.

Overheard

“An unexamined life is not worth living.”

...who said it?

“BBFF (Best Bacon Friends Forever)”

...who said it?

“I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.”

...who said it?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.”

...who said it?

“Ever have something in your teeth that you cannot stop tonguing?”

...who said it?
