My Little Pony Cake

Posted on June 7, 2009 by Steve

This has got to be the girliest cake Somara has ever made but it’s expected for a three-year-old. I need to ask Elizabeth’s father if she’s obsessed with horses like all young females. Nice to see the airbrush Somara bought … Continue reading →

Beatles Rock Band is impressive…

Posted on June 7, 2009 by Steve

…even to a jagged Beatles hater such as myself. Originally I felt this was going to be another cash cow for the remaining two and the other two’s estates as it was for Metallica and Aerosmith (they made more money … Continue reading →

RIP David Carradine (late)

Posted on June 6, 2009 by Steve

Such a shame if his death was a murder or a suicide. He was always cool with me since as a child of the Seventies and Eighties, David was Caine, the ass-kicking buddhist monk who turned the dying TV Western … Continue reading →

Funny handbag

Posted on June 5, 2009 by Steve

So it’s not a T-shirt but I bought one from this place and had to have a picture of this bag because it was funny. I figured you all would like it too since I’m big on recycling.

A little hockey fun

Posted on June 3, 2009 by Steve

Anything to take my mind off of my team signing Ray Emery, a Terrell Owens type is what he is if you don’t know hockey but know a cancerous athlete who made the media frequently. My friend Brian told me … Continue reading →

Sadly there’s nothing big to report since progress has slowed due to illness but we did get some inspiration tonight while at Costco…they finally had those 26″ Vizio LCD displays which are compatible with our MacBooks! More on those another … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Anna!

Posted on June 1, 2009 by Steve

She’s now lucky number seven which is a pretty groovy age as a kid. First grade is over (or will soon be) and you’ve gotten a pretty solid taste for grade school. I cannot remember if Summer vacation has started … Continue reading →

Two productivity killers for the iPhone

Posted on May 30, 2009 by Steve

At least they were free before you completely dismiss the waste of battery power and space on my iPhone. The first, iPity, was discovered by a friend of mine who’s a Mr. T fan. I think he made a really … Continue reading →

The Stanley Cup: Red Wings in seven

Posted on May 30, 2009 by Steve

Even as I write, the puck was dropped around 15 minutes ago. I’m late  due to digressions which were essential and worthwhile. However, I stand by my prediction despite Commissioner Bettman trying to rig the results in favor of Sh**sburgh. … Continue reading →

Somara’s Whatnot Muppet arrived!

Posted on May 29, 2009 by Steve

Somara’s late (or early) Christmas present from FAO Schwarz was left at our door last night: her official Jim Henson Muppet Whatnot (fancy term for an extra). I was very impressed with it. Hers was certainly better made than the … Continue reading →

Posted on May 28, 2009 by Steve

Those first three months in Austin were off to a sweet start: I had an awesome place to stay courtesy of University Towers (24th Street and Rio Grande); the weather was great (compared to the Midwest); the job was relatively … Continue reading →

RIP Jay Bennett

Posted on May 26, 2009 by Steve

I was never a fan of Wilco, more of an enemy of their fans due to an incident at the Sheryl Crow concert in 1997. Yeah I know, maybe the four assholes obstructing everyone else’s view were doing us a … Continue reading →

The overdue, terrific news

Posted on May 24, 2009 by Steve

A few already know since Friday night when I made the phone calls and/or spotted my Facebook wall (or is it a banner?) but I still want to write about it here. This week, my co-worker Eli accepted a position … Continue reading →

Real cat’s pajamas!

Posted on May 24, 2009 by Steve

This photo is not a digital trick nor some cruel prank being played on an animal. That’s my friends’ cat Cally in the getup. Recently Cally had surgery for a benign lump or something on a hind leg. Unfortunately, this … Continue reading →
