Norman the Terminator

November 29, 2009

Exhibit A: Ebenezer in the “Ter­mi­nate Your­self” pro­mo­tion ear­lier this year
Exhibit B: Nor­man with his ter­mi­na­tor haircut

A big chunk of Norman’s head has been shaved clean.  As best as I can tell, he got in a cat fight, but the wound got infected and abscessed, so the vet cleaned things up.  In the process, he got […]

Two in the bush

June 20, 2009

Some­thing a lit­tle bit sur­pris­ing hap­pened last week­end that I briefly twit­tered about, but never got around to writ­ing down.  Kim was fin­ish­ing up some gar­den­ing in the front yard and Nor­man the cat was jump­ing through the grass, dig­ging in the dirt, and just being an ener­getic out­door kitty. 
After I got my stuff put […]

Photo dump: mystery switch, window perch, bathroom, sun

June 7, 2009

When my main machine was the 17″ lap­top, I had a great sys­tem for pulling pic­tures directly from my cam­era, almost imme­di­ately after tak­ing them, then push­ing them to Flickr with Flick­r­Ex­port for Aper­ture.  The new (well, not ter­ri­bly new now) Mac­Book Air does not meet the sys­tem require­ments for Aper­ture (I got the low […]

In the sun

May 9, 2009

Since I have never before used the Word­press iPhone client, this is partly a photo post and par­tially a test.

Can’t work; cats will climb me

January 17, 2009

In offload­ing some pho­tos to Aper­ture and Flickr, I ran across this one from the other week.  When doing work at home, it is usu­ally on the lap­top on the sofa or easy chair in the front room.  With the ergonomic kneely chair at my desk, my back is exposed enough to allow Ebenezer to […]

Ebenezer’s Snow Failure

December 21, 2008

Ebenezer’s pre­vi­ous day in the snow, back in 2005, was fun but unevent­ful. He went out in the snow, which was only a cen­time­ter or two deep, wan­dered around, then returned. This year, he almost did not make it out the door. Even with the sweater, he was cold and a bit unnerved by the […]

My life, the bad sitcom

October 4, 2008

Kim: Did the timer go off?
Me: I didn’t hear it.
Kim: You didn’t hear it?
Timer: *brrrrrring*
Me: The timer went off.

In other news, Ebenezer — the nekkid cat — has reaf­firmed some of his quirks.  He is the only cat I know that is indif­fer­ent toward cat­nip, yet loves bleach.  Kim is mop­ping the floor and we are hav­ing dif­fi­culty keeping […]

Photoblogtastico!

June 21, 2008

Last week­end, this is where I biked to.  There were peo­ple mak­ing out, peo­ple in a far-off drum cir­cle, a crazy old lady with a har­mon­ica, a pair of young Ital­ian guys play­ing bocce ball, and lots of peo­ple walk­ing their dogs.

The reser­voir has funny lit­tle pro­cess­ing build­ings that look like a com­bi­na­tion between a castle […]

Atop the lap

April 28, 2008

When the lap is occu­pied by the lap­top, Ebenezer is forced to be cre­ative.  I think he’s the only cat I know that enjoys being upside-down.
On a related note: in the same sit­u­a­tion, I am forced to be a lit­tle cre­ative in how I type.

Update

January 25, 2008

For those that only look at new posts and new feed items, never going back to look at old posts, my Upcoming.org issues were resolved.  It was a mem­ory problem–the squishy grey kind, not the sil­i­con chip kind.
Ebenezer’s lack of hair means you can clearly see his expres­sions and mus­cu­la­ture.  He makes some really great “ew” […]

Notes from the overground

January 19, 2008

1. Near-freezing tem­per­a­tures today: the weather could not make up its mind whether to rain, snow, or hail this morn­ing.
2. Mas­sage.  Yeay!  My back’s still pretty f’ed up, yo.  Usu­ally, the mas­sage helps, but today things were espe­cially bad.  I’ve lost weight, though–most of my pants no longer fit me–but my back is a twisted […]

Minor Update

January 8, 2008

No recent blog posts… it’s been a busy week.
It would appear that 6 inches of sil­i­cone rub­ber weath­er­strip­ping is the best cat toy ever.  Ebenezer loves it.  Char­lotte, who does not typ­i­cally play with cat toys, was seen to be play­ing with it a few times.  The non-toys always make the best toys.
Port­landers, keep your eyes peeled […]
