Bookmark Material
I started to write a comment to the post Fear of (bookmark) commitment? Try I Need to Read This over on Silicon Florist, but what I found myself writing started getting longer and longer and I realized I might be better off sharing as a fully hyperlinked blog post. Rick talks about temporarily bookmarking articles … Continue reading Bookmark Material
Portland Monkey Business
I do not know what surprises me more — that OHSU is performing research on monkeys here in vegan, hippie, granola, animal-rights Portland or that several of said monkeys have escaped. 3 escaped monkeys spotted near Hillsboro research center Of course, Twitter is going bananas over the monkeys: #pdxmonkey (see also: #pdxtmt and #monkeypocalypse). And … Continue reading Portland Monkey Business
In which I try out barefoot shoes
Not too long ago, I was referred to a New York Magazine article about shoes. More specifically, it is about not wearing shoes and how everyone walks wrong. It was intriguing, and while I am not yet ready to jump on the crunchy-granola, dirt-worshiping, tree-hugging, long-hair-hippie bandwagon (heck, I just cut off all my hair!), … Continue reading In which I try out barefoot shoes
The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello

I made it to Oregon!
I made it to Oregon! Kim, myself, and three cats got there alive — but starving, in poor health and after a few broken arms and bouts with cholera and dysentery. Looking at it now, Oregon Trail is a pretty crappy game but back in the day, it was one of the best around. Supposedly, … Continue reading I made it to Oregon!

I saw this on Gizmodo earlier today and decided it was simultaneously too cool and too creepy not to share. Posted in:

StackOverflow Gets a Facelift
I have this little site I run, StackOverflow.org, which is primarily two things. First, it is a cache of lots of different technical documents all over the internet that I find myself referring to frequently: RFC specifications, language and library references, ASCII charts, and whatnot. Secondly, it holds a Wiki that contains a bunch of … Continue reading StackOverflow Gets a Facelift
