Son of Apple and other things

It feels like it’s been a while since I posted something here, so I will start with a few cool things and then drop into the various and sundry items. First! My second ever Etsy purchase arrived last night. I know Etsy to be the land of puffy-paint, glitter, and rhinestones; of “fashion” sweatshirts; of … Continue reading Son of Apple and other things

Warning: Pictures of Extreme Cuteness

These photos have been rattling around my Flickr stream, waiting for a blog post. A few weekends ago, Kim and I walked to Creston Park and played on the playground equipment. The See-Saw: The Swings: We also did some MySpace-esque cellphone-camera-in-a-mirror pictures before sushi the other night: Posted in:

Through the looking glass

You know how, in Alice’s Adventures Through the Looking Glass, she goes into a mirror world where everything is backwards? In taking PhotoBooth pictures of Ebenezer the other day, I came to realize that there is a similar mirror world in my Mac. Maybe this isn’t surprising, considering Neo’s trip down the rabbit hole or … Continue reading Through the looking glass

Can’t work; cats will climb me

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 … Continue reading Can’t work; cats will climb me

Christmas From Aperture Labs

I’m not really all that big on Christmas cards[1]. Every year I receive a few, but never really get around to sending any. I’m not sure if it’s because I can be lazy and forgetful at times or if it’s because, when facing a mostly blank card with pen in hand, I tend to freeze … Continue reading Christmas From Aperture Labs

Ebenezer’s Snow Failure

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 … Continue reading Ebenezer’s Snow Failure

In which Norman is confused & annoyed by deep snow

Norman, our newish kitty–the stray one we adopted–is only about two years old. This means two things. First, he is crazy-full of energy. Second, he is not really old enough to remember much snow in Portland. Last year it snowed a tiny bit on Christmas, but nothing like the snowpocalypse we have been getting this … Continue reading In which Norman is confused & annoyed by deep snow

Portland Snow

It’s snowing once again in PDX. This happens so infrequently that everyone is confused and freaks out over the weather. There are a few links that I have found useful and informative with regard to the weather conditions. Here they are: * City of Portland Street Closures and Restrictions * Department of Transportation trip-check * … Continue reading Portland Snow
