More Would Not Should Good Updates

Updated Would Not Should Good to Movable Type 3.33 today. Rather painless. Only had to get the latest version of FlickrPhotos plugin copied to the right directories after the upgrade. Used the instructions at Learning Movable Type as I couldn’t find upgrade instructions on the Six Apart web site.

Snow Day!

Work is closed today due to the weather conditions in the Redmond, WA area, so it is an official Snow Day. Wooooohooooo! Haven’t had one of those in a while.

Would Not Should Good Updates

I futzed with the blog layout today, which some of you might have noticed as tweaked my way to its current state. I reduced it from 3 columns wide to 2 columns wide. I also dumped most of the Amazon images in favor of text. I am still trying to […]

Snow in Seattle

Weird weather day in Seattle, or at least parts of it. As Patty and I drove around the city visiting old haunts (apartments, favorite restaurants, daily bus stops, etc), the rain slowly changed to snow in parts of the city (but not all). This culminated in a very snowy trip to the Snappy […]

Singles Going Steady: Preston School of Industry - “Caught in the Rain”

In honor of my Thanksgiving day run and getting drenched, I present to you Preston School of Industry and “Caught in the Rain“. It’s a solid little rocker. I never really got into the rest of the Monsoon album, so I can only really recommend the single.
PSOI is the follow […]

Tenacious D: the Pick of Destiny

We caught this as a matinee and had a good laugh. The teenagers in front of us pronounced it to be “genius”.
It is not a complicated movie. If you like farting, Jack Black and “the Metal”, you will find this to be an enjoyable movie. It even includes a John Kricfalusi (of […]

Happy Thanksgiving

It’s been a fun, interesting, frustrating and special week so far.
I picked Patty up from the Seatac Airport late on Sunday night. We made a run to the Kirkland Burgermaster on the way home. I lived vicariously through Patty’s chocolate shake and Burgermaster burger. It smelled good.
Monday as we […]

Salumi - Meat and Cheese Heaven

Although I threw my diet and exercise routine off kilter, I had lunch with a co-worker at Salumi’s yesterday afternoon. A great little place on the edge of Pioneer Square and near the sports stadiums, you can’t go wrong with the food or the service. The place was packed as usual as we […]

Hello Sunshine

The sun came out for the first time since I have been back on the West Coast. It’s been 5 days since I have seen the sun.

Dottie Gets a Little Tipsy

Dottie has been recovering well from her surgery, definitely back to her old, mischievious self.
Tonight, I put my glass of Oregon Pinot Noir on the floor while I was reading through my email. Dottie seem to ignore the glass, until I suddenly heard the sound of wine sloshing around the glass. […]
