  • NYC Tattoo Convention

    Tobyjoe and I checked out the New York City Tattoo Convention today. It was pretty outstanding. A New York City favorite, Adorned had a booth who is the most likely candidate to complete my tattoo. Fly Rite and Mike Rubendall were there as well. There were tattoo artists from all over the world, actually. I…

  • The Inner Tobyjoe.

    You might not know it just by looking at him, but Tobyjoe says, (and I quote) “I aspire to be the bear on the Sleepytime tea box.” He means it.

  • Apple Store Maddness

    I simply could not resist taking a walk up to 57th and Fifth to check out the Apple Store Maddness . I heard word that there was a line. Behold, there was. If you’d like to see some more shots, you my do so by clicking here.

  • The Post Wherein I Turn a Tiny Beef I had With Comment Spam Into Waging a War Against Everything.

    For over four years, I used blog software built by my husband. As many of you know about two weeks ago we moved mihow.com over to Typo. It’s a great package for the most part. It’s easy to use and the templates are well designed. I haven’t run into too much weirdness or frustration using…

  • Mary Gaitskill at BAM

    Tonight, Tobyjoe and I were given the chance to see Mary Gaitskill read from her latest novel Veronica at BAM. Several weeks ago we saw Jonathan Letham read there as well. On both occasions, we had an excellent time. Recently, we read Mary’s first book over on Spread. I was really looking forward to seeing…

  • Time Enough at Last!

    Replace “henpecked bookworm” with “henpecked computer geek”. Swap Burgess Meredith with Tobyjoe Boudreaux and you have yourself one heck of a modern day remake. not my shot It’s underground, people.

  • A Political Run for the Border.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only arrests I know of, of someone trying to cross the border with weapons has happened along the Canadian border. Bush has suggested that one of the major reasons behind his desire to place the National Guard onto our Southern borders is for homeland security. That’s fine. I…

  • Comment Feed and Maintenance.

    I’m still getting to know how the new version of this Web site works. For example, up until yesterday I didn’t have stats. Also, I am no longer emailed when I receive a comment. However, there is an RSS feed for recent comments and I find that I’m using that quite frequently. Anyway, if anyone…

  • The British are Coding!

    Tobyjoe was featured contributor for the biggest Web magazine in the UK. It was about Ruby on Rails. He’s been looking for the magazine for about a week. We finally found some at the Barnes and Noble on Union Square. At the time he was writing the article, the editor wanted a picture and so…

  • Screw You, You Little Prick.

    Today, I stupidly decided to go visit the “on site” visiting work nurse to get a reading for my cholesterol, my blood pressure, and my glucose. And it’s a good thing I did that because I found out that I’m dying. On March 28th, 2006 (yes, that’s not even two months ago) I went in…
