How I Know I’ll Be Married A Long Time — Part II

Angela informed me Mon­day evening after we both got home from work that from now on, Mon­day would be piz­za night. We could either make it at home (which I love) or order. We’ll spend the evening watch­ing a movie as well. It was tru­ly hard to hide my tears of joy.

Cobra Journal — Part II

It’s as if the peo­ple at McSweeney’s heard my cries at night: “Jour­nal Of A Sea­soned Cobra Vet­er­an” by Kei­th Pille (also, read “Jour­nal of a New Cobra Recruit”). “June 28, 1987 — We sure seem to have a lot of nin­jas on the COBRA payroll.”

MacWorld-SF 06

Since I wrote some last year about the then new­ly announced prod­ucts at Mac­World, I thought I might post some thoughts on this year’s as well.

Dude, Where’s My Car?

When I fly where ever, I find it’s eas­i­est just to leave my car parked at the long term garage (as opposed to a taxi or a friend). Before I go on my trip, I emp­ty my cam­er­a’s mem­o­ry card. The first pho­tos I take on my trip are my park­ing spot num­ber and the… Con­tin­ue read­ing Dude, Where’s My Car?
