• Weak coffee diaries

    My French press coffee maker broke in the dishwasher this weekend. I can’t tell you how distraught I felt. I’ve asked for a new, larger capacity model for Christmas… so now I can’t go out and BUY something I might get as a gift. That’s bad list-making mo-jo, man.

    So here I am, drinking weak ‘drip’ brew, a victim of my own sensibilities… a modern day tragedy in your midst.

  • If you must know

    If you see me on Monday and I’m looking a little off my game, this is the reason why: Cascading Style Sheets… or CSS for short. For some reason I thought it would be swell to teach myself a few more of the basics of CSS this weekend… and try to set up a simple page as a test. The result is a new, minimalist home page for my web site. It’s plain, it’s a creativity free zone, and it’s a little more pinkish than I had originally intended (a laptop screen isn’t always the best place to judge color), but it’s table free!

    Hoo-ray for me!

  • Strange things

    Something odd happened to me recently… I ate a candy cane that tasted like peppermint. It didn’t taste like Starburst, Skittles, Life Savers, any kind fruit, chocolate, peanut butter, pop-corn, or any other kind of mint. In fact, I don’t recall the last time I had a peppermint candy cane. Isn’t THAT odd?

    Caveat: it was sugar-free. (Insert shiver here.)
