“groovy mother...”

The somewhat terrific Weather screensaver running on the Squeezebox in our bedroom. Hurrah for internet-enabled consumer-electronic devices.

Or, alternatively, half-a-mug of piss-weak, nastily artifically-sweetened, CoffeeMate-crammed brownwater. The rather disappointing result of trying a HomeCafe "frothy cappuccino" pod.

I got the coffee machine for free from BzzAgent, but I still feel ripped-off. I'll stick with my Senseo, thanks.

Intel is for wussies. The 100Mhz PowerPC 603e is where it's at.

This laptop was unceremoniously dumped in the random-crap-pile outside my cube. It's ten years old, running System 7.5, has a staggering 24Mb of RAM, and a whopping 500Mb hard drive. Anyone got suggestions for what I can use it for?

On the flight back from San Diego, a mother and her daughter sat next to me. I feared a 6-hour chunk of screaming wean, but the kid was surprisingly quiet, watching her Barney DVDs and reading her Curious George books.

This is a picture she drew of me. (Actually, the mother drew the head and body, and the girl added the glasses, beard and baseball cap) A pretty decent likeness!

Shot from the bar at the top of the Hyatt. San Diego really has the most dull featureless skyline!

Hardcore Three-way Roomba-on-Roomba Action.

Two remote-control Roombas battle it out at Makefest.

"Branded Lanyard" would be a great name for a rock band.

...I think I can safely say that my RAZR has RAZed its last. Dec 2004 - Feb 2006... I think that's the longest a cellphone has ever lasted me.

I'm now eyeing up a Nokia 6682, and trying to work out the best way to purchase it without becoming Cingular's bitch for the next two years.

A house near us has just gone up for sale, and apparently there's an AM transmitter so you can hear all about it without having to ring the doorbell.

Of course, the bad man in me wants to try to broadcast "Metal Machine Music" on that frequency at a higher power.

They're currently asking about $50k more than the Zillow Zestimate. Curious to see how this plays out with regards to Zillow's estimates.

The menu for a local pizzaplace. Can we get anchovies on one half, and bling on the other?

These signs were dotted around the new Somerville Stop & Shop, along with "Mrs Schillng Shops Here" ones.
