by Kaptain Kobold I sit in the Vino Volo wine bar at the Oakland airport milking the last minutes from a vacation tacked onto the holiday break…. Who would want this to end? I am buying another ticket to Denial Land. Where did I miss the line to stand in for the life of idle […]
cc licensed flickr photo shared by Anonymous9000 A few days ago, I pushed out an Unscientific Experiment in Recommendations; I asked in three different places (a) this blog; (b) twitter; and (c) Facebook three different requests for reccommendations: I am Looking for a Quality Photo Tripod Adios iPhone / AT&T Hello Android / Verizon?

Cheddar cheese is yellow and melts nicely to make sandwiches. Bacon has the ability to arouse the dead with its delicious smell and to drive Canadians bonkers.

Modified from cc licensed flickr photo shared by One Thousand Words A few weeks ago I got a redemption code from Apple for a free move rental from iTunes– I chose to use it to watch Inception (I’m still resonating or reverberating with this movie, so this is not a review).
