One bite has changed a lot of lives

This is one major reason I work where I work. I hope my contributions to the site are helping fulfill that vision.

Birth

As I currently work on a minor new feature for the Trusera website, I'm reminded for the fourth or fifth time today that 12 November marks my one year Trusera "birthday." It seems bizarre to realise that exactly one year ago, I was sitting--eyes wide, brain trickling …

What were you doing when Obama won?

I guess the real question is this: What were you doing when you heard that Barack Obama was elected to become the 44th president of the United States?

Here's what Sabrina and I were doing:

We went to Kidd Valley for a quick cheeseburger. We'd been following the …

Plan for change

I encourage everyone to watch this. I'm paranoid constantly that my bank is about to fail (yes, I use WaMu), and watching and experiencing the hypocrisy and contempt shown by the major corporations and banks as they pay out millions to fired failure CEOs (Killinger, …

Enough distraction

I've said it before--hell, this site has worn a button for the past year or more--but I'll say it again: I'm very proudly voting for this man.

Silverback: Usability testing for apes

Like many in my field, I was intrigued by the nifty "Coming Soon" page for Silverback when word started pinging around the design-o-sphere. A page with a cool parallax effect (all the rage for a few months there), an illustration of a rather nerdy-looking gorilla (by …

Loud noises!

Over the weekend, we were treated to two shows of the Blue Angels jet squadron, zooming around Lake Washington (and thus our apartment) as part of Seafair. We were thus also "treated" to the ungodly noise that accompanies six F-18 fighter jets screaming by at extremely …

Trusera officially launches

Let's just say last night was a busy night here in Seattle. We officially launched the all-new Trusera.com at 9pm Pacific Time.

The devs running scripts to migrate old site info to new site

Not only is it an all-new site (new code, new design, lots of new …

Sabrina enjoys some sunlight outside Vera Project

My sunshine is finally here.

Moving Pictures to Document Moving People

So, a little over a week ago, I got my wish. We loaded up a trailer full of Sabrina's stuff and made the 850 mile slog from Salt Lake City to her new place of residence beside my hairy arse. I could wax poetic about the endurance trial we experienced, but why type a …

For all the great features of the iPhone...

I have to admit that they've really regressed in the selection of songs for the On-The-Go playlist. Normal iPods can add any song on the go to a special playlist simply by highlighting the song and holding down on the center button until it flashes. Simple.

On an …

It Can Be Sunny In Seattle In February

See!!?!

Did I mention I miss this face?

I did? Well, yeah, I do. Luckily for me, I get to see her again on valentine's day. And I couldn't be more elated.

Succumbing to a meme

Okay, so I normally hate those pesky memes that spread across the intertube (Garrett, I'm just saying it that way to push buttons), and lord knows it's probably because I'm usually the last one in on it. Anyhoo, my friend Christine happened to post a fun little meme on …

I miss this face

Thriftland find

My girlie Sabrina. I miss. I miss. I miss.

The end and beginning of familiar

Here I am. It's sunday night here in Leschi, and the neighbour's dogs are yapping--of course, inexplicably. I can hear the water outside... or maybe it's just the sound of I-90 to the south. My brand new job starts tomorrow, and I'll admit I'm a bit wigged out. You …

Salt Lake, I Love You

...but you're bringing me down.

Sorry, I was listening to LCD Soundsystem this morning, and the track "New York, I Love You" came on, and it seemed applicable. What I'm trying to say is that as of the 12th of next month, I will no longer reside in the town of my …

iTunes Plus Price drop?

There are reports that $0.99 iTunes Plus (you know, the DRM free variety) tracks have been popping up at the iTunes Store. John Gruber speculates that it's either a mistake (doubtful, having looked around, noticed all Sub Pop releases are the same), the introduction of …

Charity Yard Sale for MS

My family and the Lucky 13s are putting on a MASSIVE yard sale this Saturday here in SLC (technically in Murray, where the majority of my family live) to benefit those with MS, like my brother, Seth. When I say massive, I really mean it. I visited my mother on Sunday …
