A few weeks ago there was a kitty in our backyard visiting. She’s a pretty kitty, and I didn’t mind her being out there.
Until the crying began.
I own two cats, but they both came from a rescue group, and they were fixed before they came home. I have never had a cat in [...]
Elaine pointed out in my comments the other day that this site is starting to sound like all knitting, all the time. Granted, it seems to be the main thing going on my life right now outside of work - and while I could talk about clients, that is just not right - so [...]
According to Tivo To Go Unleashed!, you can get Tivo To Go on your PSP. How cool is that? [via Kevin Donahue]
I have had problems with my right shoulder for at least 15 years, and one of the issues I have is numb fingers. It’s not carpal tunnel - they figured out years ago (thanks to fun rounds of testing - oh, so fun) that it originates with a nerve all the way up in [...]
I’m over half way through the increase section of the Clapotis, after ripping it out and starting over at least 3 times. More actually, if you count the number of times I ripped out the first 3-4 rows. For anyone considering the Clapotis, I promise - it gets a lot better around row [...]
Wish you had been at SXSW? Want a taste of what is discussed there? Wish you had taken notes at a panel, but you didn’t? Now you can have it all - a fabulous wiki full of SXSW Session Notes! Whee!
Kevin was one of many new people I met in Austin [...]
Whoo hoo! After a yarn shortage scare, where I had to take out a row just so I could bind off, I have gotten the Booga Bag off the needles! (Picture on Flickr, with a mini version over in the sidebar.) Now I just have to find a pillowcase with a zipper [...]
I’m mainly posting this so I remember to show it to Mike, but in case anyone else needs it, here is how to Rip NPR to MP3 for an iPod.
My latest addition to the TiVo season pass lineup? Craft Corner DEATHMATCH! How perfect is that title? Sure, we all thought that “Wickedly Perfect” was a good title, but Craft Corner DEATHMATCH is so fabulous! Oh my. I can’t wait to actually see the show. Here is a brief [...]
Back in February, I attended the Stampin’ Up! regional convention in San Antonio. I made cards for the card swap, and I submitted one to Stampin’ Up! for their review. Today I found out that it is featured in the Demonstrator’s Stamper’s Showcase! Whoo hoo! They only select a few cards, [...]
It’s Kymberlie’s 30th Birthday! Whoo hoo! Happy Birthday, Kymberlie! 30s are the new 20s! You will love them!
Happy Birthday to Wendy, too!
While at a technology related conference like SXSW, it is really exciting to find another knitter. While waiting for the Accessibility shoot-out to begin, I turned around and spotted a lady wearing a Clapotis scarf, and I almost screamed. I immediately pointed out to Matt, “See! Another knitter! We are everywhere!” [...]
Since arriving at SXSW, I’ve been thinking a lot about that night that I told Tantek that CSS makes my eyes bleed. I’ll admit it, I’ve only been lightly reading the CSS book I got over a year ago. Why? It still wasn’t clicking for me. I just didn’t get it. [...]
No time for podcasts? How about a spotcast instead? You can read some of the first ones at EchoRadio.
I was originally planning on attending SXSW this year. Then, as life went on, it didn’t seem like it would be in the plans for me. TechMoxie is newly launched, so I had work to do. Mike couldn’t attend because of the trip to Holland and the resulting work projects. [...]
Reality Blurred has interviewed Jonathan Baker and Victoria Fuller from the last round of The Amazing Race. [via Ernie]
When I started working for the law firm in early 2003, I felt the need to password protect some of my posts. I didn’t want to censor myself, but I didn’t want to leave myself open to the world either. Sort of like walking around the chick doc’s office in those paper gowns [...]
That I-cord? I’m tired of working on it. 5 stitches, push. 5 stitches, push. And I have to work it in English, because when I tried to do it Continental it looked really wonky. So it’s going slowly. *sigh* Almost 4 feet done, only two or three more [...]
Wow. It’s only March 9th, and already the Mosquito Spray Trucks are driving through our neighborhood. How crazy is that? I saw the first mosquitos last week though, so I guess it’s time already.
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate Houston sometimes? Mosquitos in March. Insane.
It’s Wednesday, and know what Wednesday is? It is KNIT DAY! Whoo hoo! My friend Katy (who reads all of the knit blogs but doesn’t have one of her own … yet …) picked me up this morning and we finally found Yarns 2 Ewe! We managed to drive right past [...]
