Fifteen
Fifteen years ago today, surrounded by friends and family, I married my lovely wife. Thanks to everyone who's been on this ride with us and you're welcome to stay on this rollercoaster for many more years to come (fortunately, ours has been more of a kiddie ride than some.)

LB - Riding high
The little guy recently found the courage to ride his mountain bike and we've been taking regular short rides. Today we took the longest one yet, a little over 6.5 miles up around Balboa Park and back. He's still got a little trouble getting going and tends to wobble a lot when he gets distracted, but he's doing really well. A little more practice ( Read more... ) -
In the cold North
The lovely wife is out of town for the weekend to jury a physics competition (hint, gravity wins, gravity always wins), so my mind is a bit on travel. Then Craig Ferguson posted this on twitter:

RPGs for Haiti
A number of the smaller publishers in the RPG industry have gotten together with the people who run RPGNow.com and DriveThruRPG to put together a benefit bundle for Haiti relief. They're donating 100% of the purchase price to Doctors Without Borders
One of the publishers has put a (nearly complete, as more are being added) list in his post: http:// ( Read more... ) -
Fox "News"
So, as if I weren't already aware that Fox News is biased in their reporting, I just got a poll call from them. Now, I've done opinion surveys with Gallup and Nielsen and several other less well know pollsters and I can tell when the poll wants a certain response (in particular a "push" poll sponsered by Gov. Schwartzenegger's office run by a group ( Read more... ) -
Fairest of them all.
Now that I'm done loaning the most beautiful and talented physics teacher to the world of education, we get her back tomorrow! Here she is being "Unprofessional"
