If you're reading this because you want an answer to the "why" in my headline, you're gonna be sorely disappointed. Today, I am stunned, slowly shaking my head at my computer screen. The "me generation" has struck again ( Read more... )

You've already been told, but I'm gonna tell you too. See it. We went last night, and about 30 seconds into the film I leaned over to Liz and said "yeah, this movie's gonna make me cry."

I went to college for Graphic Design. The head of my department was old-school to the core, highly learned in the art of printing presses, paste-up, mechanicals, and those enormous effing press cameras that were used to develop the plates for the presses. He was also very welcoming of the new school, so his computer lab was always outfitted with ( Read more... )

Last year, I went to Stanford's campus with Liz's parents and a family friend, just to walk around and see the school. While we were there, we had to dodge a handful of particularly wooly inchworms hanging from the campus trees. They seemed to be all over. One of them even hitched a ride on my shoulder as we walked into Liz's building and into her ( Read more... )
