clamoring is in town, so she and sgt_keso had a barbecue this evening, which offered a perfect excuse for sgt_keso to show off his current led technical marvel. This week he is working on installing led lights in bike wheels so when the bike is ridden, the lights will form animations. Currently he is just at the stage where he can make pretty colorful shapes when ( Read more... )

Saw the IMAX version of OotP with the Seattle Harry Potter Meetup group yesterday along with rakka and leff. I was a bit worried that watching the ending in 3D would ruin it because even with today's fancy 3D technology, there is still a bit of blur.

That's not a word I hear ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I'm taking off to New Orleans for Phoenix Rising. SpellCast will be doing a live podcast on Saturday night. I won't be partaking in the podcast though because I'll be next door at the WWN (Wireless Wizarding Network). FictionAlley will also have a table there where you can drabble or drawble on a balloon--let your creativity take flight

Something amused me today, and I thought, "Hey, I should blog about that," but not that I'm sitting here at my computer, for the life of me I can't remember what it was. What did I even do today? Hmm, I woke up early to talk Aflac with some employees at a company in Georgetown. Came back and read some (I picked up Cassie Clare's City of Bones at ( Read more... )

I'm trying to get rid of one of my tenant's couch on craigslist, which then got me to peruse some of the other listings on craigslist. My favorite so far is ( Read more... )
