Caricatures

As I was walking around the local Geranium Festival at the weekend (they completely shut down the center of our sleepy little town for a bunch of vendors to set up stalls) I came across a guy doing caricatures . We've had them done for the kids a few times but this time I stepped up for a laugh!...

Dealing with Mrs Jobsworth

From wikipedia : A jobsworth is a person who uses his or her job description in a deliberately obstructive way, "a minor factotum whose only status comes from enforcing otherwise petty regulations". The term comes from the phrase "I can't do that, it's more than my job's worth...

Living in Gworld

Dan asked me to post an update as I explore deeper into the Google forest. I'm now fully committed to Gmail and Google Calendar (why isn't it GCalendar?) and Outlook is now purely an evil tolerated for work purposes only. And with Rob Howard's tweet this morning about Google Apps for business...

Take your cooler!

It's happened again; Seth posts about something that just happened to me . If it were really a security issue, they'd have to enforce it completely. If it's just a silly policy that someone dreamed up one day, it's sure to annoy people. Because it's irrational. Because it's not...

Memorial Day cooking

Like most holidays, Memorial Day is a day for me to cook some man-food. This almost always involves the grill and my smoker. I've been making some good baby back ribs for a couple of years thanks to my buddy Andy and his web site Andy's Ribs . Ouch, I just saw on his site that he'll no longer...

Personal Update - May 2007

First I must apologize to friends and family who I usually keep some type of regular contact with, I have been slammed lately. I do see the light at the end of the tunnel, though. By the end of next week I think my life will return to its normal chaotic state - which will be a welcome relief from its...
