iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

True friends ignore the dust in your home just as you ignore it in their homes. My 6'3" tall uncle would comment on our dusty refrigerator. My 5'1.5" mother would hand him a dust cloth. (And she always included the .5", so it felt necessary here.)

There's always room for improvement, obviously.

We were all so young then. Naive. Full of hope. I might need to boot up the Windows '95 PC mouldering in the garage and find the floppy disk of the entire After Dark suite of screensavers.

Workarounds suck, and I've tried getting away from them but sometimes they're necessary. But when you can't use your system at all it's painful.

It was a brilliant pie, I'll admit. Having been purchased 500 miles (~800 km) from home at a one-location bakery, I am all too aware.

Unfortunately, most of said pie's life was spent in the camper where there just wasn't room in the piefrigerator. By yesterday that ship had sailed. This is what I deserve for always trying to be fair, even though I know wife is not nearly as enthusiastic about pie as I am. I'll never learn.

Shortening words like all the kids are these days. I'm hip, I get it.

Not that I recall, but anything is possible.

I know. I guess I'll either learn a harsh lesson or be pleasantly surprised in 15 minutes.

Precisely why I need to buy them. I don't have patience for them to turn up *eventually*.

Let me just get my background chorus and silly hat.

I'm grateful I only witnessed the footprints as evidence. Imagine walking in on that!

You're thinking Vince and Andy. No Herb in Erasure.

What's the perimeter? Just the inner suburbs, or the borders with Wisconsin and Indiana? I've been sitting at O'Hare waaaay too long.

This is a roller coaster of happiness and the highlight of the last 36 hours. Read and be happy.

Come visit Cleveland. We'll hit all of Asiatown!

No, I don't think my model is wireless enabled. Temp control is an old-school dial. I should look into that, I'm fairly low-tech. At minimum, I should get a set of wireless probes.

This is what I came in to find. Fine if it's just your desk, but otherwise rude.

That time a new employee completely took over my desk. Pink and orange and Dalmatian spots.

I don't have an answer for that, and I've been. However, I'm still trying to plan a road trip through Salina that doesn't seem like it's only about getting burgers at the Cozy Inn again.

Thank you for triggering it! I'll have to tell her on our weekly call tomorrow.

Pork rinds are heavenly. I can't say I've ever had a salty shrimp chip, but my gauge for saltiness has a pretty high baseline.
