supafine

And in the event that you do adapt …

So it totally figures that the coldest night of the year would be the night that the motor on our furnace heater-thingie would go kaput.
Maintenance Guru Guy won’t be able to get another one til tomorrow, so until then, we’ll be keeping warm with beer, blankets and … um, beer.
And mebbe a snuggle.
Temperature is […]

Eclectic much?

PHP for the World Wide Web

The Hipster Handbook [I couldn’t help it]

Webmaster in a Nutshell

Monster of God [David Quammen]

Discover magazine [June 2003]

Macworld magazine [February 2004]

And you can see my reading list [well, books I’ve mentioned lately] at All Consuming. It’s […]

Who, me? Condescending? Never.

Sun columnist Kevin Cowherd, on Baltimore’s much-derided snow-wussiness fading after these last two winters:

Now we’re the ones who get to look down on Charlotte, N.C., and Atlanta and all those other towns where they’re completely unable to deal with a little snow.
Now we’re the ones who can watch news footage of traffic crawling on the […]

Newsflash.

From Fox Baltimore news station:
“This is traditionally the coldest part of the year,” said weather service meteorologist Andy Woodcock.
No shit, Sherlock. Another good reason for not watching television anymore.
P.S. Baltimore, for chrissakes, it’s just snow. You can still drive in it, walk in it, and get around in it. Other cities are laughing at […]

Spike heels and cigarettes: A sketch

During a random instant-message conversation, it was decided that I’m changing my name to Marta Betskova, moving to the Ukraine, and starting up a new crime cartel [emphasis on cocaine and arms dealing]. My new partner, the platinum-blonde ice queen Amaru, will join me at our Scandinavian bat-cave to plan the particulars of our quest […]

Like New Coke with 8 percent alcohol by volume

A question posed earlier this evening to Matt, who was only one sheet to the wind: “Say you have a bottle of Grand Spumante. Half a bottle. And said bottle has been chilling in the refrigerator for 15 months. Is it still OK to drink? Will I die of fermentation?”
The happy answer, my friends, is […]

Is Bobby really your friend?

Damn, dude, who knew? I thought Friendster died. Guess not.
I opine that some people who maintain painfully witty Friendster profiles and elaborate friend networks should just blog instead.
And then, of course, inform me about it.
Hmm. And, best as I can tell from Virginia, all the cool kids are doing Orkut, anyway.

Mayhaps it’s not just me.

While reading yet another book about human origins, evolution and the irrepressible Darwin, I found this:
Each of us finds a comfortable position somewhere along the continuum that ranges from complete withdrawal and self-absorption at one end to full civic engagement and reciprocity at the other. The position is never fixed. We fret, vacillate, and […]

Urk!

The images in the title bar above are random. If you’re very bored, you can refresh the page a few times to see other images. The drawings are by Iain. The drunk trucker guy is clip art.

Patience is a virtue

I’m just here to regulate funkiness.
In the process of switching Supafine to a new design. This may make things funky for a few minutes, so if you need your fix and things look weird, come back in 10, OK?
Update: Things seem to be mostly in place. Let me know if anything is acting funny.
Just […]
