Well, it’s crawling towards 2:00 am and I feel no closer to sleep than I did when I first got in bed two hours ago. I really hate this. I would very much like to get a good night’s sleep and get to work early tomorrow, but that’s looking less likely with each [...]

In today’s computing environments, there is more and more demand for networked services. Microsoft’s .NET initiative was all about creating a system for programming networked applications.
But there is still a dearth of accepted standards, and there’s a lot of friction between systems on the Internet trying to pass data back and forth. A [...]
Yesterday was a day-long cycling and knitting oddyssey for me. Since I hadn’t gotten any exercise all week, I hopped on my bike in the morning and rode down to the yarn barn to do some work on the Fenna. I got a couple rows done and chatted with the ladies, then started [...]
So I have this tragedy of a socklet sitting here on my desk, taunting me with its ill fit and sloppy bind offs. It’s been a discouraging presence on my desk for the last week, frankly, and I think I’m about to send it off to the great unknown of abandoned knit artifacts. [...]

Last night I met my buddy Todd at the Candlelight Café for dinner and hacking. We’ve been playing around with this new plugin for Firefox called Greasemonkey, which lets you do some really, really cool stuff. Basically it allows you to automatically edit the content of a web page after you’ve loaded it [...]
Aww, I just got some good vibes from the world’s favorite search engine.
I was writing an e-mail to my work knitting friends to let them know I wouldn’t be around at lunch today, and I decided to throw in a bit of knitting trivia. Since I’m going to be out getting my bike wheels [...]
I just remembered something that the Fantastic Four comics used to make me think about, namely the Invisible Woman and, well, her invisibility.
There are three types of invisibilty in comics (that I’ve heard of, anyway). The first is Invisible Woman style, which happens because she warps light around her. The second is H.G. [...]
I went out after work and did a short ride in 100°+ heat. It turned out to be almost half as I had intended, but that was okay - I sweat enough for twice the length. I have got to start doing this more often - I felt great afterwards.
As I was telling [...]
