Dude, not THAT McCain. God, I am shameless. And for my link-baiting sins this site is probably being monitored by the FBI right now right now.
The McCain in the title refers to a binding style known as McCain. It is a case-bound and side-sewn style. Jargon free version: folded piles of paper stitched together through [...]

Tonight was the 10th anniversary of the last episode of Seinfeld (and coincidentally, the last call for Mr. Francis Albert Sinatra). I always got a kick out seeing the Mac in the background of Seinfeld’s apartment, and how he silently “upgraded” each year to Apple’s latest and greatest. In the final season, Jerry even had [...]

A Lament

The birch are popping a crazy out-of-gamut green, something like L74a(65)b65, The magnolias are blooming default [paper] on Comm Ave. and even my grass is a greener shade of brown. So what better time than [...]

Because my friends don’t really understand what I do, I often get asked by them to do things that are outside my area of knowledge
Can you design my letterhead/business card/logo?
I’m not a designer. I know more about design than I used to, and I have a decent sense of the basics, but I’m not going [...]

OK, it’s Friday, time for a little goofiness. Well, a little more goofiness than the other 6 days of the week.
XML.
XML XML XML XML XML XML XML XML XML.

What started out as a joke in another post becomes a post in itself. C’est la blog.
Here’s my writing routine: Around 9 PM I head downstairs and settle in on the couch in the family room with my laptop. Shortly thereafter I am joined by two 11-week-old Siamese furballs named Sasha and Storm who make [...]

Time again to peek in on our cookbook project and see if it’s baked yet. You know they say you lose 10° every time you open the oven door. So does that mean if I opened it enough times, I could turn the oven into a freezer? Just wondering.
