Yesterday I bought a PlanetBike rear blinky-light. I bought it on a whim—a sort of “huh the sun sure is setting early” whim—and didn’t really do any research beforehand, so I don’t have much of a basis for comparing this particular blinky with other assuredly excellent blinkies.
But. This thing is really friggin bright, [...]
Two notable things happened today. The first is that I finally ordered an electric kettle on Amazon, so that very soon I will be able to make truly ridiculous quantities of coffee with my lovely 8-cup french press and burr grinder combo. Since my current water heating solution is a tiny, ancient microwave [...]
Magic Hat, one of my favorite (and most local!) breweries, is on Twitter: http://twitter.com/magichat/
The best part of their feed is the fun little rhyming slogans that make varying degrees of sense (“Do Not Stroll Through An Open Hole”?) and, I imagine, will eventually make it onto the undersides of their bottle caps (if they aren’t [...]
What’s better than paper-writing? Long exposure photography!

I stumbled across this gleaming jewel of the interwebs, Very Small Array, after a post-olympics-coverage aimless browsing binge, and it kept me up far past my bedtime. There is a mix of romantic whimsy and high-on-the-autism-spectrum (read: nerdy) obsession with data that reminds me of XKCD, but with a little bit of a New [...]
1 cup of coffee
1 “bagel ‘n schmear”
1 GRE vocabulary book
1 package Nestle Toll House Semi-sweet Morsels
0.56 pounds green beans
1 seedless watermelon
I consider the watermelon my great triumph of the day, despite the fact that, as it turns out, watermelons are quite heavy and do not fit easily into small backpacks.
A life update is on the [...]
This week is really starting to look up, after a great game of ultimate (“Dooooooooom”) and a wonderful care package from Ruth. The latter contained this season’s version of the Williams Rape and Sexual Assault Network’s “Ask” t-shirt (in brown, which is turning out to be this season’s color, as well) and a Montana [...]
In reverse chronological order, no less! Tonight I watched the Red Sox finish getting swept by the Angels, over a pint of beer that was not an IPA that I actually really really liked. Earlier I got a call from Bob inviting me out for a sail, which was just the thing to [...]
I’ve gone and done it: I got a twitter. You can now track my every move, documented more-or-less obsessively for the whole world to see. You should get one too! So we can pretend that we’re always hanging out together even though we will often be in entirely different places.
In other news, today was wonderful. [...]
What have I been up to, you ask? Well, a spot of wallowing in a day-long depressive funk, a little ultimate frisbee, nearly two and a half days of sheer geeking-out at NACAP, copious amounts of avoiding my Tibetan Studies paper, and almost actually getting somewhere with research now that Bob’s back in town.
