    -Last night Reagan and I toned down her blob a bit. I kind of like the way that it turned out. Very clean and simple. Every time I tried to get fancy with it, Reagan, vetoed. -The weather is supposed to continue to be super mild for the duration of the week. This means absolutely…

    Reagan and I had a very enjoyable weekend. In addition to the Piper visits, we paid a visit to Brooklyn Industries, so that Reagan could exchange one of her Christmas presents (above). Then, Saturday night we had a little get-together for Reagan’s birthday. It was a lot of fun. I ran to grab the camera,…

    We had such an awesome visit with Piper this weekend. She was awake the whole time. We started her on the DC this weekend. Although, she had some trouble getting the lid of. We gave her a bath and combed her hair like Zach Efron (sp?). You can check out the rest of the pics…

    [photo by trevor Little] -I missed out on the Red Bull Snowscraper event yesterday/last night. I don’t feel too bad about it, since it was way too cold to be standing around outside for a long period of time (and I was working, kind of late). There is a rumor that it is going to…

    I’m actually not really sure that these count as art. So, the title may be a little misleading. I have been doing a lot of work on the side, with my whole web development hobby and it reminded me of when I used to spend hours in the old Abobe Flash program making nerdy little…

    Reag, Piper called and wanted me to tell you she says happy birthday. Oh yeah, and one more thing: I want to say Happy Birthday!

    The other day, one of my friends accused me of not liking hip-hop. I was completely stunned, at first. The more that I thought about it, the more it made sense. Because, honestly, I haven’t really been a fan of a lot of the stuff that has come out recently, claiming to be hip-hop. I…

    The bad: I just finished doing our taxes, and because Reagan doesn’t have withholdings, we have a massive IRS payment to make by April 15th. Yuck. The good: I received an email from Coke today, telling me that the “10 code per day” limit, at mycokerewards.com will no longer be in effect after Feb. 16.…

    Yamaha released the specs of the 2009 YZR-M1 (Valentino Rossi’s bike) this week. It is all of the usual crap: >200 hp, >320 kmph, Ohlins, Marchesini, Brembo, etc., etc.. But the part worth noting, was not in the spec sheet. Rossi gave a Q and A, which was also released this week. Rossi spoke briefly…

  • Has pink ginger gone out of style?

    This may seem like a dumb question, but where did the pink ginger go? I’m referring, of course to the Gari, that the delivery guy always brings with the sushi. I swear, it always used to be pink. Starting about 6 or 8 months ago, it has been an off-white color. At first, I thought…
