Corked

2006-10-07T22:52:24Z

Rumor has it I can now compose with HTML. Let's make a test... So I'm trying cork'd, the new web-based wine-tracker. It's a keen idea, and looks very nice. You enter information about the wines you own, and about the wines you try, and that infor...

QotD: Right Before I Doze Off

2006-09-26T14:31:13Z

What's the last thing you usually do or think about before you fall asleep? Because I am an overweight middle-aged man, I have quite the nightly ritual. I would love to read in bed before dozing off, but Kris puts the kibosh on that. (Or tries t...

QotD: Game On

2006-09-07T14:50:57Z

What was the last game you played? I've played about twenty minutes of World of Warcraft over the past week, but with a friend's account. I'm a big WoW junkie during the falls and winters, but it seems just a little early to be starting. Maybe a...

QotD: Sugar, Sugar

2006-07-25T23:34:22Z

What was your favorite candy when you were a kid? How does that compare to now? My favorite candy? Pop Rocks? Lemonheads? Redhots? When I was a boy, growing up in the seventies, there was an old-fashioned variety store in our small town. They had...

QotD: Shaken not stirred

2006-07-21T21:05:23Z

Mmm. Cocktails. Sometimes I worry that I'm becoming something of a lush. There's nothing better on a hot summer day than a Gin Fizz. In fact, I just finished one! Here's how I make my Gin Fizz: I put two tablespoons of lemon juice and two tablesp...

QotD: Midway Through

2006-07-20T22:40:40Z

By the end of the year, I want to write a book. I want to write a personal finance book that's accessible to the average person, one that's not bogged down in gimmicks, one that isn't trying to sell anything, one that doesn't belabor points. Just ...

QotD: Celebrational Muppetational!

2006-07-19T21:32:44Z

My favorite Muppet? Kermit, of course. It ain't easy being green. Kermit is smart. He's sensible. He keeps a cool head in the midst of craziness. He has a great sense of humor. He's self-depricating. He's organized. He's talented. And he's a frog...

QotD: Weekend Wrap-Up

2006-07-16T22:42:28Z

What did I do this weekend? I biked into Portland. Wow. Portland is known as one of the top U.S. bicycling towns. I knew that. I see the cyclists all over the city. For a time in the late nineties I was even a cyclist myself (albeit in Canby, ab...
