io rising

sense :: hearing // Nighthawks – Hornflakes Diner
Or perhaps that should be Io landing, because one way or the other, I finally have my shiny delicious MacBook Pro. I was, as I said yesterday, obsessively tracking the package via FedEx, and as soon as the delivery failed (because I was naturally at werk and not [...]

obsessive tracking

sense :: hearing // G – Trance Point
So apparently Io is out for delivery RIGHT NOW.
Yeah, I’ll be obsessively tracking the thing until the driver tries to deliver it and undoubtedly will fail, since I’m sitting at werk. At that point I”ll be able to call up and ask to pick the item [...]

a weekend from my weekend

sense :: sight // obsessively tracking packages
The weekend was lovely, don’t get me wrong, but man I could have used another day to spend in bed.
Friday night I found out that my precious shipped, and I’ve been obsessively tracking it ever since. Don’t worry, as soon as it arrives, I’ll do the whole unpacking [...]

hands off my mixer

sense :: hearing // Derrick Carter – Pagan Offering
So among other things, BoingBoing alerted me to a push in Japan to essentially outlaw old electronics for some horrifically unknown reason. There’s more information on the craziness in the comments of the blog that BoingBoing linked to. The masses took to the streets to protest, as [...]

bikers get no love

sense :: hearing // DJ Cam – Zend Avesta
So Zannah is helping me indulge my wallpaper fix and went ahead and posted InterfaceLIFT, which has not just a ton of wallpeprs, but icons and other goodness that’ll keep me busy for most of the afternoon. This is actually a good thing-I was just saying that [...]

we were never being boring

sense :: hearing // Pet Shop Boys – Being Boring
I’m having the hardest time waiting for my MacBook Pro to ship. I mean man, it’s hard counting down those days, let me tell you. I really can’t wait.
On the way home from Pennsylvania, Raevyn and I listened to some recordings of

and she wrote back

sense :: sight // emails in my inbox
Remember a while back when I wrote one of my geekly journalistic heroines, Xeni Jardin to ask her advice on getting into tech journalism and whatnot, and she wrote me back last night. I got back from a long long drive, settle into my chair, and lo and [...]

bringing the noise

sense :: smell // car exhaust
It was a nice weekend. The sunsets in PA where Raevyn’s mom and friends live are absolutely gorgeous, and it’s always a trip to get together with the people up there and hang out. We used to see them far more often than we do now, but man, definitely miss [...]

apple loves me

sense :: hearing // Elsa – Open the Door
And I love Apple.
So if you haven’t heard by now, I’m soon to become the proud new owner of a beautiful baby MacBook Pro.
The story goes like this: I had speccd one out a while back and saved it in my “saved cart” over at the [...]

not all that mongolian to me

sense :: sight // episodes of dl.tv
So I went to mongolian grill for lunch today, with a few colleagues, to properly welcome our new immediate supervisor and say farewell to my old supervisor who got promoted (I’ll miss him a lot, he was really cool and the first person I’d met at the company who [...]

something or other

sense // sight :: Firefly
So we finished the DVDs of Firefly, and now I’m incredibly nervous to watch Serenity, because of the liberties I know they took with the series, and I’ve heard from hardcore Firefly fans that Serenity isn’t quite up to snuff with the standards they set in the universe, but then I’ve [...]

the need for speed

sense :: taste // crossanwiches
I was behind a car this morning with all kinds of awesome bumper stickers on it, from a Diesel Sweeties sticker and other awesome pixellated tidbits (like a ghost from Pac Man) to an Esthero sticker, the back of the car was covered with goodness. It makes me want to pick [...]

escapism

sense :: taste // cold tea
Okay, I know I’ve said this before, but it’s seriously time for me to look for a new job.
Among the places I’d absolutely love to work would be Google, whose offices seem to be quite lovely indeed. I don’t even know what location those photos are taken from, but [...]

glow in the dark planties

sense :: hearing // Deadbeats – Enter the Redman
I went to bed early last night; way too early; falling asleep around 9PM. I suppose it’s just what I needed, since I had incredibly lucid and realistic dreams over the course of the evening, some of them causing me to wake up at least once. I [...]

painter of somethin’

sense :: sight // new desks
We had a lovely three day weekend, injuries aside. We took Friday off to sleep in and put together our new desks and tv stand for the computer room that we had purchased from Ikea earlier in the week, and after assembling our desks and tv stand and finding out [...]
