Karen’s Seattle Trip

August 20, 2009

Had a great weekend up in the Seattle area, visiting Tara. We saw a couple of movies, listened to Nanci Griffith play music at the zoo, and played a little WoW (when the internet connection allowed). We also visited the Gasworks Park (after a stop at a bakery for breakfast) and took a walk along [...]

I Love Data

August 5, 2009

Maybe it’s the scientist in me or maybe it’s the communicator (because isn’t raw data the very building blocks of communication), but I love data. Data on just about anything: animals, web trends, weather, etc. And put that data into a colorful, interactive package and what could be better?
The NY Times did just that with [...]

Visiting Day At Josie’s Camp

July 13, 2009

Ted and I took the Catalina Express over to Two Harbors and then a little boat up to Catalina Island Camps yesterday to visit Josie. She was at crafts when we got there and finished the necklace we were making, then showed us around camp. She’s having a great time. I think she grew again [...]

Disneyland Duathlon

July 11, 2009

Laura, Rachel and I participated in the Disneyland Duathlon in June. A duathlon is a run-bike-run, so we started on main street of Disneyland, ran around the park and out to the parking lot across the street, got on our bikes and road around the two parks twice, then ran through California Adventures.
Lots of fun, [...]

Josie set sail for camp on Monday. She’s off to Catalina, where she gets to sleep in a cabin on the beach, snorkel, and sail. They also have wake-boarding, archery, nature, crafts, and garden activities. We’re going to go visit her on Sunday, so we’ll have photos from the visit.

Ah, iPhone, how do I love thee, let me count the ways…

July 4, 2009

Ted and I each got iPhones last month (I know, I know, just before the new ones came out, but our other phones’ contracts were up, and even so, we were charged an extra $70 or so because we didn’t switch over right).
We love them. I actually enjoy speaking on the phone with people and [...]

My Boy Bin

July 1, 2009
Bin

Yes, I’m an altaholic and I try not to love any of my toons more than the others, but Bin has found a special place in my heart. I’ve been playing him for awhile. He’s a tauren druid, but he didn’t really click for me until I changed his name to Binturong (from Prewitt) and [...]

Stagnant Blog a Sign of a Vital Business?

April 17, 2009

Whenever a client wants to have a blog on their website, I caution them that they need to set a schedule for posting to that blog because one of the first things I look at on a website is the date of the last blog entry. Theoretically, if that date is well in the past [...]
