It appears the Twitter widget in the sidebar has stopped working. WTF, Twitter? W. T. F? Also, the text on my website seems to be displaying differently on this computer. Either that or I’m just crazy. Or both. I usually skim the spam comments before I mass-delete them. The filter has never caught a legitimate comment, but sometimes the spam is almost coherent and occasionally amusing. In the last batch someone begged me to update…
My laptop is dead. Bob set up shop to see what could be done, did some googling of symptoms and found a probable cause of the machine’s demise. There is a known problem with heat causing the soldering to come loose on the graphics chip and once that gets knocked out of place, there’s really no fixing it.

Slept about two hours last night. Calling it a victory because I haven’t been able to stay in bed to sleep at night for over a week now. About 3AM, I was perusing the intarwebz when my computer screen went black. And there it sat.

I also found a metric fuckton of web pages, code, and whathaveyou for all of those long-dead website plans.

We changed into pajamas and took a nap. When we woke up, we slothed our way to the loft and turned on our computers for the first time since shutting them down six days before. I scrolled to the bottom of…
We left home late Sunday night. We got home Saturday afternoon. … We saw Mt Rushmore. It was very cool. … Colorado was awesome. … Red Rocks was incredible. … The concert was FUCKING FANTASTIC. … We drove for over 32 hours and 1800-some miles. … The Curse of the Jetta™ struck TWICE. I am physically and emotionally exhausted. Processing this trip is going to take some time. For now…I need sleep. Because I am…
