I’ve been negligent in my event-reporting duties. This weekend (June 2-3) San Diego gets its very own BarCamp, and I’ll be there along with lots of awesome people. Topics so far include programming, photography, yoga, knitting, metal fabrication, and monkeys. (Yes, the last one is mine.)
If you’re in the San Diego area and have a [...]

You cannot resist the Flying Spaghetti Monster Hat.
The Pope has a special hat. Rabbis have special hats. Rastafarians have special hats. Why not Pastafarians?

It’s not Chariots of Fire, but still.
The Spit is Exhausted.
It has performed its tast admirably, and I will return to it again and again. But not for this project! For I have finished! I have… SOCKS!

*Feeling the heat.*
“Charlotte Lucas has just accepted Mr. Collins,”:http://librivox.org/pride-and-prejudice-by-jane-austen-solo-project/ and I have just begun the foot of the sock (part two). The days are counting down to the completion of the union of the two (socks), and I am feeling the pressure, though I admit my own happy occasion must be one of more [...]

*The pattern’s the thing.*
Chris has taken the camera and flown away, leaving me with the old camera with which to document my progress. The problem is that the old camera will not take photos unless the lighting is full natural light. As I tend to photograph and post at about, oh, 11:30 at [...]

*Tion Medon*

For those of you counting, there [...]

*The view from here is pretty good.*
The sock, a work in progress, as adorned by Hershey:
This is the only shot in which he did not a) lick the sock, b) chew the needles, or c) grab the sock with a deadly-inaccurate claw. If it had been alpaca, y’all would be reading a somewhat expletive-heavy [...]

*A true athlete looks beyond the pain.*
So today began the fourth day. I’m feeling it in my upper arms. You laugh? You try to grip sticks of wood half the diameter of chopsticks in your fingertips and maneuver string with them for hours at a stretch.
Sorry. I’m a bit [...]
