My precious
As Manduh has explained it was time for a new monitor. Going backwards is never OK and even lateral movements are only OK in emergency circumstances. To that end when my 1600×1200 monitor died it was either a 1920×1200 or a 2560×1600 monitor. You can see which I chose. Justification? I don’t need no steenkin’ justification but I’ll throw one out there anyway. I’m at my desk 12 hours a day so any small improvement is magnified by the sheer amount of time it is repeated throughout the day, week, month. Having a larger monitor definitely makes for a more comfortable, smooth workspace and environment which makes my day just a little bit better, every day.
Toad trip! (maybe)
Manduh is considering an extended trip to Florida and she and I were being very silly on the phone talking about it and turning it into a road trip. We aren’t going to do it, let’s not be hasty here. Airplanes were invented for a reason. It’s still fun to imagine though. Mile upon mile of the vastness of America. 5 days in a car eating road food. Wait, that sounds like a horrible combination. Road food is not known to be super easy on the tummy. This trip is seeming like a worse and worse idea by the minute…
A little web design
We’re finally pulling the trigger and getting Matt’s website up and running. The new and improved designOUTSIDE.com is live and in color! It all started from what you see on my screen now.
Now that’s a desk
Slowly but surely I’ve been moving junk around and getting to the point where I could put the final piece in, and here it is. 86 inches of strong, smooth wood. It’s going to look like this for about 10 minutes and then I have to start moving stuff on to it but for this one moment in time I’ve managed to capture the clean, modern, swedish look that Ikea was going for when they designed it. I’ll take another picture in a week and we’ll see what happens. What it looks like when it’s a real command center.
Actual blog work at beer and blog
I haven’t made it to a beer and blog event for a while so I was very happy to be back at the original location at the Freakin’ Frog. We’ve had a pretty good turn out and as the photo shows, we’re actually doing some work on a blog. That almost never happens.
Computer problems…I blame the background
Manduh’s computer is having some serious malware issues. I can’t blame her too much. They’re depressingly easy to pick up and I just went through this with Matt like a month ago. Although, upon reflection, I realize that I never seem to contract these myself and I’m on the Internet -a lot-. What the hell are you people doing to get this stuff?!
Edits and some Dexter
Taking a quick moment to clean up some photos before handing them off to the subjects. It’s nice to edit photos because I can also catch up on tv…that’s multitasking!
