I have been assigned via a post on Evelyn’s blog to write seven things about myself and assign seven other people to do this.
things about me:
- I have a slight toothache.
- Theme for tonight’s activities: feed & knead
- Upon arriving home from holiday travel, I was delighted to find that 4 species of seeds I had planted germinated and survived without my ministrations.
- I feel that the weakly-linked nature of this exercise makes it difficult to determine who has responded to the prompting. Perhaps that is intended to promote reading additional blog material not strictly related to answering this question.
- My lesions are healing.
- There are four big drafts burning a hole in my blog.
- The promise of doing a little bit of visual design without a lot of consequence, with loose simple requirements makes me a little bit excited.
links to people who may continue this exercise if they wish:
- Ari Cohen
- Kerry
- Josh Larios
- Stephanie
- Alena
- Joe Ball
- Root
Months ago I saw a street view car driving along Ravenna Blvd. while I was riding back to work after lunch. I waved. Now I am on google street view.

It was released with much fanfare recently, but I am waiting to install WordPress 2.5 until K2 gets a release compatible with it together. I read a post from them that said they were working on it, but they are perennially slow on the releases.
Last weekend I rode in the Taco Truck Time Trial, which was lots of fun. Nobody barfed. Steep hills were ridden on. During the after-party, it started raining, so we had another beer and waited for the rain to stop, but it started hailing and snowing, so we had another and waited it out, but we lost patience and sobriety and eventually went home, and the precipitation didn’t seem like that big a deal, or like it could be tolerated.
I am looking forward to bike camping this summer, and the european bike camping vacation. I’m looking for a nice place to ride to that will simulate riding to the crest of the Corsican mountains at the road to Corte. I guess it’s the Col de Vizzavona.
I have a begonia in my office. When I was
transporting it to my office on my bike, one of
the leaves broke off. Now the leaf has grown into
its own begonia plant. The new plant has four
leaves, including the original one that it grew
from and one small leaf that has not unfolded yet.
I’ve been looking for something with these functions in this kind of a compact keychain form for months. I finally found it at a vineyard on Bainbridge Island while visiting for wine tasting with out of town Minneapolitans Mike and Laura.
It was a bargain at $10. yay!

How do you believe we’ll build a rocket cheaply
will we depart from the humble sands
I don’t want to shirk and wince uprightly
as the torch is falling from my hands
What does the other side of a budget look like
do they rant and holler in the stands
when the word becomes the delayed moment
the gate we pass through isn’t a nand
Can we close in on the rented census
final flight serving its own last meal
all I know is how to step out sweetly
I don’t tangle with electric eels
usurping address
identity matrices
face value mission
poly-modal inquiry
organic arbitration
revitalization
introductory misrepresentation
unified object modeling
exponential backoff
universal inaccessibility
user-centered iteration
spurious variable interpretation
