I’ve been experimenting with a new chess opening that I call The Goatse Opening.
Pictured above is the Goatse Opening (white) in play against the the classic Caro-Kann defense (black).
Now, I’ll admit that the Goatse hasn’t had all it’s kinks worked out yet… In fact, a more anal-retentive person would be quick to point out that [...]
This afternoon, on the yoyoing.com/news forum, Kiya posted this entry about yo-yoers and denim. Here is my reply.
Speaking of denim, I have aquired a bit of selvage scrap that I’ll be experimenting with. Tonight, at our weekly crafting group, I’m going to try to make some wallets. While working with denim can be difficult to [...]
This pic is from an apartment in Portland. It’s some sort of climate control.
I love that the only options are “LO” & “HI” without any indication of what it’s parameters of low or high comfort are (ie- hot or cool).

Previously, I had mentioned that I had created a Yelp account, and now I’ve finally gotten around to writing my first review.
It’s for the Hawthorne Fish House in Portland.

Since then [...]
I have written before about my buddy Kiya’s high end denim store Self Edge, here in the Mission.
On the weekends I ocassionally hang out in Self Edge to yo-yo with Kiya and listen to him talk to customers about the characteristics of really expensive raw denim pants from Japan. One of the things that really [...]
I just created a Yelp account and saw this on my homepage.
Great… so now I’m going to see this every time I log in?
I found this on the internets.
It’s like a magic eye puzzle, the more I study it, the more complex I realize it is… oh, now I see the sailboat.

On a recent “Nerdcore” rss search, this video came up;
The Mathematicians are a north New York band, that seem to cover the grounds between indie rock, synth driven dance music, and some nerdy rappy.
The rapping in the above video is pretty hard to understand and honestly I think I’d like the whole song better if [...]
