Rands In Repose posts a list of peoples’ personal quirks that he gathered via Twitter. I share a bunch of them, but I’ve got a whole pile of unique ones, too: I always make sure the paper coffee cup’s seam (and sleeve fold if there is one) is directly below the sipping hole so I […]
I finished a consulting project yesterday that had been taking up most of my free time for the past couple of weeks. It has been nice to relax so far this weekend without that constant worry: “Isn’t there something else productive that I should be working on?” And for the first time in quite a […]
Context: On February 17 of next year, analog television stations will cease broadcasting. This will no doubt upset a lot of people living in rural areas who do not currently pay for cable. Fortunately, the government is partially subsidizing digital converter boxes for those who do not yet have a television with a digital tuner […]
Possible Apple Store in Greenville Someone with their finger on the pulse of Greenville commerce has hinted to me that part of the downtown area may be due for a revitalization, and that the developers want to coax Apple to build a store here. I wonder what that will do to iPlace, open only since […]
For all the Southern quirks of the English language that I’ve noticed since moving, Jennifer has only found one that pervades my own Northern dialect. Here’s an example exchange: Jennifer: I’m going to brush my teeth, and then I’ll be ready to go. Daniel: Okay, I’ll go start the car awhile. My usage of the […]
I’m getting married tomorrow evening. It’s quite a large thought, and it hasn’t previously been quite so. Of course it was large at the time of initiation, but it really began to loom when we were all standing on the stage at Grace tonight, rehearsing. My friends and her friends, all gathered to ring in […]
This morning we saw the play Hooray for Thanksgiving, put on by the highly accomplished drama troupe known as The Mrs. Nalley’s 1st Grade Class Players. I noticed with amusement that the Thanksgiving turkey, while being taunted in song that he would be eaten soon and how did he feel about that, was still being […]
I’m sitting on the couch, wrapping up work for the day, listening to the guy upstairs witness to the neighborhood kids. He’s using his shofar as an object lesson, which is a pretty cool idea. And contrary to my currently-cynical expectations of modern adolescents, a few kids are apparently listening and thinking about it.
When moving to a new locale, one must sooner or later explore the local eateries, to see which are best suited for which types of meals: solo lunches, lunches with Jennifer, and dinners. After my somewhat ill-fated visit to NickHenry’s on Monday (not recounted here yet), I decided to try the comfortably-named Grandma Peaches’ Café […]
Tomorrow I’m moving again. No, the engagement between Jennifer and I hasn’t dissolved and I’m not moving back north in a huff. I’m just moving to a new apartment. One with more than one room. It’s pretty nice. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and is in a very nice apartment complex 10 minutes […]
