This was a concept draft for making the ultimate button for a digital portfolio I never got around to doing. It would have started small on the screen, then expanded into a crazy layout. But now that I have this site up, the need has diminished.

“You know, in a European Way”
October 14, 2004Read moreMy mistake! It turns out that watching hair grow is fun, or at least mildly distracting, if you speed it up by a factor of 172800 or so. I especially liked the rationale:
Despite the fact that my husband claimed my hair was sexy — “You know, in a European way” — it had been a year since I decided it might be fun to painstakingly maintain the look of a horribly botched haircut, and I needed a change.
There are a few other projects I’ve seen like this, like this one of one family over 25 years. Hair link via dooce.
I shall now endeavor to use “in a European way” in lieu of “that’s interesting” as much as possible. My verbal horizons: broadened!

Missing Edit Link in WordPress
October 13, 2004Read moreI think I finally figured out a minor WordPress 1.2 mystery: I was wondering why I wasn’t always seeing the “edit this” link when logged in as an Admin. The edit this link was missing sometimes, and present at others! I believe I narrowed it down to the URIs defined in the WordPress “Options Panel”. They must match your link URIs, otherwise you won’t see the “edit this” link.

Kate
October 13, 2004Read more
Here’s a picture of Ekaterina, aka Kate. She was adopted with her brother from Kitty Angels, a no-kill shelter in nearby Tyngsboro, MA. It took her a whole year before she would let me pet her, but she’s friendlier now (if a little overly generous with the paw-swatting).

The Quirky And Alone
October 13, 2004Read moreI was browsing online buddy Tim’s blog for the first time, and found this great link to quirkyalone.net: Quirkyalones are romantics who resist the tyranny of coupledom. […] we are independent-thinking people who would prefer to be open to finding that magical click […] rather than exist in a stifling or unsatisfying romantic relationship.
It’s both serious and silly, which I find automatically appealing. There’s a quiz too; I scored a mere 71, which put me in the “quirkytogether” camp. Which didn’t seem right, so I took the quiz again with a more by-the-spirit interpretation of the questions. This put me nicely in the high 110s…yes!
Tonally, the site reminds me of goths/punks who, as they start to hit their 30s, cover up the tattoos with long sleeves to engage mainline society. There’s even a book, which I promptly added to my Amazon wishlist.
Conceptually, I like the term “quirkyalone” much better than “haplessly single” :)
