25 Dec 2006Have I told you why I love my wife?
For Christmas, she bought me The Complete Calvin and Hobbes.
Swooooonnn!
Oh, and there were some other presents as well.

Apparently there’s quite the blizzard pounding Colorado. [here and here]
And your point is…?
Remember:
You live at 3,000 ft and above
Those big rocky and pointy things in your backyard? They might have some effect on the weather
It’s Winter…well, officially tomorrow
I gew up in the Rocky Mountain Trench. After November 1st, it’s not if, it’s when the snow [...]

12 Dec 2006Over the last two years, Fisher Space Pans have taken on near iconic status with the leaders (and followers) in the trendy nouveau geek crowd.
Paul Fisher died recently at 93. [via Notebookism]
Having “donated” four space pens to the cosmos through my own absent-minded behaviour, I can say that I have done my bit to help [...]
I went to the Natural History Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum today, which isn’t too shabby considering that I am jet-lagged and trying to get my body on the local schedule after taking the red-eye in.
The Da Vinci exhibit had pages from his notebooks and sketchbooks. Seeing the mind of a genius, the [...]
Since August of this year, I have been exploring the insides of my mind in greater detail. If you read this blog regularly, you are pretty likely aware of the fluctuations in my mood, and the rationality of my behaviour.
If you get the chance, find and watch The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive hosted [...]

27 Aug 2006I sat down and finally read my copy of Never Eat Alone, by Keith Ferrazzi. Well, I agonizingly got my way through 80% of the book before I threw it across the room in disgust.
What a load of crap.
There might be a message in the book somewhere. But the book is mostly about Mr. Ferrazzi’s [...]

26 Aug 2006Alan at MREater hit the jackpot when he gave a supply sergeant a lift.
As a bonus he got a Fisher Space Pen. And of course…
It’s the perfect companion to the “Rite in the Rain†All-Weather Field Book the soldier also gave to me. Nothing like a friendly supply sergeant. The Field Book has paper “created [...]

25 Aug 2006I wandered around the net today, linking random connections together. Richard Thompson, John Martyn, Nick Drake.
When I visited Nick Drake’s official site (sadly out of date) I found this lovely image dominating the front page.
A lovely, weathered, black leather notebook.

22 Aug 2006After more than a year, my first Moleskine notebook is nearly done.
A year!?!
Yes, a year. All that I have been using it for is work notes, jotting down the facts that make my customers and colleagues get up every morning.
