Yes, I've been up to my eyeballs in them. Doing a mock-up for a website that features dildos. Been smiling really big. And what a nice change.

Here's a pict of Scott and Amy after they were just married last Friday. And here's their lovely flower girl, Kira. I love weddings at the J.P.'s. Some might see it as a marital production line, but I got a lot of the warm fuzzies just watching all the happy couples—the shy 9:20A, the clinging 9:40A, the 10:20A I saw rushing in with the big bouquet as we were leaving—so hopeful, so in love at that moment.

When Honey and I got married on a Valentines Day, we were the first appointment. When we came out, there was a long line of couples waiting and they threw flowers at us as we passed by. It was wonderful, more for the unexpectedness of the moment. Awww, now I got a tear.

Best advice from someone who's been married four times: Save your money for the honeymoon.

Since I've already broken the clean well-lit barrier today, check out this one that Honey passed on to me: The Naked Magician.

Too much filing lately. The brain finds odd ways to entertain while sorting, stacking, and stapling: The dancing queen, Triumph The Insult Comic Dog gives it to Starwars Nerds

Something gets popular, there's always someone out there trying to make a buck off of it.

MacHeads, after hours of OS X, do you crave the good ol' System, 6.0? Bremsstrahlung will put you in the mood.

Millie Benson, author of the first 23 Nancy Drew books, died a couple of days ago. In a time of The Bobbsy Twins, I was glad to read Nancy Drew. She first introduced me to the word ‘coupe’. Here's her last column, and a list of her columns; in particular, here's her column on what to call senior ‘citizens’.

For pity's sake, give those kids back their lockers. Nothing so sad as seeing a kid carrying around a backpack that's almost as big as they are. Seeing more and more with rolling backpacks.

No press: “Remember, you can sign up for the BPDG mailing lists (providing, of course, that you're not with the free press) and voice your objections as the group proceeds to neuter the technology industry, eliminate your fair-use freedoms, curtail innovation and outlaw free and open-source software.”

I like Dori's word of the day: blogsturbation, the act of going to a tech conference and paying more attention to your email, your weblog, and Web surfing than to the speaker or other attendees.

Wonderful, relaxing Memorial Day weekend, and as always, too damned short.

More of 'where have I been' has bitten me on the ass once again. I just heard Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's verion of Somewhere Over the Rainbow this week. So haunting. His simple beautiful style just hurts right here as I listen. Strange how joy and pain can feel similar.

Have been polling various people who have been to Seattle to get their opinion on what would be nice to squeeze in between the conference sessions. Here's some of the recommendations so far:

• Jazz Alley
• Tula's (other music venues here)
• Larry's Blues Cafe
• Since I got my Lonely Planet map, handy laminated double sided folded map-shows which way the one way streets go, I see that I can hop on the Monorail to go straight to the Space Needle which one person says not to miss. The restaurant makes at least two revolutions while you eat. But also would like to see the Experience Music Project while I'm there to check out the Jimi Hendrix Gallery.
• From November 1, 2000, but maybe some things are still pertinent, The Top 50 Haunts. Here's the intro:

  “Baseball, politics, and hosting major international events clearly aren't Seattle's strengths, but when it comes to going out and drinking, we rock! Take a drive (sober, of course!), and you'll see this city metamorphose into clusters of drunken hamlets—from the nattily dressed crowd spilling onto Belltown's streets to the frat-infested clubs of Pioneer Square, from the colorful quilt of queers and crazies on Capitol Hill to the Bud-swillin' types in Ballard—not to mention the refugees hunkered down in West Seattle watering holes or singing 'You Oughta Know' at the top of their lungs at an International District karaoke joint.”

Nice time waster.

Ooops, time to go to work. Will finish later.
