Beautiful PSA

February 8th, 2010

I saw this UK PSA today via Digg and it is quite impressive. Unlike most of the bloody, gory, scary PSAs usually used, this one is quite pleasant to watch, but I think makes its point.

Snow Day

February 6th, 2010

Hidden Valley DriveI spent a great day today snowed in because we got about 10 inches of snow here in Richmond.  It was a beautiful, wet, dense snow that stuck to everything and made for some amazing photos.

I also started another new knitting project from “One More Skein“.  I am knitting myself a new washcloth using the Pencil Sketch pattern.  I started using one of the knitted washcloths I made for the Co-op sale, and I fell in love.  It is so much nicer than using the store-bought kind, so I am making myself a second.  This way I can actually wash my first washcloth :) .

I recently completed yet another in my recent string of knitting projects and while it didn’t turn out how I hoped, I am pleased enough with the end result that I wanted to share.

Technology Today: Hacker House

January 22nd, 2010

I am currently sitting in a room full of fellow geeks at a “Hacker House” party hosted by a friend of mine.  While most of the conversation revolves around programming and other parts of geekery that I am not as well versed in, I am actually finding it more interesting than I expected.  I have even been able to introduce friends to new Linux programs I use and teach a fellow female geek to use Picasa.

What an unexpectedly fun evening of geekdom.

If Air travel worked like our health care system

January 8th, 2010

I know I haven’t posted recently, but I saw this video today, and I can’t pass up the opportunity to share this with everyone.

So true and so depressing at the same time:

This makes such an important point about the obsurdity in our heath care system

Shiny Suds are watching you!!

November 19th, 2009

Method (a natural cleaning product company) has a new ad out in support of the Household Product Labeling Act.  According to Method, the Household Product Labeling Act would require all cleaning products to list all ingredients on their labels.  Instead of the typical scare tactics, Method uses a bit of humor to raise awareness for the new bill.

A Very Ubuntu Halloween to You!

October 23rd, 2009

I have always loved Halloween. Maybe it is all the candy or maybe it is getting to play dress up, but for sure I have always liked pumpkin carving. Though, I haven’t gotten to do much of it myself. I only have the vaguest memory of carving a pumpkin as a child, and the last time Matt and I tried to carve one together it turned into an class on Matt’s perfection in everything. Don’t get me wrong, we had an amazing pumpkin, but I wasn’t really allowed to help.  So, to make up for it this year, Matt and I got a pumpkin from Dougherty orchards, and I got to be in charge of carving it.

October 5th, 2009

Luckily Matt isn’t well represnted by this video, but I couldn’t help but pass it along.  It is quite funny and I am sure true for some pastors.

Help me pick new glasses

September 30th, 2009

I went to the eye doctor today for my checkup and to get new frames.  I have always had very unique frames, but I wanted to go with a little something different this time.  So, Matt, the very nice lady at the eye Dr’s office, and I spent quite a while whittling down the never ending selection.  I have come up with two options, and the eye Dr. was nice enough to let me take them home and get some opinions.

So here is where I need your help…  I will post photos of both options below ,and it would be very helpful if you could give me your honest opinion on which frame is the best.
