Seeing Batman at the IMAX. Testing the Wordpress iPhone app.

Best. Store. Ever.

Found deep in the heart of Oklahoma. Makes you want to stop, doesn’t
it? Not just junk–good junk!

…IKEA is the only place smart enough to put four casters on shopping carts instead of two? Being able to slide your cart sideways (and spin it in a circle, and push it forward at a 45 degree angle) is awesome! You’d think someone else would have figured this out by now, but maybe they think the average customer isn’t up to the task of handling a cart that can move easily in any direction. Wouldn’t want to convenience anyone, now would we?

Seriously though, you should check it out if you have an IKEA nearby. The novelty just doesn’t get old. :)

We’ve updated blog engines again, this time from Typo to Wordpress.  Dustin had to move our sites anyway due to a server change at our hosting company, so we decided to update to a blog that actually has active development.  Let me know if you see any weirdness with the site or the RSS feed.

So I’ve been looking to get a new purse for a while now. I’m very much in love with the Seatbelt bag, but I refuse to spend $100 on a purse. I’m just too cheap. However, I’m also too picky and I didn’t really like any of the cheap purses I found.With that in mind, I set out to make myself a new purse (one that I would hopefully not be ashamed to carry in public). Here are the results, I think it came out really well, though I must say it looks better in person than on camera.

(Click for bigger images, those in RSS may need to visit the site to see the images… trying out the lightbox thing, we’ll see how it goes…)

Unless, of course, you meant five nines of downtime. (For those of you who don’t know what this means, check Wikipedia here).

It appears our hosting server has had some issues lately, causing an abnormal number of reboots, and Dustin’s auto startup script for our stuff isn’t working anymore. Combine this with the fact that we don’t know the site is down unless we visit it ourselves (which you can tell from my posting history happens rarely at best), and you get random long outages.

We’re working on it and hopefully the site will stay up for more than five minutes in the future. Maybe.
