| This entry is part 6 of 6 in the series, 2007 Running. On July 4th, I volunteered for and ran in my first Brentwood Firecracker 5K. It was very well organized, especially considering how large it was (~1300 runners). Registration went smoothly, the race started on time, there was plenty of food (and beer!), and the door prizes were well worth |

| This entry is part 5 of 6 in the series, 2007 Running. Well, this year's Us Too Fathers' Day 10K wasn't entirely as bad as last year's (which, BTW, seems worse in hindsight than it did at the time). It wasn't great, either. Pros: It was a lot cooler than last year. The walkers started at different time and |

| Tags: Personal |
| I have been having a rough time this past month. Besides my usual (and sometimes dramatic) shifts in mood, I have been suffering from an eye infection. This eye infection started out where it felt as though I had road salt in my eyes but it progressively worsened to the point where it has driven me nearly to the edge of sanity -- which considering |

An essay that shines light on perfect details and invites you into a space that feels intimate, revealing and fascinating. And if it also bears relationship to food/cooking/eating, I become nearly inarticulate with bliss. I |

| I would like to take an aside and delve into a related topic that has been on my mind for the past few months: Comment spam. Though it doesn’t have much to do with content theft, I have several reasons for wanting to cover this. First many of the RSS scrapers and spam bloggers also use this technique to supplement their work. Second, in some |

| 7/22/2007I just got a call today from a good friend who I haven't heard from in a while. I usually don't talk a lot about my friends, excuse me, my acquaintances, because I'm not really close with most of them like I used to be. However, I consider this friend one of my really good friends because we have known each other since probably the |

A mindless filling it white. Another mindless smudge tool across the image and then a brush that made dots (and with them the eyes and the mouth).. And this is |
