As much as I’m enjoying mine and Jen’s new apartment in the city, dealing with a private landlord (or property manager in our case) is a pain in the ass. Our place has all kinds of problems and we’re relying on one guy to fix them. The whole reason I brought Stella to work with […]

Due to the fact that our heater still doesn’t work, our gas oven produced a lot of smoke when we tried to use it for the first time last night and it set off the smoke detector, which wouldn’t turn off, so I had to pull it off the wall and it shocked me, I […]

Today I compiled and launched the latest section of my site: gabeanderson.com: archives Check it out! It’s a fun trip down memory lane (at least for me). There’s a whole lot of content there.

The blog life officially began in May 2002 with this post. Today, however, I decided to import a number of posts from my private blog Think, to which I’ve occasionally posted since October 2000.

This is a pretty cool concept: Achiving every aspect of your life electronically. My blog is certainly a step in that direction, but Microsoft research teams are working on taking it even further through something called MyLifeBits, which aims to archive everything from email to photos to phone calls: ABCNEWS.com : This Is Your Brain […]

What do you do when you’re working from home and have called into a conference call and need to mute your phone so your dogs don’t bark into the phone but your phone is Old School and doesn’t have a “locking” mute feature and you don’t want to sit there holding your thumb or other […]

Today’s Dilbert cracks me up. How funny would it be if everyone took mind-altering drugs and went to work? People would be so much more mellow, I’m sure. It reminds me of a scene in A Very Brady Sequel, wherein Roy Martin eats psilocybin-filled spaghetti ala Alice and says the classic line, “Oh my God, […]
