Begin Apple Pimping… NOW! OK… Apple released iTunes for Windows… and iTunes Music Store (iTMS) for Windows today. I have had the luxury of using the world’s best audio player on my Mac for some time. Now… I can enjoy it on my Windows machine at work. If you don’t believe me… download it and…
A Mother’s Advice
A week or so ago I told Jesse that I had written a poem about socks. It took me a while to dredge this one up, but here it is. It’s an early effort at a “funny” poem. I don’t think I really succeeded. Oh well. –sam A Mother’s Advice Love is a dirty pair…
Recent House Projects…
Here’s a page of recent projects I’ve done around my house. Some of them are crappy, some aren’t. http://www.lilbrownboy.com/Recent%20Projects.html The trash can lamp was made out of a plastic trashcan, special craft paper, and a standard plug-in lamp cord. Idea = me & liz. The kitchen hutch and pot rack was made of galvanized plumbing…

From the back cover… “150 years from now… Humans impose their will and technology on a distant planet… 3500 years from…
Re-Learning Geometry…
Whew… yesterday was great. I learned how to mark a site with the footprint of a house. There were so many things about a house that I had never considered before. It’s relationship to the surrounding countryside, the tree line, the sun, available shade and prevailing winds. Once that was figured out… it was a…
