Here we have Al Franken talking with teabaggers who turn out to be reasonable people who want to discuss something with their Senator that they don’t agree with. Below that, you will see Congressman Barney Frank being very funny and dismissive of an aggressively crazy lady.
Note how appropriately they respond. Franken gives a nuanced response [...]
Carrie and I got back late last night from Vienna and Prague. We exhausted ourselves but good! I’ll be posting things about it as I edit my recorded thoughts into sentences.
Many of our pictures are shitty. It’s a poor craftsman who blames his tools, but I’m a poor photographer, and part of that argument is [...]
As is traditional in this day and age, I spent a fair chunk of my weekend trying to figure out if I’d lost all of my work from the last eight years. Fortunately, my backups were what they appeared to be and my machine’s running better than it has in months.

OK, I’ve mooned over my honey, and now I’m out of money. So I’m back from Block Island and back in the saddle.
I’ve got a couple of graphic design jobs going on — a landscape architect who seems like a really good guy, and a woman whose company makes baby slings. The second is an [...]
Sharp-eyed L-Dopan Jeff noticed that the ring in the picture below is really the One Ring. It’s true! I didn’t have any photos of our rings handy, and I liked the little joke.
