little Bleecker left mama a nice surprise this morning: a dug up plant and…well, that there ain’t no sausage! apparently white wine goes well with it.

overall though, that’s the only mistake they’ve made since moving to the new place and they’ve taken well to the new toilet, this incident notwithstanding.

moving day - the giant shelving unit incident

general | Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

so we moved into our new apartment on Saturday! it’s awesome. we are in heaven. Amo is busily unpacking, in her usual non-stop manner.

the move went smoothly, except for one little thing…well, one big thing. she got the deal of the century on the cabinet of her dreams - $150 at the SF thrift store “Out of the Closet”. she had movers pick it up earlier in the week, paid them to hold onto it for a few days before we moved in, and then deliver it. it was a 4-man job to get it from the truck up into our staircase, where it ultimately wouldn’t clear the overhang…and just barely. so back to the store it goes. they were nice enough to give her a credit, too.

other than that, we’re loving it. pics soon.

technology | Monday, August 20th, 2007

the editor of PC Magazine is leaving for another company, and what does he write about on his way out? well, he bashes Microsoft Vista for being so crappy.

Pcm-HeaderAfter five years at Ziff Davis Media and nearly 16 years in editorial content—the last two at the helm of this terrific magazine—I’ve decided to try something new. I’ve jumped over to become CEO of Revision3, the leading Internet television network focused on developing programming for the on-demand generation.
It was a tough decision. PC Magazine has a tremendous team, an amazing audience of loyal and outspoken readers, and a bright future. But I felt it was time to do something different. And I’m leaving you in good hands. Lance Ulanoff is stepping up to fill the editor-in-chief position, and he has been studying for this role essentially his entire professional life. He’ll continue to deliver a strong, engaging, and captivating PC Magazine. Heck, with him in charge and a top-notch team in place, the magazine will be even better than it is today.

Rest assured, you haven’t heard the last of me. I will continue to write a column in PC Magazine. I still have too many issues to discuss with you. For example, my latest beef is with Vista.
