Somewhere during the recent move, Comcast neglected to move my account information along with the cable modem information to the new address—so earlier today, when they shut off service at the old place, our access went out. This cascaded a bunch of work for me like recloning the router's MAC...
The newspaper article clippet at right is something I scanned from one of the local papers here in Kirkland—but since I didn't scan the whole article (it's quite long), here's the short version: A playground was torched a while back (nobody was hurt) and local investigators figured out who was...
The job is, at this point, around 75% complete. Since we've been actually using the dresser for the last six months (or so), it's actually sustained some abuse—cat claws and oils have made their way into the soft and unprotected wood all over the place. Nearly all of the wood...
I've titled this post Furniture finishing 101 because that's really what I'm in need of. This weekend, we're embarking on staining furniture. Wish us luck.

The Comcast guy actually showed up largely on time, so we're back to shuffling these most wonderful bits across the information superether. I'll have more to discuss when I've actually got the office entirely set up. For now, I'm going to get some work done....
Well, we're almost completely moved. My legs feel like they're going to fall off. Apparantely, Layla's legs feel even worse. We ended up going non-stop from 6:30am to 7:30pm on Saturday, and then from 10am to 8pm or so on Sunday. With the exception of two hours (or so) where...
You can sortof see in the picture at right, but Aleph got into the fireplace at the new place while Layla and I were out shopping for ... well, food and cat things. We got the cats a water fountain (instead of the bowls—I'm pretty sure they hate stagnant water)...
Layla and I found this on one of the garage walls when we first moved in. It's sortof difficult to see (you'll likely have to click the picture to really make it out—don't worry, I've sized it down a bit so it isn't huuuuge) which is probably why we didn't...
