no more band-aids
This is the middle of a big, multi-year construction project that will eventually result in a ring road around the city, and 2 major interchanges within 1km of each other here. The primary entrance to my community is being rerouted, as it would be directly in the middle of these two interchanges. I can’t wait until I can stop living in a construction zone…
we (i.e., mrs @dnorman) cleaned off the pool table in the basement after several years of succombing to “every horizontal surface accumulates piles of stuff” syndrome. The Boy™ and I played a few games of “pool” tonight. Next – repairing the cues and finding the rest of the balls so we can play a game properly…
my very own Social Network Pause Button. No inbox. No RSS. No IM. Nothing but me, my bike, and the wind.

it was a cool, rainy morning ride. actually quite pleasant to ride in. I had my Fujifilm point-and-shoot in the pocket of my rainjacket, and tried to fire a few shots while riding. None really turned out, but I like this one. I had to buy a copy of CardRaider to recover it from the SM card though, because I’m an idiot and accidentally nuked my Transfer project in Aperture after importing and erasing the photos from the camera. Oops. Yay, CardRaider!
