Charlotte and I are headed out to Long Island with several of our friends for this long weekend. Monday is Labor Day for those of us in the states, and I couldn’t put it any better than Futurama’s own Hermes:
Hermes: “Labor Day? That phoney-baloney holiday crammed down our throats by fatcat union gangsters.”
Fry: “That’s the [...]
Charlotte, my friend Gabe, and several others have noticed – and never fail to point out – that I get a disproportionate amount of pink drinks compared to the average, virile, testosterone-fueled man! I think the reason for this is because I tend to try cocktails with a lot of ingredients, rather than just “some [...]

Welcome to the second cDebris tutorial. Today we’ll be elaborating on some of the texturing tips mentioned in Tutorial 001 and combining them with some other easy Photoshop techniques to produce a rounded button that can then be used in a web site, including configurable text. This tutorial will also serve as a basis for [...]
Last night, Charlotte and I frenched it up frenchtacularly. We started out by hitting up Steak Frites, a French bistro on 7th Ave and Varick St, just above Houston St. There we had frisee avec lardons et roquefort, and some delicious beer (admittedly not French). We followed that up by taking in a showing of [...]

My review

One of my coworkers is married to an editor for St. Martin’s, and he came to a company party one time with a bunch of free books. Among the stack, I saw A Corpse in the Koryo and the [...]
My lovely fiancée Charlotte, who maintains a blog of her own (in french – venture forth if you dare), keyed me in to this blog post and I thought it was interesting. The Omnivore’s 100. I quote:
Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once [...]
We’re going to Coney Island tonight to take in a Brooklyn Cyclones game and, most likely, wander the boardwalk afterward. There’s a chance of rain but hopefully the storms will pass us by and we’ll get to spend the evening in relative warmth and dryness.
Normally I would use this occasion to take a ton of [...]
Well, I’ve finished posting one novella to WordPress … I can’t say it was the easiest experience in the history of man, but it wasn’t the hardest either, and Chapter 7 of Persephone’s Fall has now been posted to the Writing section. Here you’ll find nine pages. I still think Seph’s story is one of [...]
Chapter six of Persephone’s Fall has been posted to the Writing section. I kind of feel like a broken record, here, but I want to get the story finished with. Chapter seven is the final chapter, and it makes up for chapter six’s anemic three pages with nine … that’ll be coming later this week. [...]
