Humidifiers help babies sleep at night. If you’re going on vacation, especially to a place that has lower humidity than your regular climate, and you forget the humidifier, [like I did on our recent vacation] I promise you will regret it.
just unplug it and then plug it back in.
I’m just a regular Mac-using prepress guy. It boggles my mind when I think about the number of Windows machines I’ve worked on [with a lot of help from tech support] and somehow successfully repaired in the last two years.
and a good day to you, tuesday!
What’s that? There was a power outage for two hours last night, so all the battery backups failed and all the computers crashed? That’s great news! See you next week!

an early start down the path to geek enlightenment
My mom is helping me watch William tonight. They’re sitting on the floor playing with my old Star Wars action figures. He loves the dewback toy with the stormtrooper on its back, so now my mom is trying to teach him to say “dewback.”
consistency
a lot of bands with three-word names tend to eventually go by their initials. people call electric light orchestra ELO, they call creedence clearwater revival CCR, they call bachman turner overdrive BTO, and so on.
i noticed no one ever does this for jimmy eats world.
I’m pretty sure the three-syllable “W” negates this rule, because when it’s spoken it renders the abbreviation longer than the actual words.

001 | intro
Yesterday, my son turned eleven months old. As he approaches the one-year mark, I realize what a crash-course in parenting I’ve had over the last year. I mean, sure, we had nine months to get ready, but there’s nothing like actually doing it. As a result, there are a lot of thoughts and opinions running around in my head that I’d like to preserve as they are now, because I’m sure they’ll change as time goes on. Tumblr seems like the perfect medium for that. And maybe one or two of you will find them interesting as well.

don't you just hate it
when you look up the tracking info on a package you’re expecting and discover that it has been delivered? But then for the rest of the day you know there’s something awesome waiting on your front porch but you’re trapped at your desk forty miles away for three more hours.
i'm in a tumbl-slump.
I haven’t been able to come up with anything post-worthy in days.
