Busting up a Starbucks
How did I survive before I found cappucinos and Wi-Fi?
Queen of the Geeks
Did you know I have “impeccable geek credentials”? It’s true.
Can’t Keep a Funky Rooster Down
I have overcome my fears and hung the concrete-and-stained-glass rooster on the kitchen wall. It looks fab: Click the picture for a bigger view. It’s not done though. I am not entirely crazy about how the gray concrete looks with the chartreuse color of the wall, plus the yellow table fails to coordinate with chartreuse …
In Which Problem-Solving and Experimentation Skills I Learned in College Come Into Dubious Use
So I have this big concrete rooster sitting on my kitchen floor. It has been there for nearly a year. It was made especially for me by James Simon, an amazing and creative local sculptor. It’s quite cool and big — three feet tall and two feet wide. Technically it is not all concrete — …
