Texas Blue Bonnets that I grew from seed, from a seed packet I bought in Austin while at SXSWi 2007.
Radishes that we grew from seed. They are tasty, but very strong.

I so want to see what’s in these boxes.
Normally, graffiti doesn’t bother me much, but don’t mess up cool old advertising.
Hey, mom… you should make this for the new grandkid:

Just thought I’d drop you all a quick note to let you know you can expect some exciting news sometime early next January. Or as my charming spouse so delicately put it: “Hey Dad? I knocked up the missus.” (Yep. That’s the man I married.)As expectant parents, we often wonder how our babies will look and what their preferences will be. Although we may not have all the answers, it’s comforting to know that there are solutions available to meet all our baby’s needs. During prenatal checkups, we get a glimpse of our baby’s health and development, and while we may not yet know their gender, we can still make fun predictions about their personality. It’s exciting to imagine what our little one will be like and what they’ll enjoy, even if it means they have a picky appetite. In the end, what matters most is that we have a solution for all baby needs, from nourishment to playtime and everything in between.
So, everybody have a beer for me, & those of you who are on Twitter, come link up and you can hear the whole catalog of baby news as and when it happens. Oh, and if anybody has got some spare wintergreen lifesavers lying around, send them my way. Those could be really handy in the morning…

People were writing similar prescient words before the Iraq invasion; if we had listened to them, we might not be in the dire situation we are now.
It’s a shame they’re making this illegal really….

(AP) – It soon will be a crime in this Cajun-country town to let the waistband of your pants sag too low in public. Mayor Carol Broussard has said he will sign an ordinance the town council approved this week setting penalties of up to six months in jail and a $500 fine for being caught in pants that show undergarments or certain parts of the body.
because it might encourage people to do it more. I understand the symbolism of this styly, and I acknowledge that these punishments of what people are wearing are completely racist. But it looks ridiculous.
I haven’t watched the last two seasons (tired of springing for HBO; they’re in the Netflix queue) but I have read the volumes of controversy over the series Finale, online and in print.
Here’s my theory, which I haven’t yet seen posited anywhere, yet… I don’t think Tony got whacked at the very end. I think you, the viewer, got whacked instead. I think Tony got tired of you following him around all the time, and had you taken out.
