This has to be the geekiest excercise routine I’ve seen. Well, maybe my table tennis robot is up there. Anyway, Cybil’s personal trainer (who like Cybil is intellectually engaged in a field where few are) says that this would indeed be good excercise, but warns that the motions involved could easily strain the body. If […]

Dionysea Green by Tomasz Rut
I remembered that she was in a tube in the closet and suggested to Cybil that we get her framed for Cybil’s new studio. So we brought her to the Frame Store in Encino and had a really classy frame designed by Luben Romanov. I never realized before what an art it is to design […]

Sex before stressful events keeps you calm

Kevlar Work Utility Pants - Duluth Trading Company

My brother’s hitting the road with his band in June. They’ve posted 3 more songs to their page. Nice music with nasty lyrics. Good stuff.
CUZZI Computer Desk STS 5801A
Cybil ordered this desk for her new studio. We almost went with one that was 18” by 24” (this one is 4 inches deeper), but we settled on the CUZZI because it looks a lot more stable. Also, the dark cherry matches her other furniture. We’ll be hiding it under a curtain (draped over the […]
Wicked Worn + Bulletproof Liquid
As a follow up to my latest re-design (which I still haven’t gone back and made the final revisions to) I offer this article and demonstration of a technique that I developed in the process of coding this site: Wicked Worn + Bulletproof Liquid
12 Habits in 2006
There’s been a whole lot of new years resolution crap kicking around the web this month. It is as easily ignored as all the “best of 2005″ crap. New Years resolutions are bogus.
