Second only to “not having to drive a car” I envy the convenient close-proximity of quality corporate food chains like Au Bon Pain that Boston– or any major city– has to offer. (And that IS the rub when living in a major city: you want to wage wanton protest against corporate chains because you have [...]
I know dick about electrical systems. Please advise.
When Kim and I moved into our apartment last May we knew that living in an older building was going to have some idiosyncracies that we’d not experienced in the past. The primary one for us has been that, especially during the summer when we have the AC [...]
I can’t find my hat and I’m a freaking wreck over it. I know there are real problems in the world but I’ll be damned if they matter to me so long as I lost my hat. Back in 2005 I had expressed to Kim, who I’d only been dating for about a year or [...]
I only tend to blog when things are wrong or when I am feeling snarky and that’s just not the way it should be.
Ten things:
Turning 30 is the best thing to ever happen to my 20’s.
Marrying Kim was one of my more intelligent decisions.
My weight is still in the mid 220’s.

Getting home at 4AM because you’ve been out playing music with awesome musicians and eating diner food with your best friends is really all I ever want to do with my life.
If this blog is my life then my life is a mess.
I need a new focus for lowquality.net. Right now it’s a mess. I know I will never have any kind of envious design on here, because I am just not very gifted in that department, but if I had some kind of theme or [...]
Idea boosted from Drew, who probably doesn’t think I read his blog.
- Listen to… Isotope 217. They’ve been broken up for awhile but I am just now getting into them. Some members have worked with Tortoise, if you dig them, you might like this.
- Watch… Giant Gila Monster. It is one of the worst “horror” [...]
But I am gladly taking some of the credit (and some of the blame).
After a steady stream of childish snorting and giggling at the celebrity Twitter feed of Helen Keller, Paul told me he was going to make a Helen Keller web app based on the concept of an online language translator.
Thus the Helen Keller-izer [...]
Kim and I both gained a little as a result of the wedding festivities (but also a general slackness we’ve had in the last few months) so starting this coming Monday we are going to reboot back to Phase 1 of the South Beach diet. I’m actually going to make it a little harder on [...]
Despite being the most filthy fucking place ever, I ate there fairly often. You know a restaurant is bad when, five years after college people deny having eaten there, or at least play down the frequency of their visits. Tom says he hates Little Steve’s (now), but when we were in college I received several [...]
