Quite some time ago I was at a restaurant with a friend. We got to talking about the waitress, who, we observed, was both busty and grim-faced. "There should be a magazine called Stacked and Dour", one of us said.

Later, a friend promised to pose if I put up a website, so I registered the domain, but didn't do anything with it. I finally put it up. It's not really a porn site.

Thing-a-day stopped being fun, and I found myself rushing to find the bare minimum I could count, so I stopped doing it part way through the week. Here are the things I did do. I'll be back to regular MOPTAW schedule and content for the next entry.

For February I'm doing thing-a-day, so I'll be counting those for my weekly projects. Here's the first one:

As promised:

Yes, this is cheating. Think of it as being like a "clips" episode.

Well, not quite. Unfortunately, not only am I late with this post, I also don't have video to show for it. The video is sitting on the camcorder, and I can't seem to find the mini-firewire to firewire cable to pull it off.

I went to a fabulous new year's party:

Since I helped set up and am a regular participant at the space running the party, I had a staff badge, which consisted of a piece of aluminum with a spray-painted logo. I wanted to make mine better.

My Christmas present to Anne's family was to extend their wireless network to the guest house next door. I first tried boosting the power on their existing network, but that wasn't quite enough to push the signal usably into the house.
