Fractal drawers… cooooool.

Woo hoo, another shipment of free product from a client arrived! This time it’s Steaz energy tea, which is an all-natural all-organic flavored tea.

So far it’s receiving rave reviews in the Schroeder household.

Man, you’ve gotta love boneheads like this…

Whenever I go down to the Google office in Boulder for a meeting or whatever, I have to sign in at the front desk and create a visitor badge. The funny thing is they let you put whatever you want on the label maker, so I always use Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft.

Every now and then it gets a good laugh from someone who understands the joke.

It’s May and snowing like crazy. I think this robin is as confused as the rest of us.

Why sit on the couch to play video games when you can sit on two huge Dell server boxes?

Observation: When I buy a half-gallon of ice cream and a jar of hot fudge, there’s never enough fudge to last through the entire half-gallon.

Theory #1: There’s a vast international conspiracy to make disproportionate amounts of fudge and ice cream, so you’ll never be able to get through a half-gallon and have enough fudge for all of it. (This would be similar to the Hot Dog Bun Conspiracy, where buns come in 8-packs whereas dogs come in 10-packs.)

Theory #2: I put too much fudge on each bowl of ice cream.

Hmm.

A huge random box showed up on our doorstep today.

Inside was a bunch of dry ice, steaming nicely in the warm spring air, and…

… a bunch of cakes, tarts, and mousse! That’s right– mousse. How cool is it to get a bunch of frozen mousse delivered to your door?

Of course this is another care package from a happy client of mine: in this case it’s Galaxy Desserts, makers of various delectable sweets. Awesome.

The other day Alex was playing on the trampoline and somehow (it’s still not clear to me how) he swung down below it and slammed his face into one of the metal supports. It blew a chunk off his front tooth.

So now I call him Chip, which he doesn’t think is nearly as funny as I do.

Laralee and I just finished watching the movie Rendition. If I had to use a single word to describe it, I would call it “powerful”. The message it conveys is delivered with the subtlety of a freight train, but that doesn’t make it any less thought-provoking. Highly recommended viewing.
