I got a grip of cash and a gang of ketchup.

Where were these Moleskine luggage tags when we were looking for cool Christmas gift ideas.

Wall Street is Occupied, But this Photo is Fake

I support the Occupation of Wall Street and wish that there was more media attention given to the story, but this photo that I saw on Facebook is a Photoshop fake.

Hello Sidestep

Paul J. Martinez — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 21:16:53 +0000

Are you paranoid? I’m just an aspiring ‘paranoid’ with a long way to go before full-blown paranoia. Nonetheless, I’ve been unhappy with my remote wifi connectivity. I’ve never felt particularly secure on wifi unless I was at home or at work.

Today I set up Chetan Surpur’s Sidestep and was surprised at how economical it is to set up.

Oh, New Balance MT876OR, what a giant tongue you have!

I was looking for red sneakers, just trying to get out of my usual pattern and red seemed like a good choice. I really loved the construction of the MT876OR but the tongue was too long. I have wide feet, 4E, and the tongue would never stay tucked. I hardly needed these for keeping out debris while out running on the trail, because I don’t run! So it’s original purpose of keeping out debris was never quite useful.

On a related note, I just found out I can return shoes for up to 365 days at onlineshoes.com, who knew! I have a pair of ill fitting New Balance MO1320GT that I’m going to return. This will help subsidize my next purchase. They were a really nice looking shoe but they ran a bit too narrow for my hobbit-like feet!

Unexpected Music Night

I was watching NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts tonight and heard two bands that I really loved. Thao Nguyen and Buke and Gass.

New Stand for My Logitech Force Feedback Wheel

Here are a few photos of my first ‘rig’, it’s just a prototype, but it works well for my apartment. If it weren’t for the CSL I would have never gone this far. There’s only so much ‘losing’ a guy can take.

The next step is to make it collapsable because I’d like to be able to fold it up and toss it under the sofa when I’m not using it. For now, I went with the fixed structure to make it easy to build, $30 in materials, 1 hour at Home Depot, 1 hour at home, and it was complete.

Our First Cat — ‘Rusty’

Downey and I adopted a cat from the SFSPCA at the start of this new year. His name is Rusty, he is a 10 year old, orange tabby. If you’d like to meet him you can watch his first short video. (Right-click and ‘Save-As’ for best results.)
