I'm bumping up against the too-long-away-from-home mark. Can I have a collective sigh? I've done it to myself; I'm not complaining. Just a status update. So, here we go: I gave my presentation at the Folio Show this morning. I had no idea what people would be seeking from the session, so I edited my...

365.46 (Editing), originally uploaded by kpwerker. Greetings from Colorado. The altitude here near the mile-high city always makes me feel a little wonky. I battle a minor headache for the first few days I'm in town, and I get a bloody nose from the dryness. Running up the stairs in the office leaves me winded. The...

When I posted the photo below to Flickr for my 43rd day of self portraits, a commenter asked for tips on how to kick the caffeine habit and I thought a proper post was in order. I was advised by my doctor last week to cut out caffeine because I was having benign heart palpitations....

I do have some ideas brewing for proper blog writing. But for now, another roundup is where it's at. My parents are here for their annual visit and we're having a blast. A chill time, which is just lovely. It looks like a summer of Shakespeare is in full swing. We saw the Bard on the...

ETA: Looks to me that Joss Whedon told Wired he's looking for some crochet coverage. Call me, Joss. I can hook you up. Um. Pun not intended. UPDATE: I sent a fax to Joss's agency. Think there's a way to drum up buzz so they take the request seriously? --- There's been a huge amount of hype...

First Raspberries of the Summer!, originally uploaded by kpwerker. Tangible: First raspberries of the season. Intangible: Satisfaction from growing yummy food. Tangible: iPhone. Intangible: The 6GB/month compromise by Rogers tipped the scale; I went yesterday afternoon and ended up the penultimate person in line before the staff turned people away because they knew they wouldn't have iPhones left...

It's not a race*! I won't rush this week. Here's my roundup, in no order, with a photo of me writing this post (at right). I'm 32 now. I don't feel any different. As a surprising part of an epic Wednesday-night birthday party, I danced my brains out in a packed bar downtown. Even when...

New Office (365.11 Outtake), originally uploaded by kpwerker. Here I was yesterday, earplug-like earphones piping my shuffled iPod contents into my head while I got real, wonderful work done. For many, many months I have considered finding a place outside of my house to work. I've found it increasingly difficult to relax at home and to...

365.10 (After the Cold, Rainy Camping Day), originally uploaded by kpwerker. I always forget something when I pack hastily to go camping for the weekend. I know you do, too. This weekend I forgot a toque. Yeah, it's summer, but this is British Columbia. It was supposed to be a rainy weekend (and it was),...

Happy Canada Day, y'all! It's a workday for me, but I'll be off on Friday for the 4th (and specifically, I'll be off camping. Psyched.) So, a bit more on combating the WorkFromHome Vaccuum. Step 4: Tackle email. After that iced soy chai on Sunday, I started going through my email, having finally decided to read...
