Early Concerts

nobody@vox.com(Daryn) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 10:35:19 -0800

I just posted a Depeche Mode song, in memory of the first real concert I ever attended. By real, I mean without my parents, and at an actual venue. An older child of a friend of the family had an extra ticket, so my parents let me tag along. I t...

tumble on over...

nobody@vox.com(Daryn) — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 16:38:18 -0800

For the past couple of months, I've been posting over on tumblr. It's a really simple (fun?) interface, and good for posting links, pictures, music, and other short content. It also pulls data from various feeds, like my del.icio.us links, flickr ...

95% Daryn / 5% Turkey...

nobody@vox.com(Daryn) — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 20:48:27 -0800

I got stripes

nobody@vox.com(Daryn) — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 20:23:08 -0700

We'd been planning to wallpaper our dining room since the remodel, but hadn't ever gotten around to it. Then, last week, Brooke had a new idea: Stripes. A few days of masking and painting later, voila! I think it looks pretty awesome.

Is DEMO worth the money?

nobody@vox.com(Daryn) — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 00:09:30 -0700

A few days ago there was a thread going on the Seattle Tech Startups mailing list, about whether DEMO was worth participating in. Having been there twice, I chimed in with a list of 7 key points that should be considered when deciding if DEMO is ...

two and a half months

nobody@vox.com(Daryn) — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 23:57:25 -0700

It's hard to believe it has been two and a half months since I've written here. None of my usual topics seemed fitting to write about after all this time, so instead, here's a little roundup of what I've been up to since then: Traveling Spain (...

"a 1985 Burgundy casts the same dark spell as a 2007 peppermint schnapps."

nobody@vox.com(Daryn) — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 17:43:19 -0700

Frank Bruni had a hilarious column this week entitled Fine Diner to Riffraff: Tipsy Tales of 4-Star Benders, in which he talks about people who go out to elaborate, multi-course meals, and end up completely trashed (and trashy) by the end of the n...

The return of home grocer?

nobody@vox.com(Daryn) — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 15:22:56 -0700

I just saw a shiny new refrigerated truck going down the street with "Amazon Fresh" painted on it. (too slow to whip out the camera though) I hadn't heard of that, and neither had google (well, i finally found something a few pages in...), but a...
