My husband David and I have been watching the “new” Hawaii Five-O since it began 4 seasons ago, from episode 1. It had seemed that for several seasons now they’d been mostly doing storylines based on international terrorism and the spy-intrigue storyline in McGarrett’s mother’s past. Which frankly, bored me to sobs. I preferred the storylines where it was a Hawaiian setting, with the kind of local color and flavor that is unique to Hawaii. It seemed like they were doing the islands a disservice by only finding the big drama in the “international” arena, saving the local stories for…

My iPhone died today. I’m not sure why, but it couldn’t have been good when the speaker dock I’d been using started making more squawky noises than usual – sometimes with shocklingly loud humming and buzzing that came through the speakers. It somehow managed to charge the phone where my older docks did not, but it was never a happy marriage, and David had remarked that it was unshielded, so there’d always be interference. So he’d already found a little wireless speaker called “Mini Jambox” that would be my Hannumas present, and he’s getting a GoPro. But the iPhone? It’s…

I need this book. Reshared post from +Al Hunt An Interview with Allie Brosh An Interview with Allie Brosh Terry Gross of NPR’s Fresh Air interviewed Allie Brosh of Hyperbole and a Half about her new book, her popular website, and her battle with depression. At one point, Gross asked her why she drew herself in such an odd fashion. ;BROSH: All right. So I draw myself with very crude illustrations in a program called Paintbrush. It’s sort of the Macintosh analog of MSPaint. And I look very funny. I’ve got these buggy eyes, and I have sort of, like,…

I'm riding 35 miles in the Chicagoland Tour de Cure this June to raise money to help STOP diabetes. I'm also riding to support my husband +David Gibbs in his own ride – he's the leader of Team RED. Tour de Cure is a major fundraising event for the American Diabetes Association. I'm also riding because it's fun, and great exercise. I'll be training over the winter in our basement, and I'll get training stats up on STRAVA, a fitness social media site. If I raise just $100 by Friday, I qualify for an "In Training" T-shirt. So please consider…

I still think it's so that content could be offered on their Desura platform. Also someone on SLUniverse wondered if it was related to how their coming mobile viewer might render content. I'll still occasionally make stuff, I'm not too stressed out but I'm still keeping an eye on it.
