I've been at Maker Faire all yesterday, and I will be here most/all of today (Sunday). I'm at the Audio Anecdotes booth in the back/left of the main expo hall. If you are there, feel free to drop by and say hello.

Changing the world is a pain in the ass.

I'm currently selling my old 15" MacBook Pro on eBay, item 250406106004.

Lets hope I have better luck than the last time I tried to sell a laptop on eBay.

In what can only be described as a bad omen, eBay actually suspended and blocked my account soon after I first listed this item! It took a few hours to try and work things out, but things seem fine now. But Jesus, what a pain in the ass.

I can't say that I didn't expect it, but it still sucks: What a lemon of a series finale last night's episode was.

I've never seen such a dramatic collapse of the quality of storytelling in a series. As you may recall, I loved this show... But my, how far it has fallen.

Sophia, I love you more than anyone or anything I have ever known. One of the best decisions I made in my life was to reply to your first message, second only to the decision to ask you to be my wife. I promise to encourage and inspire you, to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle, to remain faithful, and to never leave nor forsake you. I will love you whether times are good or bad, in times of joy and in times of sadness, in times of peace and in times of frustration. I take you, Sophia, to be my wife. I will be there for you, as I know you will for me. Sophia, my love, my best friend, I am honored to be your husband. Thank you for making this the happiest day of my life.

Tomorrow, at around 4:30pm in Los Gatos, California, I will loose my bachelorhood. Don't expect timely replies to emails for the next week. I am occupied.

A few weeks ago, Sophia and I attempted to make homemade ginger ale, and it was a wonderful success. It was like magic. Super easy too.

But with pride comes complacency. I got a little impatient decanting the latest batch. The latest batch was special because I ground up an apple and put it into the mix as well as ginger, so there were lots of little apple bits in it. Seemed like a good idea at the time. It went prompt critical around 11 pm last night, while Sophia was working on the wedding invitations.

The thing erupted when the cap came off, sending a maelstrom of ginger-infused apple-bits everywhere. The mess was epic. I still haven't found the cap.

As you may have heard, Jett Travolta, the son of John Travolta, died of a seizure several days ago. Loosing a child is one of the most difficult losses for anyone to bear and the Travolta family has my sympathies and condolences.

I've noticed that some have speculated that Scientology may be to blame for his death, due to withholding of medication and/or appropriate medical treatment. Despite my feelings about Scientology I believe that this speculation is misguided.
