This is a list of stuff I should do. Please feel free to bother me about any of these items and why I haven't don't them yet/lately. I may eventually add a button to this page that lets you automatically pester me about one or more of these things. Yet another thing I should do.
So far, they're in no particular order, but this may change. Starting simple and vague.
At the Brewfest, one of the brewers, File Mile Brewing Company, had really cool custom bottle caps for their beer bottles. I was really impressed with the quality of their logo and the application to the cap. They told me that they used Bottlemark to have their caps printed.
Sometime after the fest, I remembered the link and looked up the Bottlemark site to check out their prices. They were about 12 cents per cap, which is pretty good for custom-printed caps. Usually, 60 unprinted caps (they’re usually measured by weight, not by count) is about $1.60. For $7, Bottlemark will ship 60 caps printed in full color. This was worth looking into, since the kids have been using my blank caps for summer art projects.
I admit it. I’ve been having some network trouble at home. There are certain requirements I have for The Perfect Router, and I’ve been rampantly accumulating hardware to try to accomplish these requirements:
I have a stack of seven routers here in the office that haven’t made the grade. I’ve got everything from a WatchGuard Edge router, which is an amazing piece of consumer-expensive hardware, to some off-the-shelf garbage from Linksys.
After I got my hair cut yesterday, I set out for West Chester and a new-ish coworking space, ReworkWC, and then off to the new Suburban Philadelphia WordPress Meetup.
I’ve been a “friend of” Indy Hall for a while, back in the Strawberry Street days. I remember the sweaty afternoon soon after the space opened spent helping Alex assemble the tables with a screwdriver and set them around the floor. There were a couple of movie nights with beer, and quite a few stop-ins before/after a client meeting in the city. But because the Hall is so deep in the city (which is a perfect place for them, no doubt), it was never someplace I could get to regularly or justify paying for every month. So after my first year of membership, I allowed it to lapse; now occasionally paying for a drop-in day when I have business in the city and it’s convenient to have a place to work.
Hello Abby and Riley. You are away this week on vacation with BB, and Mom and I are at home by ourselves for a whole week! You may think that we will have nothing to do while you’re not home, but you are only partially right.
We dropped you off with BB at the airport on Sunday, and you were happy and ready to go on your trip. Mom and I gave you hugs and waved as you went inside, then we drove away. I will admit that as soon as on the drive back down 95 I was sad about the prospect of not having you around. In spite of the insanity that you bring to life at home day-to-day, I still miss you and think about you when you’re away.
