February 24, 2011 – Headphone t.
As I’ve blogged about before, I love my collection of t-shirts. And this one, which simulates a pair of headphones worn by a DJ…is one of my favorites. But, I went back to my “rule” about tees I love – … Continue reading
December 16, 2010 – We all have our VICEs.
If you’ve never seen VICE magazine, check out an issue. These books are both “best of VICE” collections. One, a collection of some of their best articles. The other is the best of their DOs and DON’Ts collection where they … Continue reading
November 22, 2010 – Notes on giving. And on the word “meta.”
My favorite word is “meta.” My other blog is kind of a “meta blog.” That is, a blog about other blogs. So…with that explanation, today’s RID is a meta-RID. A RID about ridding. Someone gave me this book to encourage … Continue reading

August 20, 2010 – For the birds.
My home in Seattle had a great place to hang this. My apartment in Dallas…doesn’t. As of today, I’m officially giving this to someone who will enjoy it. Someone who will put it in a place that will give them … Continue reading
August 18, 2010 – Tennis, anyone?
We’re in the middle of a ridiculous, every day is 100 degrees — 2 weeks straight kind of patch here in Dallas, so it’s a great time to get rid of outdoor sporting equipment. I love playing tennis, but the … Continue reading
August 10, 2010 – Listen Up.
Suffice it to say, these three audiobooks show a diversity in anything BUT my political leanings. Two of them I’ve listened to, and loved. The Howard Zinn one I’m still working on – albeit with digital copies. I bought the … Continue reading
