M is for Metro
I love this picture. Found it after searching for news on the LA Metro. You might’ve heard that we are spending some time in Hollywood trying to live the ideal life. Which might upset our car free lifestyle and test our theories on urban hipsters. The good news is that LA’s burgeoning bike scene and …
Working Towards The Ideal Life
Back in 2007, Robotchampion and I had a meeting of the minds. We wanted to do what we were doing but outside a firewall. We want to work on cool projects, without being tied to a specific location.

Work, Love and Bi-Coastality
Next week, Steve and I will be packing up our place in DC, moving our furniture into storage and heading to Southern California to live for three months as part of a pact we made in December to split our time between DC (where I’m from) and California (where he’s from). We have no grand …

My Favorite Sun Hat (roll it up and go!)
I don’t usually endorse products (least of which retail/clothing) here, but considering how much I get complimented on this sun hat every time I wear it and how important it is to protect our skin from the damages and dangers of the sun (multiple members of my family have had malignant melanoma on their face), I …
