Nerd-on
n. A virtual stiffening of sexual organs through non-sexual stimulation. Most likely having to do with computers and/or problem solving. As in “I got a total nerd-on when that script finally started working.”

Tequillington
While on the way back from Vermont after surprising a friend for his birthday, like a good little monkey I’ve brought my laptop and I’m blogging. We drove out there Thursday morning, went skiing in Killington Friday and Saturday, and forgot every bit of good snow gear I have, so I ended up skiing in a sweater and Dickies overalls.

But here they are, and they do well to highlight the genius of some of the original designs (that HBO logo just kills me). See some originals here. The video was...

Old Amsterdam
Back from a great trip with Michelle to the Netherlands and Belgium, to see my brother Max who is living in Amsterdam. We stayed mostly there, with a midweek trip to Antwerp and Brugges, Belgium. Visited a couple tourist traps; the Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh museum, but also caught a Magnum retrospective (with Jeroen), and a Band of Horses show at the Paridiso. All very cool.
