Sixteen

By Josh | Published: February 29, 2008
I’ve mentioned the furry contingent of our household in my writing here; their names are Miesha, Sasha, and Chi-Chi, oldest to youngest. Miesha and Sasha have been together forever, and Sasha tolerates Chi-Chi like an annoying kid brother who’s always following him around. Miesha and Chi-Chi don’t really get along.

Random tinkering

By Josh | Published: February 20, 2008
I’ve been messing with my site again, so don’t be shocked the next time you go to the actual web page. The color scheme is almost certainly not final — its just some random set of light-on-dark colors produced by fiddling with the color picker in TextMate.
