    Your signature cocktail.

    When I was younger, and had not yet quite developed a taste for Gin, G&T's always amazed me. It was like an astounding thing from chemistry class - take one thing that tastes like pine-sol cleaner, one thing that's bitter nasty soda, and lime as a catalyst - and voilà - something tasty! It was...

    Where is my robot?

    I had a succession of Roombas, but they kept dying. I guess medium pile and multiple cats are too much for them. I ended up returning it in exchange for a regular vacuum. I did recently see articles on a cute little dancing robot, an a steam powered toy robot. Also a inventive lazy person...

    Strange Superstitions and The Superstitious Among Us

    I don't really have any. I kind of do mild superstitions to be social - that is, avoid walking under ladders, and such. But, if it's inconvenient to go around, I'll walk right under. I do have a friend who does the "bread and butter" thing. I was just reading an article on MMOLRPGs (Massively...

    My new print.

    That's more like I would have expected. Here's looking forward to run 4 and 5.

    What Is The Strangest Thing You've Ever Seen?

    I know someone who does that as well - it's quite disturbing to your brain to hear it!

    Your signature cocktail.

    Most certainly. Winter seems to go well with the warmth of Scotch, so cocktails using that would be nice. Summer's for things like Mojito's, coolers and such. Weather driven, I would think.

    Art (by Dinerman)

    Nice art, Dinerman! I do admire the Illustrator stuff - I'm technically proficient in it (used to work with it), but am not much of a hand at art.

    My new print.

    Gah! How many prints are you doing? Not just one, I hope…

    Your signature cocktail.

    Well, while I most often enjoy scotch (neat), it's not a cocktail. In that category, my "normal" before dinner drink is a Nigroni. I like classic martini's - typically Tanqueray with two olives. And lately I've been making (and being asked to make) Mojito's quite a bit. After having a tasty...

    On the Beat

    The local constabulary The Seattle horse police often stop under my office window, while one or two of their number go into the local coffee chain to get drinks. Sometimes the bike cops come and chat with them. While I know the mounted police are trained for, and kept around for crowd control...

    My new print.

    Ah, and I assume the ink is just applied to a more limited area of the lino.

    Don't try this

    I recall in German class, the teacher talking about a white beer "mit suss", that is, with sweet fruit syrup. Sounds like what you are talking about? I know I quite enjoy Fruit Lambics, a Belgian fruit beer, although I just read that the brand largely available here (Liefmans) isn't a true...

    The Regular Customer, The Usual Order

    That reminds me - back when I worked for Adobe Systems, there was a group - well, several groups - that would regularly go to a particular Chinese place in the International District (in Seattle). Somehow, they'd gotten in the habit of ordering various items via code names, which the...

    My new print.

    Oh, probably because I'm more analytical than artistic. I'd figured out how the process was done, and without sitting in the (two hour long) class to motivate me, I never finished it. That's actually likely the main culprit, I'm lazy. :rolleyes: Very very nice with the two tone! I'm not sure...

    Don't try this

    Hmm, I know folks who like Guinness and premium type vanilla ice cream. Of course, the ingredients may make all the difference.

    Jewellery, gents?

    Good question. I wear a wedding ring (Plat & patterned gold), and that's it on a regular basis. I used to wear an earring - small silver hoop, but it got caught on my helmet and pulled out, and I haven't gotten around to replacing it yet. On occasion, I wear cufflinks. Wristwatches -...

    Show off your vintage desktops!

    But based on her desktop, she's probably thinking of jumping ship to Lord of the Rings Online. ;) Hmm, I used to play a bit of DoD, in the BFE (Battle for Europe) tourney.

    Hey fellow Big Guys (aka bucketheads)...

    The key word here is niche market. It's probably just an economy of scale thing - not enough demand (at least that they see) to make it worth their while.

    25 Most Played songs in your iTunes library

    Perhaps this is cheating, but… While I like everything on my 25 most listened list, it doesn't seem representative of my selections. Here's a different view - I took everything I have rated five stars, and did a count of how many songs by that group (or collection album) have been so rated...

    25 Most Played songs in your iTunes library

    My quick disclaimers: I mostly listen to my iPod, not iTunes directly, and I think the play count syncing is messed up. Also, my "most played" is 13 times, and at least one song on the list - while I like it - is probably there because for some reason, it's always the first song in one of my...
