I’ll be hosting tHGS today at Maker Faire. The theme is: DIY Relationship. How does problem solving differ from making stuff together to being a couple? Streaming live at 4:00 PDT today.

I’ll also be having a laugh at Out Loud, a queer radio show owned by Clear Channel. The official Republican line is not homo-friendly but that business/money love makes for entertaining bedfellows.

I can promise it will be funny.

Listen at 960AM KKGN in SF or online from 8-8:30pm PDT tonight.

Steampunk just hit the tipping point in the last year.

Join us.

Ok. This is true for our entire lives. But there seems to be a moment when you get it. My moment came today.

1) I had my first dermatologist all-over check. I’m healthy but sans “age spots.”

2) Blue Cross sent me a little card saying: Your monthly premiums are going to go from $204 to $349. Happy Birthday.

The moment says “take good care of this thing you have called a body because, otherwise, the visits to the mechanic are going to get expensive.

Life so far has gotten beter every year, and I expect it to continue on this pat. You couldn’t pay me to be 14 again.
