re: "Julie & Julia", I read the blog before it was a book, and before Julia got in a snit about it. :p

I've made this recipe before. It's as yummy as you think. If you're into poppy seeds, you can add some to the dressing.

What's that shiny globe thing? No one that bald was anywhere near our table. Wait... I think... yes, it must be your finger. Ha ha ha ha....

Were they comments you made on Brightkite? Just curious because I noticed comments you posted when I looked at the place stream around Jaywalkers a while back. At least, I think it was you because that account was linked to the same Twitter account as the Twitter account you link to on your web site.

I didn't know if you were an employee or just someone there to attend a seminar on security or what. All I remember about the comments were kvetching about having to listen to people who didn't know WTF they were talking about, or something like. The main reason that stuck with me is from listening to my husband kvetch about similar things when it comes to IT.

And today here I sit at my dad's laptop, trying to help my mom with her tech issues, and I find myself wanting to bang my head on the keyboard when I hear my parents reveal just how little they know about computers. *gah*

Based on what I saw & read while clicking around http://www.wagonmasters.org I might consider them a little douchey, but their chili cookoff is cool every year and Ty Nigh seems to think they're OK.

OK, so... why do you follow people who tweet like that? I'd drop 'em in a half-second. As @hci I follow tweeps who tweet useful things from conferences and then blog about 'em later. Otherwise I wouldn't be following 'em. I don't have time for useless twits. That's what I use @WichitaCindy for... ha ha ha!

Interesting. I got a vibe from you Thanksgiving that you seemed kinda sad, and then you tweeted about missing your family in CA. I'm glad you chose to be open about your feelings. Let me know if I can do something to help, even if it's just staying away from you.

Aw... Max is so cute. You are so generous to be doing this for him. Taking in a rescued dog is not an easy thing to do. Besides all the work, you are sharing your heart which will surely break just a little when a new home for Max is found.

Re: Why telling Matt that I have a Twitter crush is a bad idea

CindyStanford — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 16:10:52 -0000

The fun part about knowing you *have* a crush is razzing you about it!

My son has a million crushes, I swear. How he keeps them all straight, I have no idea, but he does.

You have a Twitter Crush?!?! Who is it?!?!?!

I hope you don't run into some "today's a guvmint holiday" BS. That poor , traumatized pug needs some TLC right away!

He is soooooo sad. Three years old??? He's so skinny! What a poor little thing. :(

Oliver and Lola look adorable. Excellent photo! Let me know if you ever need a dogsitter and I'll see what I can do. I love dogs, especially small breeds.

I heard so much about this on Twitter, I'm glad I finally watched it. Well worth the 10 minutes. I know John Cleese offered to write speeches for Obama, and this speech is so funny, joke after joke, that I have to wonder who the expert comedians were that penned it. Barack Steve Obama certainly is a little too awesome. Thank goodness for his humility... ha ha ha!

Re: Palin-Couric interview (Scripting News)

CindyStanford — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 02:09:45 -0000

Dave, have you seen the follow-up where McCain joins Palin to be interviewed by Katie Couric? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RywhPtebuM It's just as embarrassing.

Can you imagine two *male* candidates being all chummy, yucking it up during an interview? McCain = gramps. Palin = adorable daughter, daddy's little girl. For Katie Couric, interviewing Palin alone or McCain/Palin together makes "gotcha journalism" look like shooting fish in a barrel. Too easy.

Excellent post. I hadn't been able to put my finger on these things, but now that you describe them, yes... that's what was really bothering me about Palin. "A person without curiosity" struck me since it reminds me of people I sometimes wish I could connect with but cannot; I had never noticed curiosity was the basic trait where disparity meant making a genuine connection impossible. Curiosity isn't enough, as you said, but even still we need someone who can quickly connect the dots, acquire the knowledge, and make appropriate decisions with confidence.
