I think my father is a tea-bagger
Who knew that my relationship with my father would crumble because Obama became president.  I know I’m not going to change his mind and he’s not going to change my mind.  I work in government, he’d like to see the EPA dissolved and seems to think that all government is a waste.  At times, I think he’d rather have lower taxes than have me as a daughter.

Bokashi update - 8 months

DIY iPad Stand
I got so excited about DIY iPad projects, that I didn’t want to stop with the world’s coolest carrying case.  I read Crunch Gear’s Top 10 DIY iPad Projects and thought that my carpenter boyfriend could easily re-create (using better wood) the $5 iPad dock.  Here are the process photos and there are more on my Flickr page: Pick wood from the shop supply: Set up the angle...

DIY iPad Carrying Case
After I read a blog post about Turning the iPad into an iBook, I decided that I needed to get an iPad.  I had several reasons, had read lots of positive and negative reviews, and decided that I wanted to fulfill my childhood dream of having Penny’s Book from Inspector Gadget.  Sold. So I bought the iPad, and went on a quest for a decent book to hold it.  I went to a used bookstore and...
