Terrible Ideas

I love this thing. I'm probably the last person to find about these but I'll tell you what. Those French. First the Olympics and now this.

I consume a lot of butter. I keep it at room temperature (once I open it) and the cheap plastic butter dish I was using was just a mess.

I love that I can pick it up and use a spoon, spatula, or knife to get exactly what I want without a mess.

It's got a water line marker towards the bottom. You fill it to the line, squash a stick of butter in there and you're good to go.

I know, I know. But things like this please me.

Finally ready to fling the first post up on the new version of my website. I say fling because I have a tendency to be a bit too precious about posting and I’m going to try and be less reserved. I think I’ve set things up so that posting without titles will behave in my RSS feeds. The goal is to reduce friction.

This post can get me started, and since I’m the only one who really cares about the old content, I can take my time backfilling it.

The photo is one that came through my feed from Kafka's Apartment Tumbler account. It sat on my desktop while I was building this new site, and I fell under it's spell. A beautiful but mysterious face.

You don't always have to have your own.

Scream about losing your liberty and freedom. Fling the words communism and socialism into decontextualized rants about the benefits of capitalism.

We know what word really scares you. Your night terror word. A word that everyone understands.

Sharing.

It was a very good morning for the KU Crew! A clean sweep at the Stars & Stripes USRowing Central Masters Regional in Oklahoma City.

I'm late in posting this, but back on June 24th, these three ladies and their faculty advisor Steven Maynard-Moody, won all of their events at the Stars & Stripes USRowing Central Masters Regional in Oklahoma City.

Congratulations to these KU Crew rowers! Way to represent!

Results are here.
