Two Wheels! The beginning of a new chapter in mobility!

After a week of home-street practice and the arrival of Little Nutty helmet, we're rollin! (background: the incredible delightful Yepp Mini seat all the way from The Netherlands)

Another Moment from the Golden Age of Cell Phone Videography



What's so hilarious about an iPhone app (8mm) that makes crappy, time-worn "home movies?" A lot, it turns out. (Don't forget, Libby Lee fans — most baby content now syndicates directly to her blog, You and Me and Libby Lee)

Remembering Jamie: Five Years Later


Jamie Tittle
Originally uploaded by timfur

It still bothers me that the world is not longer witnessed by Jamie Tittle, who was one of its greatest observers, practitioners, and hackers.

I, too, think about Jamie regularly and still — five years after his departure from this dimensional plane — I'm stuck with the same sentiment: "I can't believe he's gone." As wonderful as my world is, as rich as it is, it would be more so with Jamie in it. I think of all the things that JAMIE would appreciate like nobody else that I know — quirky musical things, odd design things, computers things that I'm not smart enough to understand… books that are over my head… and things — so many things — that it simply wouldn't have occurred to me to observe without him directing my attention and noting with with a Zen glee:"How cool." I think about his impish giggle, his endless curiosity, his natural desire to share all he knew with those who were interested … and not begrudge those who weren't.

There are nearly a hundred photos up that were shared by Jamie's friends during that time — the saddest time — when we lost Jamie.

It's time to look through them for reminders of the happiness he channeled so uniquely. http://www.flickr.com/groups/jamietittle/

G. Phillip & Loris Evelyn

though it's merely for.a church directory, this is the first formal, well-considered portrait I've ever shot and edited exclusively on my iPhone. Cool.

The Lolliloo Sling Thing #cocktail

Original summer cocktail named for its recipient — and barkeep's bestest buddy. its a "sling," in spirit — bittered & sweetened, and served tall — but may technically not qualify. It does qualify, however, as absolutely refreshing — just like its namesake.

THE LOLLILOO SLING THING

1 1/2 oz. Aperol (or Campari)
2 oz. fresh lime juice
1/2 oz. ginger syrup (homemade)

Shake vigorously with ice, then pour into iced highball glass and top with fresh club soda, and a splash of orange juice (optional). Garnish passionately.
