With Jays new job, he’s got a later work schedule, so we get up together, and go to Starbucks together, before he drops me off at the bus stop. What little bit of conversation we can muster in the mornings is special and gives me an extra boost fer my day.

I'm very much torn with the iPad. I don't know whether to qualify it as a superpowered iPod Touch on growth hormones, or to call it an underdeveloped tablet trying to be the next best thing. In either case, the iPad will change the direction of tablet devices... some good, and some really bad.

I’m a squinter, part of the reason my eye sight is going, and part of the
reason I always look so grumpy or pissed off. In the mornings I walk around
with a general scowl, partly to dissuade random morning small talk, and
partly because my love for humanity kicks in at 10am, and not a minute
sooner.

On days like today, the Sun is shining brightly against a cold blue sky…
my squints look extra hardcore. But I’m actually cheery today… blind but
cheery.

Google has kept a loose eye on their Android mascot, applying a creative commons license to the little guy, allowing artists and fans to go wild with their creations… I’ve seen little bits of schwag here and there, but nothing compares to the complete set of awesomeness that Andrew Bell cooked up…

One of the secret projects that has been keeping me busy lately. I teamed up with some friends at Android™ to bring their mascot to “life”. Head on over to the Dyzplastic production blog for details![Andrew Bell's Blog]

Created in collaboration with Google and Android Andrew Bell, and produced by Dyzplastic Production, this is the first official blind box series featuring everyone’s favorite open source mascot.  Series 1 features 12 different designs in a case of 16 and each vinyl figure stands just 3″ tall. There’s no word on pricing or exactly when these will drop, but a splash page on the Dead Zebra site shows “02:10:20:10″ which leads me to believe they go on sale at DZ on the tenth of February.

DKE Toys are the wholesale distributor for the series, one of Hero Design’s sources for vinyl crack; I should be able to sweet talk them into ordering a case or three.

I admit, I don't think much of Valentine's Day. Maybe it's because of all the cheap perforated valentines you can pick up at any drug store, and the not so delicious bone-meal conversation hearts that float around my office every year.

The problem with holidays is that there is absolutely no class anymore, and the 14th of February is no exception. Some couples go all out, and others pass cheap chocolate and try a new position...

Regardless, hidden behind the jump are some tacky-free solutions to guarantee at least two new positions that night. (Don't worry single folk... most of these tips work for you as well, just find someone(s) to lay "the bid'ness on.")

Notice that Gay Geeks has been oddly silent since Christmas? Here's what happened.

I was walking down the street a few days before New Years when I saw a stray puppy in the street. Naturally the hero-type, I ran into the streets to save the poor little lab when I was nearly hit by a black van who swerved to miss me. Maybe they just should have run me over because they kidnapped me and locked me in a dungeon strapped to a chair with my eyes glued open and forced me to watch hours upon hours of doomed-to-fail Fox pilots, like Warlosky, Back to You, The Winner, and most recently Human Target.

Just kidding... I've actually been super lazy and had my head in the clouds since Christmas. I promise you two things: Gay Geeks is back, and Human Target really did suck.

Today's Episode: You can spend your money to help Haiti, or you could spend it on an old school USB hub from Marc Jacobs... but you really should be saving it all for the iTablet.

Huw stopped into Sai One with us all and picked up one of Angels unique hats
fer the winter… the colors do him well don’t cha think?

Dad and Jerrie are in town, and we stopped by Spot Coffee to have some brew
with Huw… glad to be surrounded by people I love, and people who love me.
24 and I’m doing great, not a better present than having the best support
group for my life sitting around me.
