Takes one to know one

Anyone else see the interestingness of the world’s most famous dry drunk using an alcohol metaphor?  It would be ironic if he was smart enough to understand irony.

“Wall Street got drunk” says Bush about the mortgage meltdown.

At least he didn’t make a cocaine reference.

Cancelling subscription to HGTV

Apparently the hours wasted in watching home staging and makeover shows failed learn us anything, since we only have six days to sell our house before we lose the contract on the new one.

Wake up
This is not something good to see before coffee, but at least I didn’t see it in person. (via Kottke)

Buy my house

Seriously.  Casa Danger is on the market, and it needs to sell so that we can upgrade to Castle Danger. It’s a ranch house in the historic Volker neighborhood of Midtown.  It’s just four blocks to restaurant row on West 39th Street, so you can walk to d’Bronx and stumble home from Gilhouly’s.  Walk to Westport or $10 cab ride Downtown.  Good bus access to Westport, Downtown, and the Plaza.

Here are the details…
3 Bedrooms, two baths
Hardwood floors
Fourth bedroom in the basement
Gigantic two-car detached garage with room for workshop, bikes, etc
Huge corner lot with shade trees
Cool neighbors - a doctor, a nurse, a librarian, and a professional ballerina
French doors between the kitchen and deck
Two-level deck that’s great for parties and has extra storage underneath
Fenced dog run

If this sounds like your thing, get in touch
and I’ll give you the listing details.

Wife in print

Run out and pick up a copy of this week’s Pitch Weekly.  My lovely wife is featured in the Summer Guide section with some summer reading suggestions for y’all.  It’s not online yet, so you’ll have to get the print version before next Wednesday.

Congrats, darlin’!

On Dreamweaver

Mike Davidson sums up the evolution of Dreamweaver very, very well.

Adobe Creative Suite has become the Microsoft Office for right-brained people. They simply ran out of really useful things that people needed so they just piled on things people didn’t.

Take the Car-Free Challenge

Some of y’all already know that I am one of the instigaters behind KC’s annual Bike Week events, and I enourage you check it out if you are a cyclist in Kansas City.  If not, you can still participate in the Car-Free Challenge to see how many drive-alone car trips you can replace with walking, bicycling, taking the bus, or carpooling.  We have some cool prizes lined up for the people who log the most trips, plus a big bash this weekend at Boulevard Brewering Company.
