    I like these silk screened window shades. Perhaps I should silk screen my window shades.

    What should I put on mine?

    Sorry for the down time readers! My internet hosting company was having some issues with the server. I called, complained, and was told it’d be back up soon. It looks like it’s back in business now, hopefully it’ll stay up and operational.

    Rock on.

  • Firefox Ad Blocker.

    Do you hate the distracting ads that appear on the side of CNN.com and the like showing dancing people or suggesting that you shave the legs of the hairy lady, or slap the belly of the sumo wrestler in order to get great new rates on your mortgage?

    Firefox has an awesome ad blocker which just covers those ads up. So if you’re using Firefox, you can click here. This will take you to the Ad Blocker download page and will guide you through the rest of the setup.

    And no, Schenk, it doesn’t hide my ads.

      A Quilt.

      November 20th, 2007 by mike d. in family, Features

      quiltf.JPG

      My mom made me a quilt.

      quilt1.JPG

      She’s not entirely proud of it as she claims that the quilting itself is not as majestic as she’d like it to be. But I helped her a bit with the design and I think it turned out awesome.

      quilt2.JPG

      The quilt is made up of 100 small squares. Each side is 10 squares long and there is a thing black border that ostracizes the outer row of squares. A royal pink and white pattern divides up the background and then 8 black squares are placed in a seemingly random patter across the quilt.

      However, there is nothing random about the placement of these black squares. In fact, the placements are quite specific.

      Can you figure it out? And can you guess the name of the quilt?

      (if I’ve already told you… please refrain from this mini fun contest)

      A bowl of chicken soup and 11 hours of sleep.

      November 20th, 2007 by mike d. in A Day In The Life...

      currently eating: oatmeal.

      And I’m still sick.

      I guess it was bound to happen really. I had recently decided that I should train myself to sleep less. How exciting could life become if I could snag an extra hour a day… or two hours? man. A free 700 hours a year seems too awesome to not try it. Especially 700 hours of guitar practice. I bet with 700 hours of guitar a year I could be Jimmy Page.

      Then I look around and see those that dominate sleep like it was a pile of stationary star bits in Super Mario Galaxy waiting to be owned by an experienced player two. Tim Baird survives healthfully off of about 5 hours. Irene can seemingly live off 4. JonAbad? well heck. Some say Jon hasn’t slept since the renaissance.

      So I tried it. I started going to bed later and later and getting up at the same time.

      And, as every rational mikedidonato.com reader would have predicted, I pretty much failed miserably. And this morning, as I woke up fully refreshed but totally sick after 11 hours of deep sleep I decided to do some quick web research about this idea. That’s right. I decided to research AFTER trying it instead of before. Anyway, in general people say that you can’t do it. But there are some good points of ‘if you improve the quality’ perhaps you can then sleep less. Paulette suggested that perhaps some yoga or relaxation techniques before bed would help. Tony said I should buy an expensive comfy bed. My mom told me I was an idiot and that I should go to bed.

      Oh well.
