The Twitter Fail Whale Hat

I love Twitter memes. Long after stability comes to Twitter, we will still wax nostalgic over our dear friend, The Fail Whale. I’m feeling inspired towards a Twitter-themed Halloween costume this fall:

J’aime bien cette casquette qui rend hommage à la baleine d’echec — le Fail Whale de Twitter — bonne fête de Halloween (prochaine)

Conques

August 3, 2008

Welcome to Conques, one of the historical “Great Sites of France” and well worth the visit to anyone passing through the region. I find Conques very relaxing and peaceful, due perhaps to the spiritual history of Conques as a pilgrimage site honoring its Saint Foy, literally Saint Faith (think Santa Fe). Saint Faith was a [...]

Americans and English-Speakers in Aurillac, Cantal

July 28, 2008

I’ve heard a fair bit of English while out exploring and while I expect that most of it is being spoken by tourists, I’m also aware that there is a growing community of anglophones in the Cantal. I’m always happy to meet new ex-pats, so if you’re passing through the Cantal, Aurillac or even the [...]

April 14, 2008

Within 24 hours of “verifying” a new PayPay account with my bank debit card, I had the following attempted purchases:
SCI*SEPHORA.COM -$1.00
WAL-MART -$40.00

WAL-MART -$1,035.40
I am an international traveler, never let my card out of my sight and am very protective of my banking information when shopping. It would [...]

Chimp CHM PDF Exporting on a Mac

February 21, 2008

I read a lot of ebooks, especially tech stuff, and, happily, most people are savvy enough to publish their ebooks in PDF format. Occasionally, however, someone finds some obscure reason or obsession to publish in CHM, Microsoft’s Compiled HTML Help file format. This was made back in the day for Windows 98, but [...]
