Back when I was 8 or 9 years old, my parents got me one of the Game & Watch games from Nintendo. It followed along with those old Tiger games (or an LCD watch) where you could see the different parts and they just turned on and off …
There’s a certain sense of excitement and satisfaction when your attempt to find a certain thing or things by rooting through boxes proves to be successful.

Ever since I got my very first console (a Game Boy) I’ve harbored the tendency to just hold on to games. I went through a brief and unfortunate phase where I traded some of my Nintendo, Game Boy, and Genesis games for other things that I thought were worth …
It’s just two days past the anniversary of andylaub dot com v.8. It was the first full site design I did in CSS, and I still really like it. It took me probably a week or two of work from inception to launch, and it makes me …
Last night after dinner with some friends we stopped briefly at Shopko because one of them needed to pick up large bobby pins and double-sided tape. It didn’t take long to find either, but it was long enough that a couple of us wandered over to look at electronics.

Majafa’s post about random keyboard shortcuts inspired me to look through my system preferences to see whether OS X does or doesn’t have something comparable to Windows’ sticky keys. I think they do, but I can’t find it. However, what I did notice (finally) was …
