It's a sunflower
tinypliny - 09/09/07 14:01
What are those leaf-like things?
james - 09/09/07 12:01
I believe I was discussing the transcendental properties of bean curd in a vacuum while the observer is being tickled with robotic puppy tails.
paul - 09/09/07 11:11
No worries - I did see it but I was out with Holly to see the steve Kurtz documentary followed by the Squeaky Wheel Animation Festival.
jim - 09/09/07 11:04
Paul, we stopped at Coulter Bay for a drink with them before they headed out to Roxy's. We should have invited you guys but you know I guess I just assume you see everything that goes on here. :) Sorry!
jim - 09/09/07 10:33
You're trying to figure out if (e:James) is making something up, I think.
fellyconnelly - 09/09/07 10:31
i have sat here for several moments trying to figure out what that look on my face is. am i immensely interested in what james is saying? following his every word? smiling for the camera i see out of the corner of my mind?
or is this how i look when a teacher speaks to me about sustainable agriculture and its effects on post modern architecture?
jim - 09/09/07 10:11
If you want to be accurate it is Saturday, I guess :(
paul - 09/09/07 10:10
Isn't that Saturday?

Doesn't (e:James) have a nice uvala?

fellyconnelly - 09/08/07 00:02
i am feeling free to infer....

but it is strange how different james can look from photo to photo. though in the middle one is definetely the 'history professor' look.
james - 09/07/07 20:35
Often I have been told I have a nice uvula. That is actually how I paid my way through college, as a uvula model.

Feel free to infer what that means.

I was expecting something like this :::link:::

tinypliny - 09/07/07 18:33
Nice teeth too.

A Vacation About Programming
Category: life
Ruby Conf 2007 here I come!

I got permission from (e:James) and we are headed down to Charlotte NC at the beginning of November for 3 days of geekery!

James will just lounge pool-side while I soak in such topics as these: With a keynote by Matz, the creator of Ruby. FYI, Ruby is a programming language.

I've got the hotel booked and my registration for the conference all set, thankfully 'work' is paying for it :)

I can't wait.
fellyconnelly - 09/08/07 00:05
wow. geekery and james in a thong and tanning butter. this post is more than i can handle.
jim - 09/07/07 15:37
Sorry, by 'work' I mean that I am paying for it, since I work freelance. But work is paying for it in the sense that it's coming out of my business account and I can write it off.
carolinian - 09/07/07 15:31
While I'm more a fan of extremely verbose languages (let's make those fingies burn!), I envy you enormously. I wish I could visit my home state, and I wish my workplace would pay for me to go to programming conferences.

Apparently I can't go to WWDC because the previous programmers decided they weren't interested in the business paying for them to go to WWDC. And I've been grandfathered into their foolishness.

Anyhow, please ignore my bitter rants and have as much fun as possible!
james - 09/07/07 15:27
I am going to lounge pool side the entire time in a thong. All oiled up with tanning butter you can introduce me as your cabana boy, Rodrigo.

Registration just opened for Ruby Conference 2007. Hmm... a vacation about programming? In North Carolina in Buffalo's cold November?

I think I might just have to go...

I sold some other stuff to pay for this but man oh man it was worth it!
ladycroft - 09/07/07 05:53

james - 09/06/07 22:34
Ben loves the ladies. So you may pet away Felly.
fellyconnelly - 09/06/07 20:40

leetee - 09/06/07 19:02
cute puppy
drew - 09/06/07 18:46
Great dog. Great lens, too.

Do you know of anybody with an older but still ok digital camera that they might want to sell cheap?
jason - 09/06/07 18:07
Your dog has tons of charm. As if you didn't know that already!
lauren - 09/06/07 18:01
