Snow is awesome! #
Vienna is quite lovely in the snow, but is it lovely enough to indulge my daughter’s "I want to try out my snow suit" wish? #

Originally uploaded by scottpartee.

I had forgotten about how funny it was the last time I was in Canada. I had a pocket full of various countries’ currencies: US from mistaken change in Canada; Canadian; Euros and; bizarrely enough, Slovenian coins that were accidentally stashed [...]

A few month back, Halane and I were returning from one of the many baby doctor appointments we attended during this recent pregnancy. It was a hot, beautiful summer day. In fact, the photos are here(link coming). The doctor’s we chose, since we have private insurance, tend to be located where more people have private [...]

Getting Jizzy over the Mac “trojan” (Daring Fireball)

Question: if I go to the store and buy Leopard here in Vienna, will it be the same Mac OS X or some ghetto version? #
Just to be clear: Wien is no ghetto, but sometimes, the products we get seem to indicate that companies think it might be one. #
Hey Wieners and Wienerinen! Where is [...]
