Sometimes I write code. Sometimes I build things. Sometimes I find things in the woods. Sometimes I am five years old. Sometimes I fix things. Sometimes I repeat myself. Sometimes I write things down. Sometimes I take pictures of my kids. Sometimes I break things. Sometimes I take pictures of my cats. Sometimes I Lorem Ipsum. Sometimes I watch racing. Sometimes I hate CSS. Sometimes I repeat myself. Sometimes I get tired of writing "Sometimes". Sometimes I make toys. Sometimes I play guitar. Sometimes I wonder how I can't think of more to write here. Sometimes I dolor sit amet. Sometimes I am a grumpy old man. Sometimes I wash the dishes. Sometimes I repeat myself. Sometimes I think my jokes are funny. Sometimes I consectetur adipisicing elit. Sometimes I just need one more thing. Sometimes I mourn a racer.

I enjoy sharing my pop-cultural context with my kids but it turns out "Good night. Good Work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning." can be hard to explain to a sleepy 4 year old.

Last night my daughter and I were talking at bedtime. Somehow we started talking about having the light turned on vs. turned off during a bedtime story, and she said words to the effect of "with a paper-back book you have to have the light turned on, but with a phone-back book you can have it either way." I feel both completely charmed and also very old.

Nice to know +SPEED Channel's keeping up with the series they cover. Apparently MotoGP features 800cc bikes designed by top engineers from manufacturers like Suzuki. Oh, and grab a copy the the official 2011 live timing app while you're there.

My wife wanted to make a sugar cream pie this weekend and tried to find a recipe in her cookbooks. None of her cookbooks, including two which only contain pies, had a recipe for it. That seemed odd for what we thought was such a popular pie. She looked it up on wikipedia, and the article is strangely Indiana-centric.

Non-hoosiers, have you had sugar cream pie before? If not, would you know what to expect if someone served it to you (not that the name is a un-pierce-able veil of my
