Where do you find your personal strength?
Sponsored by Nature Made.

In no particular order...
My kids!
Caffeine.
Breakfast cereals.
Doing my best to keep a sense of awe and wonder about the world, which even in its most mundane is filled with magic.
Naps.

Have you ever broken a bone? If so, how?

I've never broken anyone's bones, no. What kind of person do you think I am?

QotD: Who Should Pay?

nobody@vox.com(Michael Sippey) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:44:06 -0800

You crash your friend's car because you're driving too fast in bad weather. Everyone's okay, but the car has to go into the shop. Who pays the deductible?

I was told there would be no math.

QotD: I Turn My Camera On

nobody@vox.com(Michael Sippey) — Thu, 31 May 2007 19:03:29 -0700

What kind of camera(s) do you own?

A Nikon D50 that currently has about 300 pictures from our trip to Florida on it that I need to go review and edit. And then the others are phones! My Dash and then a Nokia N73. The Nokia takes better photos than the Dash, but the Dash lets me delete my email. So that gets the SIM card most days.

What do you do while your Tivo buffers your favorite show?
Submitted by Sippey

Gee, thanks for asking! I do email. And then, right after I cross that magic 15 minute threshold, I get all antsy. Like I am right now. Like I have to stop what I'm doing right now and GO WATCH.

Inspired by Stephanie.

We know you never slack off at work, but if you did, what would you do?

Nice try, Barak.
