I really wish there was a Tiny Wings version for the iPad.

My New Espresso Bar

We had a new cabinet installed recently and the countertop and plumbing were finished today. I now have a nice spot for my espresso machine an it’s even plumbed in so no more filling up the reservoir in the unit. Just need some pulls for the doors now.

Just swapped my boot drive for an SSD with no more than 3 minutes of downtime for screws and a reboot. Thank you SuperDuper!

Seeing The New Standards at The Dakota tonight. Amazing seats.

See list of The New Standards shows.

I didn’t even realize I had videos on Google Video until Google sent me an email saying they were shutting it down.

Very bothersome that the Mac Twitter client doesn’t honor Spaces. It forces itself in every space.

Nginx hits v1! Cool.

Awesome new Community Supported Kitchen program from Corner Table and Scott Pampuch.

What plants for our backyard?

Last year we had some hardscaping done in our backyard. We created a little planting area next to the garage. This year I’d like to plant it but am not sure what to plant.

The area is almost always in the shade, so we need plants that do well with low light. We only want native plants and have a strong bias for perennials. I could see a couple of annuals if they really added to it. I like tall native grasses but I’m guessing the constant shade will be a problem.

Any suggestions from Minnesotan “green thumbs” reading? Here is a photo of the planting bed alongside the garage.
