ISO 8601 | Birthday Slambango
https://slambango.wordpress.com/2010/06/19/iso-8601
RIP Tree, Part 2. People who should say no →. June 19, 2010. I can’t think about trees anymore; I’m going crazy. Instead, I want to tell you about something that makes me happy, and that is ISO 8601. ISO 8601 is the international standard for representation of dates and times. I sincerely thank the ISO for just making some goddamn decisions. Can you imagine a world where no one would come out and say: “Here’s the right way to express dates! Where there were no style manuals or call number systems? Fill i...

The Time-worn Servitor | Birthday Slambango
https://slambango.wordpress.com/2011/11/23/the-time-worn-servitor
November 23, 2011. To all of you guys who commented, emailed, or even wrote actual physical letters to me after you read my last post: thank you so much. It’s so hard to know what to say to a grieving person, but you all shared such heartfelt and poignant thoughts with me that it really softened the blow of losing Grandma, and reminded me of how universal grief is and its ability to connect people. AT no time does solemnity so possess our souls as when we stand deserted at the brink of darkness into whic...

Beth | Birthday Slambango
https://slambango.wordpress.com/2011/10/15/beth
You are not tired →. October 15, 2011. Last week I received a number of dirty texts on my iPhone from an Austin area code. Either some (I’m sure well-meaning) girl got the wrong number, or there’s a rumor out there that I have a huge penis and she wanted in on the action. Or it was spam. That’s what I assumed, so I didn’t respond and deleted each of the messages as they came in. But then a few days passed and I got this text:. Oct 7, 2011 12:29 PM. I GUESS U DONT WANT TO SEE ME ANYMORE BETH. Okay, whatev...

My grandma died. →. You are not tired. November 5, 2011. Joel is trying to disabuse me of the notion that sleepiness is a merit-based system. I didn’t realize until recently that I felt this way. It didn’t start until Milo was born and I entered an alternate reality of true sleep deprivation. It’s kind of funny at first (. Haha, I thought the stuffed turtle was the baby! Damn it, Angela, you used to get sleepy before you had a baby. Remember insomnia? Okay, could this person actually be sleepy? Total hou...

Things People Say | Birthday Slambango
https://slambango.wordpress.com/things-people-say
People say hilarious things all the time. Luckily, I write them down. ANGELA: would rich people buy a graco stroller, though? JOEL: i think they actually got the stroller as a hand me down (and they had another one, so maybe it was super fancy). JOEL: i think so (not sure if theirs had hyphens though). ANGELA: What is the big hole [that they’re drilling in the wall] for? PIPER: It’s for a T1 line. BRUCE: Yes. So we can watch Terminator. ANGELA: Oooh, Terminator 2? I love that one. ANGELA: What is this?

April | 2014 | Birthday Slambango
https://slambango.wordpress.com/2014/04
Monthly Archives: April 2014. The Joy of Budgeting. April 6, 2014. Hey, guess what I forgot to do: change the title of the post — the title I assigned to a post in August 2013 that was never written — after deciding not to write about budgeting. Guess what else: I’m going to go do something else now. Get back on the horse, Hyperbole and a Half! You can do it, Stars and Garters! 8221; and I’ll give him a ride to Grayson’s house and then I’ll come home and be home. By myself. And ...Here, I was going to sh...

May | 2013 | Birthday Slambango
https://slambango.wordpress.com/2013/05
Monthly Archives: May 2013. We are not the hotshots. May 24, 2013. I’ll be honest, I haven’t felt compelled to write creatively in a long time. I feel compelled to share pictures of Milo on the Milo blog and to recap conferences on the blog at work — but sitting down and writing a Slambango post is not something I’ve cared about doing for over a year. I could TOTALLY FUCKING DO THAT JOB. I would be SO FUCKING AMAZING AT THAT JOB. I WANT THAT JOB. I will NEVER GET THAT JOB. My photo organization structure?
