Mila a week ago, shortly after getting her second tooth…

Finally, a new theme and dropping the www

Finally, some long overdue updates here.
The old theme here was way beyond tired - I’m now using Derek’s wonderfully clean theme. I think I broke the feed for a little bit there, but it should be back up and properly redirecting to feed burner.
I also got rid of the www, so robsanheim.com is officially [...]

An Open (Love) Letter to Taco Bell’s Crunch Wrap Supreme

McSweeney’s is pretty much the perfect site for fridays.
The second your tortilla met my lips, I knew there was no turning back. You had it all! In one compact package, no less. You had the flexibility of a flour tortilla, the firm crunch of a corn tortilla, the freshness of lettuce and tomatoes. Your patches [...]

Delivering the groceries at 160 bpm

Today the wife and I start a new diet. I like to think of it as the “eat less and don’t be fat” diet. Basically, we can’t eat carbs after 11, and before 11 all carbs must be good. No donuts, no refined grains, etc. After 11 its basically low to no carbs - basic [...]
