Friday Frittering: Last Day at Work Edition

Last week’s experiment with putting up mp3s worked out okay, and I think it’s more fun to share actual music than to show off my stellar playlists. I’ve also acquired some bootleg Pimsleur lessons, which are completely clogging up the shuffle function… a Random Ten at this point would be insufferably full of “Spanish Unit […]

A Personal Ontology of Bagels

I promised I’d bring bagels:

Gravity Comes from Pine Cones on Mount St. Helens

Without a radio for my morning drive, I can feel ignorance wrapping itself around my shoulders. It’s very comforting.
However, not to be missed is that Mount St. Helens is at it again. Check the Volcano Cam, kids, and here are several pretty pictures from last night.
Additionally, there’s a new Internet Crackpot of the Week, please […]

More WordPress Babbling

One: I’ve gotten my first comment spam on the new system - that was fast!
Two: I have a CSS question for all y’alls. This page was originally set up with a default link-color rule for the sidebar, header, and footer; links in this box, the #content div, were given a special rule: #content a:link { […]

The Moral Matrix

Another 2D political quiz. I’m in the moderately upper left:

Ideologies: Social Democratism
US Parties: No match.

Ain’t that the truth. Sigh.

Blah Blah Blah

How many entries do I have sitting in draft mode? A lot. One or two of them are halves of good posts. Why haven’t I finished any of them? I don’t know.

Which science fiction writer are you? I’m Hal Clement. [via]. I’m also Long Drugs “Goth Black” matte interior latex paint. Like, whoa.

Something weird is […]

Laziest Entry Ever!

Quizzes and memeage inside. I feel muffled and must defilter with zombie brains. Not thought! Squeak.

First, the “first line of poetry” game, via LDH. The rules: copy the list, and replace all the first lines you don’t recognize with the first lines of poems you do know, you illiterate swill. Replacements are in bold.

Two […]

I’m a Cushion

I’m a cushion, and due to find lasting love and companionship with a floor lamp:

The P SIG cushion has a special affinity with the RISKA mirror, the ideal partner for those long journeys. But although you complement each other perfectly, you won’t find true love with a RISKA. There is rarely that magical […]
