Month: August 2002

as seen many places, but most recently at glish:

– hero network –

and I can’t figure out why my posts are showing up as an hour earlier than they actually are. what gives? (showing up early on my site, that is – they look fine in Blogger.)

today the cell phones will go back…it’s just not worth it when reception out at the college is non-existant.

I want to plan a trip – I know (approx.) the destination, and I know that it’s a driving trip, and that camping is preferred to motels. but I can’t figure out how to plan that without bouncing between state & national park web sites, map sites (so far, expedia & rand mcnally have been most helpful), and an actual paper road atlas.

oh, and C is having trouble with the people at the men’s wearhouse because they don’t have the right information stored for the shirt & tie he needs. (update – apparently, there was some sort of fiasco somewhere else down the line. extra shirts & ties will be provided at the end of the journey.)

not technology, but still frustrating: my mother and my aunt. now Jane won’t let mom in the house; she has to meet my (very ill) grandmother in a restaurant. I’m about ready to swing into action, if I can figure out what I want to do. if grandma’s still alive then, I’d like to see her on my way to the reunion in September.

but I should finally have a little time to write next week. in the meantime, enjoy these fine links (lots more where those came from…):

– “People With Ability To Use Google And Too Much Time On Their Hands Cheer Victory Over Embattled Professional Fact Checkers, Headlines At Eleven.” best. comment. ever. (without the “headlines at eleven”, it’d make a great onion article.)
– a new host? (after the sweethomes debacle, I’m wary about going with a host that’s just a couple of guys, but if they’ve managed to keep Wil Wheaton running, then they can’t be doing too badly.)
– Creative Commons metadata – I don’t understand it, but it fascinates me.
– “since you’re a non-profit…” – I’m perpetually cynical about non-profits now, but these guys seem damn sharp.
…must…write…css haiku…
– and the book of five rings as a 5k entry (2001)

oh, and happy birthday, K. when I finish unpacking (mrs. krabapple sez: “ha!”), I might hafta post that poem I wrote for your 25th, when we weren’t speaking.
