in which I write about stuff
okay, with a little more detail: I can’t say that I wasn’t eagerly anticipating the arrival of this book. I ordered it on December 11, 2001, according to amazon, and it shipped on October 20, 2002. I’ve been reading Clark’s (Joe’s?) stuff for a little while now…probably about six-eight months before ordering the book, and [...]
I’m waiting for my DNS to propagate, which sounds like something that happens in a bad sci-fi movie. before you continue, please read the following: – Mental Illness (by Dorothea) – mental illness (by Anil Dash) I’ll take this as seriously as it’s intended. now, I don’t know if everything that I’ve been through in [...]
they’ve been searching a house in Tacoma for info about some guy who has something to do with the sniper thing. weird. (why is it that Tacoma only ever shows up in the context of crime in the news?) I decided to sign up for National Novel Writing Month…probably a bit of insanity on my [...]
- why do I always connect things that happen (to whomever) to other things that happened (to me) in the past? – is it a good thing? – do I pay more attention to events (world events) when someone I know (or something like that) is involved? – is that a good thing?

Oliver Willis thinks it means that blogging has jumped the shark. Mark Pilgrim marvels at how he can manage to stay on top of things after all these years. I’m just gonna smile: Doonesbury takes on blogging. didn’t know about this tech bookstore, and I really want this book….Bookpool (thanks, K!) fyi: best value notebooks. [...]
I have no comment, but must quote: Getting towards midnight, with beer: Damn it, I want to drink and dance and sing, with my friends, Rick’s friends; I want to burn wood and smell the smoke and piss in the sea, shout at the moon, cry at the beauty of this world and swear eternal [...]
- For Richer – 11 page story in the New York Times about inequality in America, and how it’s grown over the last 20 years. quite disheartening.
today I returned a pair of lopping shears that I’d borrowed from our friends around the corner…and returned with a tray full of plants. (I have only a vague idea of where I’m going to plant them.) I’ve never been a gardener, and I’m fascinated to watch Dani work in her garden, which is beautiful [...]
