231.6 That’s what the scale said when I pushed the button for the first time in months this morning. I stopped weighing myself daily when I started spending most of my time at the Artist’s place, and with everything in storage for a couple months, and then moving and unpacking, I didn’t set it up [...]
So, the work situation is looking better. Wouldn’t be starting until July, but one offer coming today, and another local company that seemed very interested in me on the phone just now.

EDIT: And I just noticed the flight number’s significance. Damn it, Eris! Can’t you cut one of your popes a break? *sigh* [...]
Me: So Post-Modernism is the philosophical version of Web 2.0? She: That may well be the geekiest thing you’ve ever said to me. Me: Does that make it wrong? She: No, it makes it very very right. Me: But is it right as a conceptual statement, rather than a way to turn you on? Tweet
T Campbell, an acquaintance of mine and possibly the world’s only Webcomics Historian, pointed this comic out on his blog yesterday. Occasionally, I need the reminder that idealism and enthusiasm should extend past politics. Life is good. For the first time in a long while, life is damn good. I should remember that, and live [...]
Since it’s that time of year, and since a couple people have asked, and since it’s only a matter of time before my mother asks: Amazon Wish List Think Geek Wish ListJ!NX Wish List Update II: Anything from the CBLDF’s Year End Auction.
