Some weeks, the weekend never seems to come. This week, it seems to have snuck up on me. I think part of that is the goofiness of the Saints schedule at this point (we start the final home-stand of the season on Sunday), but part is just that I’ve been trying to organize my week differently. It seems to be working. I’ve been managing to get a reasonable amount of work done, and I’m keeping “other things” in a reasonable balance. We’ll see how it holds up over time, I guess.
I’m also starting to get that “end of the season” feeling about the Saints. Whether they make the playoffs or not (I’m buying my tickets for the playoffs), I can definitely feel the season winding down. That means I’ll be seeing some of the folks from the ballpark for the last time in the next week (even if the Saints make the playoffs, there are some folks who won’t be able to be there), and that’s always a sad thing. On the other hand, it’ll be nice to have some more time that isn’t budgeted in the evenings. There are a lot of projects around home that I need to get to before the snow starts flying, and a couple of them that I’m actually excited about doing.
- Tired of stumbling to the bathroom in the dark? Tired of being all alone at home? Maybe you should set up a Hamster-Powered Night Light so you’ll have company and a light to help you avoid being something that goes bump in the dark. [boing boing]
- This explains a lot: Eyewitness recall accuracy affected by mood, with bad moods making for better memories. So my being cranky is helpful! [boing boing]
- I don’t know if Skot’s take on the Olympics is quite as good as the cartoon I pointed to last week, but it made me laugh, and that’s good enough for me. [izzlepfaff!]
- From WaiWai: Professor splits hairs over pubic profiles, in which a professor explains how the shape of a woman’s pubic hair can tell you all about her personality. Maybe it’s just me, but I figure if I’m checking out the shape of a gal’s pubic hair, I probably already know something about her personality. [gweilodiaries]
- In what could be the kick-off for the
festivities
in New York, NYPD Threatens To Arrest Bike Riders At Critical Mass on Friday. Just one of the offerings from RNC Watch that might interest some of you. And yes, this is the reminder that it’s Critical Mass Friday, too. - John Perry Barlow has a Guerrilla Dancing Update for his planned activities while at the RNC. I like his idea. [instapundit]
- There’s Trouble brewing in the land of smtp, and this short article is full of links that explain what the trouble is and how we might deal with it. [openbsd]
