Yesterday turned out to be a pretty good and productive day. I made a ton of progress on a job I thought I was going to be late on, and handed off the latest version to the client before calling it a day. Yeah, it was about 9pm when I finished instead of before the close of business, but it still feels good to have gotten it done. And that with a trip to the bank in the morning, a mid-afternoon visit from the chimney sweep (my fireplace is mostly ready to go for the winter now), and a break about suppertime to head over for a steak at the Sporty. Good day!
I’m still behind on a ton of things, though. I’m going to try and get a bunch more paying stuff done today, and then spend the weekend putting together a bunch of pictures I’ve been promising you folks. With any luck, I’ll get ’em done before too much longer.
- Glenn Reynolds (the Instapundit) is singin’ Songs about the Southland, specifically the Jacksonian response to defense, and what it means for this year’s election. Basically, the Jacksonian ideal is to stay out of foreign affairs unless the country is threatened, and then come down on those making the threat like a ton of bricks. [instapundit]
- Scott’s review of Sushi Tango, in which he complained that the fish wasn’t fresh-tasting on Monday, reminded me of Things to avoid when eating in restaurants, the top one of which is not to order fish on Monday, unless you know the restaurant is getting it right from the fisherman. Just one of the many food tips I got from Kitchen Confidential ISBN:0060934913. [scott mcgerik]
- Hey, over at Karl’s blog, there’s more than you could ever want to know about Schumann resonances, the low-frequency EM waves that bounce around the earth. Spiffy collection of links, Karl. Permalinks would be handy. [karl]
- This cartoon Drawn Together (
There’s a Black Chick’s Tongue in my mouth
) is, as Steveo said, so wrong, and yet so right. Almost certainly not safe for work. Flash required. [steveo]
