Today’s picture was taken on the Loring Greenway. I don’t remember off the top of my head which building that is in the background, but I like the picture anyhow. It ain’t perfect, but it’s interesting. At least to me.
They tell me it’s spring out there. And I can see it in the sunrises the past few days. The sun is now coming up in the gap between the houses across the alley. That gap happens to be straight east of my dining room windows, so I’ve got my own little stonehenge every morning. But it sure doesn’t feel much like spring this week. High temperatures are hovering around freezing, and don’t seem to be putting much of a dent in the snow we got last week.
Of course I’m not exactly ready for spring myself, having logged a whopping hour or two on my trike/trainer since the first of the year, but I still feel like Mother Nature could throw me a bone. Especially since I started the “spring cleaning” last night. At the rate I’m going, the house will be ship-shape by, oh, about 2025. But hey, there’s at least less dust in my bedroom, so maybe I’ll be able to kick the sniffles one of these days.
- AskOxford’s Frequently Asked Questions is a heckuva resource for a language geek. Or a language-geek wannabe, since a real language geek would probably already know the answers. [kottke]
- This Index of the 100 science fiction books you just have to read actually has a few books on it I haven’t read. I’m not entirely sure I agree with the list, either. There are some authors I think pretty highly of who don’t have a book on the list, and some I think are crap who do. I suppose I could put together my own list, but that would be more work than just complaining about someone else’s. [fark!]
- There are apparently a lot of sites Tracking traffic in the Twin Cities. I find the simplest solution is to just drive before all those other people are in my way. [metro mpls]
- Kim has a long post on the Forced Equality of the sexes, and how it relates to Lara Croft. Personally, I’m a lot more interested in Tank Girl, but what the hell. [kim]
- In some news about “Operation Decadence” (I love that!), the Barking Moonbat Early Warning System tells us all about the Sex, Drugs And … Tech Support that’s going on in India. And to the people who say that all the good domain names are taken, operationdecadence.com was still available as I was writing this. Plus nobody grabbed mentalhygienist.com when I let that lapse. Bargains abound!
