Okay, I was still up by 4am, but I’ve been dragging this morning. It’s taken the better part of an hour to come up with any kind of idea about what to type here, and as you can see, it’s not much of an idea. The excuse today is that the sniffles have gone away, to be replaced with clogged sinuses. Won’t stop me from heading in to work, but I’m running in a lower gear today.

I’m into the pictures where there are little (or not so little) flaws that bug me in each of the ones I have left to post. Today’s for example, was framed such that the top of the cross got cut off. Just a few pixels higher, and I would have been happy with it, but a little mistake like that means it gets condemned to a slow day like today. I guess that’s not all bad. At least it’s only a small mistake that bugs me about the photo, but I am going to need to pay a little more attention to details like that if I’m going to make pictures I like more frequently. And it’s only a couple days until I’ll go out and collect a new batch of stuff to start throwing at you.
And I think that’s going to do it for this morning. Time to go eat some sudafed before they make it illegal, and then head off to work for the day.
- A study done in Berkeley has some findings on how to spot a baby conservative. Apparently whiny children grow up to be conservatives. Maybe it’s just because they realize from an early age that the world is a bleak and unforgiving place. I dunno. More interesting than the study itself are the reactions people are having to it.

- Okay, it’s kind of a weird Minnesota thing, but when An Iowan ponders the MN Meat Raffle, it gets a guy thinking. I guess maybe meat raffles are weirder than I thought. But it’s still kinda cool. I mean, Cheap Meat! What’s not to like? And heck, a bunch of places will even let you donate your winnings to a homeless shelter if you don’t want to take home a roast. [metro mpls]
- The City Pages has an interview with an expert about Bird Flu. We’re all going to die, apparently.
- CNET says Networked storage heads for homes. I sure hope they’re right, but it’s probably going to be a while before I have a network storage device on my network at home. There are also a whole slew of issues around such devices when they go into homes. For example with Minneapolis’ proposed wireless plan, you won’t have a home network unless you spend money for a special wireless router/firewall. You certainly wouldn’t want your storage device world visible, would you? Well, I wouldn’t. [photoshop news]
