I’d meant to update earlier in the week, but at work they’ve been putting a new roof on the building, and part of that process is moving hot tar around right next to where the air-intake for the ventilation system is. As a result, I’ve come home from work with a big headache both days so far this week, and Monday I felt worse about driving than I do after most evenings at the bar.
So anyway, I’m later than I’d hoped with the update. And I still haven’t finished uploading the vacation photos from Austria. But I’m still chugging along, and when I finish typing this, I’ll be adding a few more photos. And possibly this weekend I’ll get around to writing some text to go with them. Just don’t hold your breath.
- Ever wonder what Making Castoff involves, and just exactly why books are printed in the fonts they are? Go read the article and learn. Hey, I found it interesting. [kottke]
- Hurra Torpedo’s version of Jim Steinman’s Total Eclipse Of The Heart is one damn fine video. I’m pretty sure Bonnie Tyler’s version has nothing on it. [backup brain]
- Why do people worry about national ID? Well, there was that little to-do in Rwanda, where Hutus killed Tutsis, based on the tribal identification on their ID. And now Iraqis turn to fake IDs as protection because Shiites want to appear to be Sunnis and vice-versa (depending on where they are). Of course, that would never happen here. [claire]
- Joey’s got the word on an Exciting New Doritos Flavour! Apparently it’s something like
electric shock to the yarbles
ornut-kicking good
flavor. Maybe one of my readers who actually speaks Japanese can help with the translation. [accordionguy] - Hey Jim, are you going to be Taking the Mickey anytime soon?
What’s next, Buzzcocks beanie babies?
Well, if that’s next, I know what you’re getting for Christmas… [boing boing]
