Now that I have a little more free time I thought I’d follow up on my previous post. As of this moment my throat hurts so much that I can’t talk above a whisper and swallowing is excruciatingly painful. Needless to say, coughing is an activity akin to
Hot damn do I feel like crap. I went home early from work yesterday and it was a pretty quick decline from there. I have a fever, my throat is sore, and my back hurts. I've also got that cold sweat thing going on. I took today off
After owning an iMac for almost two years I finally broke down and bought another mouse (not this kind of mouse, I get a one of those every year). The one-button thing was really holding me back, so I bought a Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse and I’m loving it
There's an interesting ritual where I live that occurs once a year around spring time. For the last four years, although not quite every year, a small mouse somehow manages to find it’s way into the house. I don’t really know how they do it since
At long last a site that answers the age old what-do-you-call-a-group-of... question. A few personal favourites: A group of Ferrets? A business. A group of Giraffes? A tower (of course). A group of Hippopotamuses? A bloat! [Original link via Boing Boing]

A while back I posted an entry about who will play the lead role in the Dr. Who series when it returns in 2005. It turns out that the rumours are false and instead the lead role will be played by Christopher Eccleston (who some of you may know from
Scott Knaster points out some little know facts about Amazon like the availability of product manuals, restaurant menus, and free music. Yes, free music and not the "har har!" pirated kind either. I guess these are probably not little know facts anymore considering how news travels, but it
Many things have taken a back seat as I go through an extended bout of the blahs. I haven't been running in ages and the before mentioned redesign has slowed to an absolute crawl. The redesign was supposed to be a subtle improvement to the current design with
A nicely compiled list of favlets from Sean Willson. My favourite favlet (try saying that 5 times fast) is the one for posting to Movable Type. The favlet that comes with Movable Type wasn't compatible with Safari, this one is. All you need to do is change the
