When the husband woke up today he started to shave his head. Midway through he remarked “this is one way to get rid of bedhead”. Too true.
While catching up over at Electrolicious my eye was drawn to the headline: Blogging = Good For You! A sentiment I was likely inclined to agree with in advance, of course, but Ariel was discussing specifics…Tim Bray’s top Ten Reasons Why Blogging is Good For Your Career. The list doesn’t necessarily apply to me, except for this point:
7. Networking is good for your career. Blogging is a good way to meet people.
I couldn’t agree more, and certainly agree with the overall message (especially his parting words). Speaking of networking…because of my beloved flickr, an old high school friend found and contacted me today. And that was neat.
Bonus: The latest Hitchiker’s Guide trailers [2, 3] get me ridiculously giddy. Especially since Alan Rickman can now be heard as the voice of Marvin the Paranoid Android. Squeeeeeeee!
Plus: Lane makes his layout a little easier on the eyes…before leaving for SXSW. Rock star.
And: Dave, dear, I hope your surgery went well today and you find the percocet especially effective. Before long your old schnozz will be just like new. Or new and improved. Or something.
And another thing: While Dave is doped up maybe he won’t be able to further tease me about my online habits. It’s true that, once upon a time, I may have had a short-lived ebay addiction. I’ve been very good the last two years or so, dammit. Selling more stuff than buying, and only picking up essentials…like winter boots for the little man. But tonight I made my first non-essential purchase in ages. New shoes. And they’re seriously cute. So there.
