Last night I topped 150 pages in the draft of my novel-writing project. Last night the heat kicked on, signalling the mental start of the Vermont winter. This morning I topped 100,000 miles in my little Neon. w00t! currently playing: hold music
For anyone that didn’t know: I’ve been working on my novel like crazy. For those that did know: I really mean it this time. No really. Really. Not familiar with the backstory? For the past four or five years, I’ve been declaring my earnest intention to move on to my next serious novel-writing project. I […]
complete R-rated NPR interview w/ Chuck Palahniuk — probably the most important NPR interview ever (as if anyone could possibly know that) Painfully geeky mug off CafePress.com that just freakin’ begs to be gifted to many a *NIX nerd.
As an accidental experiment, I rolled through my usual blogs in reverse order this evening. I always stop by Beyond the Beyond but (i admit almost sheepishly) I rarely “take away” very much. Tonight though — and maybe it was b/c of the “in reverse” thing — or maybe it was b/c I’m trying to […]

Despite my best efforts, my body up and succumbed to the Great Mauve Plague of ’05 that’s been traipsing around the office of-late. /le sigh, indeed. Fortunately, I fell to its gnarly powers on a day where A had few obligations ’round the lab so she’s opted stay home and take care of me. Thus […]
Nice little condensed piece from techsoup.org on setting up an OS X server. Saving for later… *snip!* Another idea I find very appealing: iPod shuffles at libraries for Audible content. Supa cool. On the close to home front: “Dartmouth retools for Wi-Fi video”— Potentially disastrous if not executed properly. If I’m reading this correctly, this […]
Big, thankful shouts out to A’s long-time friend Deborah for sending us The Big Book of Weirdos. This rare gem off DC Comic’s “Factoid Books” line is a neat little 223 page B/W graphic w/ these abbreviated bios of some of history’s carbuncular freaks, black magickers, wealthy weirdos, and out-and-out wack-jobs. Everyone from Nikolai Tesla […]
