Funny Patent Search
I was checking out the new Google Patents service, which is a much improved interface over the one offered by the USPTO, and which I’d heard about via Googling Google. I was also looking at information about the onstage 45-degree lean performed by Michael Jackson and his dancers during concerts featuring the song “Smooth Criminal” … Continue reading
Sports Events
I am not a major fan of sports. Okay, I am not a fan of sports at all. The only reason I learned anything about football was because I was in the marching band in high school, and sitting through the first half of all those games taught me a little bit – which I’ve … Continue reading

Good WordPress Themes
This is a totally frivolous post. I was looking through the WordPress Theme Browser, and I made a list of themes I liked, so I’m posting that list here. They’re all free to download, so if you like them, go for it. The Happy Cat Bubblue Tropical Flowers Vermilion Christmas Web 2 Wannabe Sky Summer … Continue reading
Used Car Classifieds
LemonFree.com is a used car classifieds site, making it an alternative to Craigslist etc. You can search by make/model, year, and location (the advanced search adds in mileage and price). One nice feature of LemonFree is that if you don’t turn up any results for your exact search, it will automatically pull in eBay listings … Continue reading

Nano Envy
I am officially so jealous. One of :A:’s friends got her an 8gb black iPod Nano for Xmas. Unfortunately this friend’s father died this past weekend, and she can’t fly to Peru until tomorrow, so she’s going through a lot right now and I can’t even hate her. I’ve tried to convince :A: that my … Continue reading
Mischa’s New Wonder Drug?
I was surprised to see an opportunity to come up for a paid post about a product for pet depression, stress and anxiety. I didn’t realize there was a market out there for this! The product is called Anivive, and it’s an all-natural supplement for animals. We have an anxious cat – Mischa licks himself … Continue reading
Bullet Notes
I have been watching The Lost Room on Sci-Fi. It is ultra-good, but I am going to miss tonight’s CSI:NY because of it, which makes me sad because tonight’s episode is heavily deaf-themed. But The Lost Room is just that good. My new addiction is Sugar Free Chocolate & Caramel Creme Savers, by the people … Continue reading
