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
Hotel Prices for Tours
I was bored today. So I looked up some hotel prices from the most recent Go Ahead brochure – we get at least one a month, because back in 2001 we went on their Turkish Adventure tour. All package prices include international airfare; their prices are really quite good considering that airfare, many meals, transportation, … Continue reading

Not just who I voted for in the 2006 Bloggies, but why!
2006 Bloggie Nominations
I feel like sharing with you all my nominations for the 2006 Bloggies. As you may notice, I got bored before the end.

Unfortunately it turns out … Continue reading
Xmas Gift Roundup
Just because I can, I guess. Be warned: much Hello Kitty to follow.

I’m thinking of starting to run the software again, and I want to join a team but I don’t know which one! I’m considering Amateur Radio Operators, Team … Continue reading
Web To-Do List
I really should redo my sidebar. I haven’t updated it to change the Divinitas link into a link to my main TCG page even though Divinitas has been dead for months and I’ve joined a couple of others. There’s also just random junk in there I can get rid of. I need to wash my … Continue reading
Library Thing
I mentioned Library Thing in a quicklinks post, but I hadn’t had time to fully investigate the site. Now I have, and this definitely merits its own entry. Like all good geeks and smart people, we have a few thousand books sitting around the house. Most are in bookcases, a few are in piles, some … Continue reading
