((sigh))

March 31, 2005

Merrin's out of town and…it's really quiet around here. The good news is she'll be back tomorrow and then it's off to Mexico on Monday morning.
If you think the blogging has been sparse around here lately, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Fanblogs browser & newsreader stats

March 27, 2005

Every so often, the larger websites will break down their traffic to report on browser stats and newsreader stats. (Arts Technica has such an analysis today.) Most of the time, these are done by – let's be honest – sites that would be considered on the geekier side of Mom & Pop America.
So, I thought [...]

HDTV

March 26, 2005

I'm still giving thought to buying a plasma screen. I wonder what a 50 ton, 79 foot by 71 foot screen would go for. I'd have to rearrange some things around the house, but it would be worth it.

Myrrh, aloe and cassia

March 26, 2005

I'm 100% certain that Easter (much like Christmas) has gotten way, way, way too commercial. Case in point:
Jesus scented candles. Not scented candles with images of Jesus – no. These are "the fragrance of Christ", taken from "the formula…spelled out in Psalm 45", now yours for only $18.

Please…don't…do…that

The alarm clock for my wife

March 23, 2005

Pete blogged the details on the new alarm clock MIT created to make sure you get out of bed. After you snooze, it moves from the bedside table to another part of the room (!) and goes off again. It could use some work from a presentation standpoint (it's a tad too function over form), [...]
