On p. 68 of the December issue of Marie Claire, it’s suggested that Flickr.com/map is a cool site to visit to waste time (that’s true). The Yahoo-owned site is described as: Half Google Maps, half photo slide show… Google scores! Yahoo… gained such a cool site when they bought Flickr that people just assume...

Day 3: COLD
Day 3: COLD, originally uploaded by kpwerker. Today the sun is finally shining. Of course, it’s damn cold. The rest of Canada is laughing at us, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s brutal out here, and it does count that we’re just not used to weather like this. Drive slowly! Day 3:...

Think Geekier. Sheesh.
Know what sucks? Think Geek’s “ladies’” t-shirts don’t include the really good geeky ones, which they apparently think only appeal to men or women who don’t like smaller t-shirts. I want a <body> </body> one, but damned if I’m going to get one I won’t end up wearing. Um, women are geeks too. Technorati...

Just Say No.
This is a two-part post. The first part is short: Last night I ripped out my very first sock-in-progress. I hated working on it. The heel was a disaster. I was using too-small needles. Now I’m free to make other socks, and I feel free. — This is the seventh day of the boiled...

Fearful Competition
So, the Zune‘s out. And CNN pretty much shows every reason not to buy one. Strikes me that Microsoft’s decision to make the Zune totally inflexible (in terms of it not playing iTunes* or Napster songs, allowing beaming only of songs and only from Zune to Zune and only for 3 listens) will make...
