Political Compass

November 17, 2005

It’s been a while since I bookmarked it, so I don’t remember where I first saw the Political Compass “test”, but because it caught my eye in the bookmarks list, I thought I’d finally get around to taking it. And here’s the result: As you can see on the Analysis page, I fall in the [...]

NaNoWriMo: Day One

November 1, 2005

Well, I spent a lot of tonight thinking about where I should start, and I think I’ve settled on something. The biggest problem I have to overcome with this project is that I tend to edit as I go, and it’s really dragging down the pace at which I can produce anything “usable”. I have [...]

November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)

October 29, 2005

I barely manage to read a book over the course of a month, so I don’t know what makes me think I can write one in 30 days. I’m going to give it a shot though because my old partner in crime has put out the call, and I can’t say no. National Novel Writing [...]

Years and Minutes

October 9, 2005

Book List Thingie

August 25, 2005

Tagged by Ninjanun. 1. Number of books I have owned: It’s had to have been over 1000. At one point, I needed one of those self-storage units to put then in. Because I’m kind of a slow reader, I probably read 1 book for every 10 that I buy. I wound up selling or giving [...]

Todd popped online this morning and linked me to a website along the same lines as Deeper Motive called Hello, Dollar!.

Doggy Style

July 20, 2005

There’s not a whole lot I can say about this auction picture from eBay. These are two Snoopy pencil sharpeners. You can see where, on the one on the left, where you put in the pencil. We can only guess about the one on the right. See the auction.

1/2 Mile of Peter

July 8, 2005

I bought this desk from a thrift store last week, and when I got it home I started opening the drawers, pulling them out, seeing if anything neat had fallen behind the drawers, looking to see what clues I could find about where this desk came from or who owned it. What I found was [...]

Midnight Dorkery Awaits

May 16, 2005

Yep, I have to admit it. I will be standing in line with a bunch of other geeks, nerds, dorks, and dweebs for the midnight showing of Star Wars: Episode III. It just can’t be helped. I’ve been seduced by the dork side. But while we’re all waiting for 12:01 AM, Thursday, May 19, 2005, [...]
