Overcast, chilly, leaf-killing weather deserves its own quasi-depressing Today theme for PPC. Summer is so totally over. It never really got that hot this summer; we only ran the window A/C unit in our bedroom for a week of days. I don’t feel like it’s time for Fall yet, at least not the cold, depressing […]
I can go for months and never wear a pair of jeans. I usually wear skirts, and if needed I put a pair of pants on underneath them – usually pajama bottoms or something along similar soft, drapey, drawstringed lines. Today I’m wearing a pair of jeans I found in my room this morning. I […]
I love Middle Eastern food. Today’s Link of the Day is to two recipe archives. Yum! – Middle Eastern Recipes – sudairy.com
You know how everybody “knows” that DDT is toxic to humans? That it’s a terible carcinogen? Perhaps its not. Perhaps banning DDT causes unnecessary human deaths. “In 1956, a group of human volunteers ingesting DDT for periods of from 12 to 18 months at 1,750 times the average amount for the U.S. population showed no […]
McDeb offers a gorgeous desktop wallpaper called Festive Winter. I love this wallpaper to death, I really do. Christmasy, but not so damn busy you can’t actually use it and see your desktop icons at the same time. For some reason she never made a matching Today theme for PPC out of it. So I […]
If you find that Rants just isn’t enough, and you must speak with the denizens more, you can join the goblinbox.com listserve. This lets you send and receive emails with other members; you can even get all the mail in digest form if traffic gets heavy and you prefer to. Right now the list isn’t […]
I have a cold. A basic, run-of-the-mill Fall cold. This means I’m tired, have a sore throat when I wake up in the morning, and am feeling sorry for myself. My co-worker Tim has one too, and so does his girlfriend. It also means that all I want to eat is cheese. Why is that? […]
Brownie Reflex Synchro Model We went to Rutledge on Sunday: Brett & me and Joe. Joe got way cool retro glassware and some other cool vintage stuff, and I got another old camera, a Kodak Brownie Reflex Synchro Model (mfg. from 1942-1951). I’ve already ordered film for it (custom film, apparently, since Kodak no longer […]
I was hired by Grand Orleans in Burlington to build them a web site. Before I could even find out what they wanted, I slapped up a few pages so there’d be something there while I went on vacation to the Telluride Blues ‘n Brews fest. When I got back, the guy who’d hired me […]
Sometimes, when it’s Thursday afternoon and dull and rainy out, you need a treat. I just walked across the alley to Mi-T-Mart and totally induged in an afternoon snack from hell: a Heath bar and a Starbucks Double Shot. OMFG, it’s amazing how good two-bucks-and-change can taste! Now, Double Shot is a strange tasting beverage. […]
