AT is a riot! His Bonnaroo posts (and Rich’s) made me long for some live music.

Man, you people. I got sick of twitter before any of you started with it! [Source]

A couple of HEHs June 11, 2007 8:33 am

Well, this about describes me (via Jon). And Les just nailed it! (a must read!)

Btw, with apologies to The Blogfather, I despise HEH. It has bothered me since the first time I ever saw it used in a chatroom (which was probably IRC circa 1988). Dictionary.com gives it a definition of "a half laugh" but I have always read HEH as bemusement but almost a disrespectful, laugh of obligation like "ok, you made the effort to say it so I’ll make an effort to acknowledge you." The two links above deserve much more than a HEH!

Tis gonna be loud and the dastardly thang is a might addictive!

10 simple ways to save yourself from messing up your life May 22, 2007 7:27 am

Lifehack.org nailed it today!

  1. Stop taking so much notice of how you feel.
  2. Let go of worrying. It often makes things worse.
  3. Ease up on the internal life commentary.
  4. Take no notice of your inner critic.
  5. Give up on feeling guilty.
  6. Stop being concerned what the rest of the world says about you.
  7. Stop keeping score.
  8. Don’t be concerned that your life and career aren’t working out the way you planned.
  9. Don’t let others use you to avoid being responsible for their own decisions.
  10. Don’t worry about about your personality. You don’t really have one.

Read the details to really appreciate each one. I know I am person guilty of 8 or 9 of them and just reading the article lifted some weight off my shoulders.

Has anyone won anything on Blingo lately? April 13, 2007 1:54 pm

Our household use to average a Blingo movie ticket or iTunes gift card at least once a month. We haven’t won anything for about 3 or 4 months now. Did PCH destroy Blingo (which now claims to have $1000 Thursdays) or has it just become that popular that the odds of winning dramatically reduced?

On a side note, you can sure tell it is a Friday afternoon in the blogosphere. Comments on No Silence are dwindling down. Of course, it looks like Michael might have two simultaneous threads running. I suppose all that needs to be said has been said but I don’t believe that.

I was wondering why ancient cultures fear eclipses. Now I undestand why.
