Need… more… newspaper.
Apparently Google employees had a whale of a good time with a rather large order of Silly Putty. I have to admit I’m a big fan of putty too, but I get mine from Crazy Aaron’s. Anyone want to go in for a few pounds?

Wake up America!
Greg writes an interesting bit about the discrepancy between telco and cable regulation and what it means — or at least what Lawrence Lessig thinks it means — to the future of information flow and open content on the Internet. The same spirit of innovation that fueled the Internet revolution …
Pretty slick, Slick.
As my former colleague Dave found out, it was a very messy morning indeed. Not three cars ahead of me, going over a bridge that forms an overpass over the train route near our house, some bozo decided that there was really no reason to exercise any caution due to …
Illin’.
Home sick today, blecch. This bizarre cold/sinus thing came on Monday without much warning. Medication last night didn’t prevent much except sleep, so I decided to recuperate. And no, I have nothing else interesting to post about today, just complaints about health. Join us next time for another exciting episode …
God, damn them.
The bastards are at it again in London… fire and smoke are reported in the London Underground. It appears that terrorists have struck the heart of London again. I don’t think they realize how this steels the British resolve. At least this time it appears casualties are nil. Update: Appears …
One man’s trash is another man’s trepidation.
Eleya holds our very first Garden Bazaar today. The sale of our Sundries and Trinkets, amassed over half our lifetime, will hopefully render enough Coinage to allow us to flee the drudgery of this awful domain and start a new life in America. Thus far she have collected a Grand …
Girlie-men need not apply.
I’m feeling pretty proud of myself, having fixed our powder room toilet, which over the past few months haw gradually suffered a decline in its ability to refill after flushing. I had previously replaced the stopcock assembly and checked the whole thing for leaks, but with no effect. Turns out …
The tree that thought it was a fern.
Most nights I don’t remember my dreams, which is good, because when I do, they usually don’t make any sense anyway. Every once in a while, though, there’s one that I think I need to remember, and I’ll write it down somewhere. So, as loathe as I am to begin …
Older but not yet wiser, apparently.
Data Recovery After the catastrophe, I was able to recover most of my important information. I would classify as “important” the following things: * Taxes (backed up) * Digital pictures of the kids * Web site data Unfortunately, “most” in this case means all of the top two categories, and …
Apple turnover.
Unbeknownst to me (until now), the Apple store in Evansville, Indiana, which hosted frields.com bellied-up at the end of 2004, which is why my mail there has been bouncing — and why there’s now a generic travel sales site taking up referrals from that URL. I had hoped that the …
