1,000
I had two blog entries way back on January 1, 2006. The day before that, December 31, 2005, there is no entry. In the 1,000 days that have passed since, I have had, as of today, 1,000 consecutive days of blog entries. This entry is my 2,962nd blog entry since that date, which means nearly 3 entries [...]
Special day!
Tomorrow is a special day for this blog. Stay-tuned for just why it is so special…
Still catching up
I’ve still got catching up to do from the weekend, but work is incredibly busy at the moment, so I likely won’t get to the back-posts until tonight. The trip to NJ and NY was great, as was my last game at Yankee stadium. I’ll have more to say later.
The wedding shower weekend
What with all of the guests and visitors and activities this weekend, there was simply no time to post in “real time”. This morning, I’ve posted 3 backdated posts that cover the entire weekend: Friday Saturday Sunday Up at 6:40 this morning. Took Kelly into work and then took my to the airport. Kelly heard [...]
Backdated weekend posts
Due to my lack of Internet access until the 28th (or so), I made two backdated posts (here and here) for this weekend. For those of you who typically follow along on your Friends page, you’ll have to view these posts from the links above.
Banning Wikipedia (for rmstraus)
Yesterday, Ken Jennings had an blog post about how schools are starting to ban wikipedia use. He makes some good points. I agree with them and reiterate them here with some of my own thoughts added. Ken points out that this is really nothing new. Teachers have been telling students not to use the encyclopedia [...]
Yes, updates are coming!
I’ve been inundated with inquiries as to why I haven’t kept the blog up-to-date over the weekend. My only excuse is that it has been an extremely fun weekend, one that I got to spend time with good friends and when it comes to spending time with good friends, and keep the blog up-to-date, spending [...]
Today’s Dilbert Blog
If nothing else, today’s Dilbert Blog has the kind of humor that is right up strausmouse‘s alley. No pun intended. When you read the post, you’ll understand why.
I love the new LJ comment-editing feature!
As strausmouse will attest to, I make typos in comments all the time, and I hate having to delete them and re-add them. I love the fact that I can edit my comments without having to redo the whole thing. Great feature LJ developers!
It’s Friday!
I was in bed at 6:45 PM last night. I watched a few episodes of M*A*S*H and then was out cold. I guess I’d been pretty tired. Up at 5:30 this morning so I got a decent night’s sleep. It’s been a busy day here. But for the 5th day in a row, I did [...]
If you pee standing up…?
Those of you with little kids will probably get an extra special kick out of the logic behind Ken Jenning’s son’s question that Ken posted on his blog today. It’s very Michael Scott-esque.
