I want a bath tub large enough for a decent sized adult male to fit in for a good soak.

James Armistead

The shocking thing is I’d never heard of him. Shouldn’t every kid learn about someone that impressive and important in history in school? Oh wait, I went to public schools…

The Trouble With Plans

Is that mine change every time someone makes a new demand or has a new priority for me to follow.

LinkedIn

Good NYT article on LinkedIn.

Theme Change

I’ve tentatively changed themes, which is both to look better and to have widgets enabled for easier management of the sidebar. I still have to put back Site Meter and organize things, but so far so good.

RIP Bo Diddley

Guitarist Bo Diddley dead at 79. I think he was right about the financial rewards passing him by, but it’s ever so with pioneers. For a time, he wasn’t even as famous as he should have been. I’d only barely heard of him before the Bo Jackson commercials.

Plunging Right Along

Solidly 259 this morning. That’s 49 off peak and 39 this year. I might have been in the 250-something range at some point when I first met Deb, but for the most part I’ve been above that for several years. No wonder I can see it in my face. It’s nothing [...]

It’s Nanny.gov’s Fault

The whole van thing could be blamed on the government. We didn’t need an extra “seat” after all, but an extra seat that would hold a car seat. When I was a kid, three would sit in the back seat of a car like the Sentra just fine. Hooray for nanny.gov. [...]

Tax Stuff

Working on tax stuff this weekend, so I won’t have much time for more work on this or for other projects. Former partner needs K-1 before Wednesday, and I need income number for last year, which looks to be lower than I’d thought.

Success

That was easy, adding Twitter Tools plugin to show tweets as posts. Now I’ll have to add some original posts here too. They are intended to be brief, little more than off the cuff remarks or links that don’t call for much elaboration, or links to stuff posted elsewhere.

FWIW I am using Twitter Tools at http://solojay.com/ to show all tweets as posts. Other posts won’t be reflected here, but it’s an option.

Hey, that’s pretty cool. Titles are weird b/c they are truncations of the tweets, but it is what it is. Which always reminds me of A is A.

Guess it’s time to entertain baby lurking on office floor.

Fascinated to see half the Craigslist responses were spam filtered by Gmail and those seem to be the scam-smelling responses.

Had a crazy dream centered around a mall and restaurant. Wish I could remember more. I seem to have a stock mall for dreams now.

Cloistering over tax stuff this weekend, if I can. Also gotta take Val to see my mother & grandmother for more b’day cake with them.

@chrisod That was one of the things we took into account. I think we managed, despite Henry’s initials being HAE. He could answer to "hey!"
