Seeds of Wisdom: "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." --Robert Frost
This is just going to be a mish-mash of general stuff today. I have no coherent thoughts due to allergy season. It's a time of year I can barely keep my brain functioning. I try to avoid allergy medications because they make me drowsy and/or give me nose bleeds (more information than you wanted, I'm sure.)
To my fellow tree-related allergy sufferers, I recommend, Nasalcrom. Keeps me from getting all sneezy and totally stuffed up without feeling drowsy. It does give me a headache and the aforementioned nose bleeds though.
I read that there are more and more people suffering from tree-related allergies these days. I also read that one of the reasons is that the people responsible for planting trees in our tows, have taken to planting mostly male trees. It seems the female trees make a mess - what with their flower blossoms, and seed pods (think polly noses). The male trees, being typically male, do not directly produce tree offspring. They do however release the pollen that fertilizes the female trees. It is the pollen that irritates. Typical male behavior <g>. Thus ends the biology lesson for the day.
Everybody's doin' it, doin' it, doin' it .... writing about blogging that is. Check out the latest article on blogging at Alternet.
AlterNet.org is a project of the Independent Media Institute, a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening and supporting independent and alternative journalism. (from their "About" page) I check it out on a regular basis. Interesting stuff to be found there.
Speaking of interesting stuff ... here are a few more goodies from the Evolt chat list.
The Virtual Solar System is a really neat depiction of the solar system done on a web page. Check it out.
Also check out the Micro$oft commercial (spoof) at Idleworm. Some really fun games and movies can be found at this site.
In the "annoying songs you can't get out of your head" department. Check out the winner of the Star Wars fan films - Christmas Tauntauns. I saw this the other night on the Sci-fi channel and have been humming it ever since.
