Seeds of Wisdom: "One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people." -- George Carlin
Figures - just when I have a bunch of things to post, Blogger is down for maintanence. Oh well, hopefully, I'll get to post this today
I've added a new link - Trout Thursday - and a new blog - ADropintheOcean. Both sites are by Dieter Limeback whose father posts on the Evolt web design list (if you're in web design, you should be on this list!). Not only is the content of both sites worth reading - funny stuff here - the design is clean, well-organized and just plain great.
Dieter writes, "My domain name is also my first name. If you came here looking to get thinner, sorry." That's just an example of what you will find there. I don't know about you, but I plan to celebrate the next Trout Thursday - January 30, 2003
Be alert! The world needs more lerts!
Check out this fun waste of time - CatGame. Too bad the creator doesn't know how to spell.
People, people - I know the English language is difficult. We have rules, but break them regularly. We're in consistent and arbitrary. But we all went to school. We learned spelling - please reach back and remember what you learned.
Lose - one "O" is when you don't win. Loose - two "Os" is when you're hanging free. Just remember when you "lose," you also lose one "O." Okay? Can we do that please, so I can stop hearing those fingernails run down the blackboard? TIA
Lots of Bloggers blogging about blogging and metablogging - BurningBird, Jonathon and some others. Reading through these blogging about blogging posts, I was reminded of an old tongue-twister rhyme we used to say as children:
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood.
Inspired, a wrote a Blog version:
How many blogs would a blogchic blog if a blogchic could blog this?
A blogchic would blog all the blogs she could blog if a blogchic could this.
Hey what do you want from me - it was early in the morning!
Just heard a story on the Today show about a woman in Texas who struck a man with her car. The man was lodged in her windshield, yet she continued to drive to her home. Once there, she pulled the car into the garage and left the man there until he died. Unbelievable!
The WFAA website has the story if you want the whole thing. So does this site (I wrote this in the am, now I understand the story is all over the web.)
Katie Couric interviewed her lawyer. He claims that the man was only in the garage for 24 hours, not 3 days as the police have claimed the woman told them. Huh?? Like that matters. She drove home with a man lodged in her windshield, then left him in her garage! Does it matter whether he was there one hour or 3 days. The act in itself is mind boggling!
Her lawyer also claims that she was distraught and that she is fragile. Hello - what about the poor man bleeding to death with two broken legs and his head stuck in a windshield.
The police report also claims she was high on drugs and alcohol. Her lawyer says she only had a few drinks. That makes it even worse!
Even more bizarre, though the incident happened a few months ago, the police only found out about it a few days ago. It seems that the woman told someone at a party and that person called the police.
And more weirdness ... the woman allegedly called some friends while the man was still in her garage bleeding to death. These friends apparently did nothing until the man died and then they helped her dump his body in a nearby park.
What kind of people are these? Okay, I can buy that maybe the accused woman has mental problems (seems like that's where her lawyer is going with this), but what about these so-called friends? Not one of them called the police, a doctor or anyone. This whole story just boggles my mind.
