What to talk about…

Posted on March 5, 2005 | 1 comment

So it’s been a little crazy lately. While I seems like I spent all my time in February talking about books and music, it seems all I’ve been doing lately is some of the memes that are out there (but they’re so much easier than doing a meaningful post).

Due to popular demand…

Posted on March 5, 2005 | Leave a comment

I’ve removed the psychedelic background and I’ve also softened up the colors a little.


I will be totally rearranging the background to something more themed (as I usually have) but I just haven’t had the time and probably won’t for a few more days…

Routine Scheduled Maintenance – The Thursday Threesome

Posted on March 3, 2005 | Leave a comment
Onesome: Routine— Tell us about your morning routine. Do you get up at the same time every day, or do you sometimes hit the snooze button on your alarm clock more often than you should? Do you head straight for the coffee or into the shower?
A bright light turns on automatically just before the alarm, I hit snooze a few times and get up. Turn the shower on, put some bacon on the stove and hop in the shower. Flip the bacon, get some clothes, bacon in the oven to warm and put on an egg. Grab the cellphone out of the charger, drag the podcasts that got downloaded in the night onto the iPod. Flip egg, dress, cut a slice of catelope, eat, leave. (Other than the iPod part this has been my routine for years)
Twosome: Scheduled— What’s on your schedule for the day? Do you schedule every minute or go with the flow?
I gotta go with the flow, but there are days when it’s all pre-scheduled in advance.
Threesome: Maintenance— What do you do to maintain your sanity each day in this hectic world? Do you find a little time to yourself each day and meditate, or wait until everyone’s tucked in for the night and log on to the computer or settle down with a book? Or do you run off to the gym and maintain your body while maintaining your mind?
I always need to escape work and get lunch and I generally read a book while eating. Sometimes I’ll read before bed too (but a different book, since the first one is still in the car).

Question of the Week is…

Posted on March 2, 2005 | Leave a comment
Would you enjoy it– not ‘would you’ or ‘would you not’, but ‘would you have a good time’– if you spent a month of solitude in a setting of your choice? Food, shelter, and any other physical needs would be taken care of, but you could have no contact with any other person. What would you do? What would your setting be?
I think I could and would have a good time. I would be somewhere warm, on the beach. I’d want my my computer, music, audio books and a bunch of podcasts to listen to; actually I’d probably have some regular books too. Can I have a telescope and some clear skies? I’d love internet access (high speed of course) and if it was required I could avoid two way communication (e-mail and chat etc.) but I want to be able to work on my sites. I’d need to atleast blog about not having human contact(?).

Posted on March 2, 2005 | Leave a comment
1. Are you craving anything and if so, what?
I’m craving the attention of a new romantic relationship….
2. What is the weather outside, and do you wish it would change?
Cold and snowy. Yes I wish it were sunny (and 90 degrees)
3. What two websites do you think you will go to next after you are finished here?
Probably some podcasting sites; I haven’t checked what was new lately.
4. Do you wish you were somewhere else and if so, where?
Somewhere warm. Costa Rica has been on my mind lately.
5. Do you wish you were someone else, and if so, who?
Someone else… Unless it’s someone who just won the lotto I really don’t have anyone to be anyone else.

From the Tuesday Twosome.

Free Credit Report (Legit)

Posted on March 1, 2005 | Leave a comment

CreditmapSo now every year (by law) you can get a Free Credit Report from each of the credit report companies (Equifax, Transunion and Experian). They’ve been rolling this out by zones; zone 1 got it earlier this year, 2 (the Midwest) got it today, 3 in June, 4 in September. I did mine today, I did the Transunion one (I had never done that one before). I think I liked the Equifax one the best, it seemed the most complete and understandable (IMHO). The first time I ever did one I had over a dozen open credit cards that should have been closed. The FTC has more info on-line.
