They say every picture is worth a thousand words. A thousand of my words cannot describe how bizarre-looking these outfits are, but then most of you know my feelings toward the colour pink.
Anyway, the full story is linked from the description, once you click on the photo. (Don’t be lazy, it’s [...]

my feelings on hearing the news…
Uploaded by evilcoffee.
Yesterday afternoon Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake posted that the rumours of Yahoo buying Flickr are indeed true. The forums erupted, naturally, especially FlickrCentral:
Yahoo! actually does acquire Flickr

It’s taken ages to get through all the comments, but along with the expected extremes of [...]

geeking out at the Apple store
What do you do when you’re feeling blue? Go to the Apple Store with a wad o’ cash, that’s what. Or an unused credit card. You can drop SO MUCH MONEY in there, between the different iPods, iMacs, displays, accessories, [...]

disappearing cake
David’s disappearing cake… brought home with “Lt.” intact, but I took a few swipes at it with a spoon. I want to preserve it in its current state to take with us to the hospital this evening for his mom. It’s soft cake, so she’ll be able to tackle it. David got [...]

A link to David’s entry on Multiply:
Beware the Ides of March

I didn’t want to write about it until David’s mom was well on the road to recovery. Any surgery, even the minor ones, have inherent risks, especially for the elderly. (She’s going to protest me calling her elderly, but maybe I’ll calm her down [...]
