Looks a bit small for most waists, but maybe it’s just the angle. Either way, neat idea.


I would like to know more about this. Amazing.


Tonight, at midnight, I’m launching my first online business in years. Good ideas aren’t easy to come by, but I think I have one with this.
The premise is based off of w00t.com’s business model. One item, once a day, one low price. However, with Daily Dia, it’ll only be diamond jewelry.
Tonight we’ll showcase our first [...]

Why do raisins & prunes have distinct names from the fruits they’re dehydrated from- while apples, strawberries & such get a simple dried prefix? Why can’t dried apples be alups and dried strawberries [...]


I just left the dinner table where I listened to two of my nieces go back and forth like neurotic squirrels. One is 13, the other is 11 and they share many interests & circle of friends. I watched my third niece (13) sit quietly and roll her eyes on occasion at some of the [...]


Safe Saw

Ever since I saw this a few years ago I loved it, especially with my father losing his finger to a saw.

I finally found the video on how it works.


According to the extremely credible Invest Iraq Dinar, a leader in web tracking statistics /sarcasm, my site ranks as the 87,506th most popular website on the internet. Just below shootingfish.net and just above puritansex.com.

Caturday

27Jan08

A few cat finds that made me smile.


“I have doubts that are footholds for those coming for me.“


I can’t verify all the statistics, but they just feel right.


HTMhell

26Jan08

No wonder the war has gone on so long. Someone forgot to close the tag. Stupid, government programmers.


I KNOW THIS GUY! Sorta.
Seriously, I’ve seen some clips from the show and it’s going to be worth watching/TiVO’ing/downloading. Keep an eye out for it.


Sad, but true, for many Americans.



Snapshot Night

“I took a picture when I heard the voices in my head. I still can’t see them.“

Imperfectly Me

Shoeless Coach

25Jan08

Ron Hunter wants to do something that has never been done before.
So on Jan. 24 Hunter, head coach at IUPUI, will coach against Oakland (Mich.) in his bare feet.
No socks, no shoes, just his bare feet.
Hunter wants to collect 40,000 pairs of shoes, the number in honor of the 40th anniversary of the death of [...]


Sans Gangland

Nothing like being the only white person in the ghetto AND painting over gang markings. I was looking over my shoulder at every car that drove slowly behind me.


The Eyes

“It wasn’t her words. It was what she didn’t say.“


The president and CEO of Formula One racing, discussing racer Danica Patrick, said that “Women should be dressed in white like all the other domestic appliances.”


Allison, of That’s What She Blogged fame, has a great list entitled 10 Random Facts (go read it… after you read mine ) It’s inspired me to make such a list of my quirks & experiences.
Here we go, in no particular order (OMG, A RANDOMLY ORDERED LIST OF RANDOM DETAILS, NUMBERED AS A [...]
