My favorite XKCD so far.

~~~

Okay, yes, I agree that the practicality factor is not quite as high as one would like. But, the *nifty* factor is staggeringly high for this map system one wears on one's wrist. It's from the 1920's.

Lego Kitchen stuff!

Johnathan Carroll has a great post about Paul Newman

Woo-HOO! My printer arrived yesterday (I didn't mention it here, 'cause I didn't want word getting back to the old printer) and it is fabulous. It's basically the updated version of my former printer (HP psc 1210 All In One ) and I'm very pleased with the new features, the fact that they didn't crap it up and the fact that this is the 4200. *Grin*

Install didn't go smoothly, but eventually, everything worked as it should. And *damn* but it prints quickly.

What an interesting idea. Knitting using combs/hair picks as looms.

Both Pterry's Nation and Neil's Graveyard book come out today. We pre-ordered them when we bought the printer, and as Jeff's Prime trial was still going (he canceled it, but it won't go dead till...next week, I think), they should be here by Thursday. Much with the yayness.

Today's Wikipedia picture of the day is beautiful. Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom.

I can't think of anything else. Life is chugging along, the weather is cooling nicely, the fetus is growing and having fun bouncing on my bladder, the child is learning and being a delight most of the time, Jeff and I are having a great time hanging out together when we can and maybe, someday, I'll actually go to bed, sleep all night and wake up refreshed. Stranger things have happened.

Ah! I've been looking for you but couldn't remember your LJ name. I need to replace a pendant I bought from you years and years ago and lost during a move. I see you even have some in stock. Awesome. *bookmarks*

Sadko is tingling my imagination. *contemplates* As is the comb knitting!

You really do always have great links, and it's good to see you happy. :)
