“Sir, we can’t handle it anymore. Production has slowed to an absolute crawl. No movement in a week! There are just no workers with this strike going on. What should we do?!”
“You put your nose right back to that grind stone, damn it. That’s what you do.”
- Google Notebook - The perfect browser companion for a Post-It Note freak like me. No more coffee stained hand-written ideas. Now I simply highlight text on a web page, right click and add it to my note board or write my own. No logging in each time. No waiting. Seamless. I’ll be a Google fanboy in no time!
- Text Twist - How I’ve mananged to pack anything this week is beyond me. I’ve played so much of this game, sitting in the kitchen hunched over, that I fall asleep to word patterns dancing through my skull. As if it’s not hard enough for me to fall asleep!
- Strongbad Email #152 - The Brothers Chaps are always hilarious, but being about the interweb this made me smile just a bit wider.
- Having other friends that are homeowners - Not many guys that I’m friends with are active homeowners, so when one of my good pals joins the club it’s great. This week has seen many a minute on the phone sharing stories, easing my fears that I’m the only weirdo that feels like an idiot dealing with Adult Stuff like this.
- Smoking chips - No, not rolling up Cheetos powder and puffing it. Hickory chips for your grill. I tossed some (soaked in water first!) on the grill last night along with some chicken. I was expecting mediocre-at-best results but was pleasantly surprised. It actually yielded a distinctive and appetizing taste. Even The Wife™ liked it (and that’s huuuge).
