My Husky just decided to play escape-from-the-backyard-and-watch-me-run-through-the-snow-faster-than-you-without-looking-back.

NOT FUN.

Trying out userfly.com to track people’s interactions with my site. First impression: pretty impressive.

Holy saturation, @marcamos, where’d you get that sunburn in January?

Ha! Running with the Songsmith. http://tinyurl.com/8t65p7

Wow! Fresh baked chocolate walnut cookies and spicy hot chocolate courtesy of my wife was just served at my desk. OM NOM NOM NOM!!!

Congrats on the VegOut release, @blacksceva! But are you suggesting that omnivorous dining is unhealthy?

Nuts. Went for a walk in the snow with the camera, dropped lens cap somewhere along the way.

Icey Stairway Dilemma: Use the jagged rusty handrail and risk tetanus or don’t use handrail and risk near-certain slippage?

QUESTION: Do think tanks actually do anything other than author quotes for NPR stories and Thomas Friedman books?

Wonderful. It seems my Blackberry’s New Year’s resolution was to slash its usable battery life by about 75%. It’s succeeding.

Lazyweb - Anybody know where I can find any reliable statistics on PHP5 penetration vs. PHP4?

$50 more for a matte screen? The same kind that was standard before they introduced glossy? Sounds like Apple’s trying to fleece people.

You’re not actually billing your mom, now are you, @marcamos?

4 hours is “Jean De Florette” together with its sequel, “Manon of the Spring”. http://tr.im/2wyy

Watched all 4 hours of “Jean De Florette” last night. Some of the best, most unpretentious storytelling I’ve seen on film in a long time.

Sweet deal! Bought 99 Beethoven MP3s from Amazon, purportedly for $1.99. Email receipt said I was charged $0. http://tr.im/2s5d

Confession – When I need to nail 120 bpm (allegro moderato) sans metronome, the opening riff of “In My Dreams” by Dokken plays in my head.

re: last tweet – that’s a result of my misspent youth learning to play songs by hair metal bands on the guitar.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Fuggedy. Someone remind me to get both seat heaters and a steering wheel heater in my next car.
