• News from the front

    I’ve just now discovered a reason why I should not let my children play in my bedroom; although I must admit I share some of the blame.

    It has to do with the way I lay my head to sleep… usually in an unsubtle manner. Imagine plopping your head down, expecting a soft pillow… only to find that some enterprising toddler has apparently found a new sibling-proof hiding spot for his toy cars.

    You guessed it friends. That place would be my head’s favorite place to hang out: my pillow. Or more precisely: inside my pillow case (my head likes to stay outside the pillow case – the cars were inside).

    And here I thought I was just about ready to fall asleep. No more my friend. A few ounces of die-cast metal is a pretty good alertness aid. It’s working pretty good for me.

    Here’s a fascinating collection of photos taken in Iraq:

  • Flock this

    I don’t even remember where I heard about it, but I’ve recently become addicted to a new web browser: Flock.

    It integrates several web services I use: namely WordPress (my blog host), and Flickr. It’s based on the open source code from Mozilla and Firefox… and it works just as well. Plus, it’s got a groovy news aggregator (for RSS feeds).

    It may be that I’m just a sucker for something new (and free)… but hell, we’ve got to take our good times where ever we can find them (no matter how pathetic it may seem).
