The Wikipedia Trail

Concept: I spend way to much time on Wikipedia looking up random shit. It all starts out innocently enough, only to get out of hand.

Rules: Start either at the Wikipedia home page, or look up something on which information is needed (via Firefox's search bar, for instance). Document the pages visited via direct links or stimulated curiousity.

All in all, a busy day for my ears.

[Note: photo blog still forthcoming. I can't manage to remember to take a whole days worth of pictures. I either forget halfway through the day, or remember after half the day has gone by.]

blogs, and such.

Check out Shane's photoblog. He's a smart, interesting dude- not to mention a great photographer.

In that spirit, I'm making a "Day in the Life" photoblog entry for myself. Unlike Shane's, mine should be completely boring and filled with really bad phone-camera photos. Get Psyched! I am.

old age... or not.

The other day Dawn revealed to me that I am actually a year younger than I thought. Seriously. I don't know why I thought this, but I did, and it was really depressing me. But, thanks to Dawn, I have gained a year of my life back. I was very relieved to learn this, as you might imagine.

And I need to buy a suit this weekend- which is probably not going to be fun, as I am far too picky, and will just end up bored and frustrated and suitless.
