Gnomic Buddies

My mom adopted this little guy a few days ago. He’s standing guard outside the front door right now. (Trust me, you really don’t want to get a gnome angry, or there will be bloodshed. )

Two Days Until Zooomr Mark III Is Here!

As of this morning, Zooomr is down. That stinks, but there’s a very good reason for it. The Mark III rollout has finally begun! Zooomr was good before, but the new features sound totally awesome. (The only thing I’m still keeping my fingers crossed for is an easy print-making tool.)

Major kudos go out to Kristopher and Thomas.

Update (04/17/2007): OK, looking back, this post seems kind of stupid. It’s been a month, and Mark III still isn’t here yet. Oh well. At least the Zooomr crew seems to improved page load times a bit.

I Hate Snowplows

I know they perform a vital public service, but still, I really hate them sometimes.

A little backstory. It snowed quite a bit today. My mom and I spent about an hour cleaning the driveway off before it could turn to ice. Less then ten minutes later, a snowplow came flying by. Not only did it coat the top half of the driveway in nasty, dirty snow, it also destroyed the mailbox. (Not that it was really unexpected, this happens once or twice every winter.)

I went to move the pieces off the driveway, but I took some photos first. I’m seriously considering printing them out and mailing them to the county government.

Snow + Dogs = Fun

Meet Barclay, my rough collie. We’ve gotten a good few inches of snow, and he’s really enjoying it. Getting him to come in the house and eat his breakfast was quite a chore. It’s days like today that make me wish I had his furry coat.
