Well, yesterday was quite a day. Guys working on the house, me reorganizing big chunks of the website (more on that later), a meeting that was rescheduled so I couldn’t go to it, some work, then a tour of the U of M’s main steam plant, home to see how the work had gone, dinner, then out for beers with Bill. A fun day, and I hope I get around to writing about bits of it in more detail.
As for this morning, last night’s beers slowed me down, but so did a bunch of other little things. Nothing I want to talk about at the moment, but I’m awfully glad there’s a long weekend just around the corner (it started last night for a lot of people, from what I could see). I’m planning on at least one day of complete couch-potatodom over the weekend, and maybe more.
- As I mentioned, I finally finished the project to partially rework the archives that I started last month. The latest update is in About Dave’s Picks, and as always, if something breaks, shoot me a note. These changes, by themself, don’t really get me toward having all the features I want to around here, but it was a really valuable exercise for me nonetheless. I got the organization that’s visible to the outside world a little closer to where I think it should be, and that’s nice. But the most valuable thing to me is that I changed where every single bit of content of the blog portion of this site lives, and as far as I know, broke nothing.
- The Brand of Sky Blue Waters talks a lot more about the effect the Hamm’s Bear had on my generation of kids in Minnesota. [lileks]
- Speaking of beer, a study says Alcohol lowers men’s restraint more than women’s. Damn. No wonder cute chicks so seldom have a problem getting me drunk and taking advantage of me. [daily]
- Says here T&A not off-limits for TSA: Women, too, face hands-on security. So if you’re flying, expect to be groped. But hey, it’ll make you safer, right? [fark!]
