One of the things I’ve noticed about having the office virtually to myself this week is that it’s tough to stick around if I’m not actively working on something. I’ve stalled twice during the week, waiting on an email from someone else, and both afternoons that happened, I finally gave up and headed home early. It didn’t hurt that the snow yesterday was looking like it would completely snarl rush-hour, either. So now that leaves me with a Friday where I’m still waiting on one email (maybe it’ll be there this morning, but I’m not hopeful) and I’m a couple hours short of my allotment. And there’s supposed to be more snow today, which means shovelling a bit before going to work, and again when I get home. Somehow I suspect I’m going to come up short on the forty hours for this week.
- A good profile of a Riverboat captain has the Mississippi in his soul. Bill Powell is the guy behind the Padelford excursion boats that run in the Twin Cities. If I get any out-of-town visitors in the summer, I try to find a way to get ’em onto one of the boats. It’s a cool way to see the Twin Cities. [press-patch]
- In a reversal, FCC now sees a la carte pay TV cutting prices. Apparently there were flaws in the 2004 study. [fark!]
- They’ve just started filming, but I’m already sure I’ll see They Call Me Bruce when it comes out.
B Movie Legend Bruce Campbell is mistaken for his character Ash from the Evil Dead trilogy and forced to fight real monsters in a small town in Orgeon.
How could it go wrong? [fark!] - Remember BattleChess? Lovechess, the adult Chess Game & Art of Love erotic art is similar, but with more um, grappling. Windows-only, sadly. [flutterby]
- Yesterday morning, I spent the drive to work thinking about sunrises. They can be awfully pretty if you stop to enjoy ’em.
- This week’s Photo Friday challenge is blur. Not sure if I’ll participate, but I’ll probably think about it a bit before I go looking at the other entries sometime this weekend.
