Blogging’s been slow lately. And it’s not just me. There’s a bunch of the blogs I read that seem to have gone into “summer mode” too. So I guess the only solution for it is to get off (or on, I guess) my lazy butt and do some typing. I’d post a photo, but I haven’t been doing much of that lately, either.
In part, it’s been slow because I’ve had plenty of other things to keep me busy. There are the Saints, there’s yard work, and there’s catching up with the stuff I had planned to do inside the house over the winter. But a lot of it has just falled onto the long-term list. Doesn’t mean it won’t get done—just means I’m not going to worry if I don’t get to it right away. And it hasn’t really turned into full-fledged summer yet. Heck, it was just a week ago that I was griping about having to turn on the furnace again (yesterday I fired up the air conditioners). But the summer mood seems to have struck.
Thanks to the folks who responded to my Dear Lazyweb request last time. I’m working on sorting through the information, so there will probably be a more complete post about it one of these days. Just not today.
- The Blender Defender is a pretty darned cool home-protection setup. Probably most useful only if you have a cat, in which case you deserve what happens to you, but the idea could be modified… [metafilter]
- This Makita Ad appeals to the geek in me in so many different ways. Very Cool. [nack]
- The United Countries of Baseball is a fun map, put together by MLB. [metafilter]
- I don’t often point to YouTubery around here, but this Dance Off had me laughing. [sportsshooter]
- Notes about bookstores: The Seven Types of Customer is pretty funny, and the followup is worth reading, too. The articles are part of a larger set on bookstores. [metafilter]
- So I happened to be awake at the right time, and have a fairly unique name. Turns out now it’s pretty easy to find me on Facebook.
- Layers Magazine asks Why does HDR bring out the best/worst in you as a Photographer? It’s just another technique, but people who set out trying to “make HDRs” often don’t go looking for something worth taking a picture of in the first place. [nack]
