  1. Movie Poster Floating Heads \u00ab Posterwire.com \u00ab the movie poster weblog<\/a> – This is pretty funny. (Especially since it’s my least favorite kind of poster.)<\/li>\n
  2. Wizard 101 Review<\/a> – Hmmmm. Doyce was mentioning this the other evening. An MMO that Katherine might enjoy …<\/li>\n

  7. A Fly Went By<\/a> – How do flies get away from swatters? Now we know. Plus, a tactic for nailing the buggers.<\/li>\n
  8. What’s in a name? Spam.<\/a> – People with email accounts that start with certain letters get more spam than others. <\/li>\n
  9. Gravestone motif analysis<\/a> – Just plain ol’ geeky-Net-knowledge fun.<\/li>\n
  10. McSweeney’s Internet Tendency: Footnotes, Endnotes,…<\/a> – Some words of advice to students.<\/li>\n
  11. South Carolina sheriff buys tank to conduct raids<\/a> – Someone sure seems to be compensating for something!<\/li>\n
  12. Introducing Picasa 3.0 (and big changes for Picasa…<\/a> – Which would be keen, if I wasn’t already hip-deep in other tools<\/li>\n
  13. Google Chrome<\/a> and Browsing With Google Chrome<\/a> – Yeah, I’m going to have to try this out. But I have some non-negotiables regarding some extensions I use.<\/li>\n
  14. Poisonous recipe recalled<\/a> – Yow. That makes up for all the tablespoon\/teaspoon errors I’ve everr made.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
