Lovely days like today don’t come often enough. It was warm, pleasant, and I had time to both tinker around online and dink around outside sticking plants in to my two whiskey-barrel containers.

Father Jake Stops the World: An Ethic of Transparency Hello. My name is Terry Martin, and I am an eclectic and sometimes eccentric Episcopal priest. I'm the one in the picture not wearing purple. I would imagine that most of you recognize the gentleman standing with me. This must have been a tough step to take, as "Father Jake's Place" can be pretty rambunctious when the comment threads get longer and longer… Terry's anonymity protected him in some ways, and hindered him in others, I guess. Although I still think Brother Causticus should probably remain a mysterious figure, because he's…

This little item caught my eye: CW Blog: Irregular Blogging by Irregular Writers …: Urning Potential Evidently, the editors at the Provo Daily Herald have realized how useless online surveys are and have just whimsically started asking whatever nonsense questions pop into their heads. Here’s this week’s bizarre poll: Which statement best describes your view on cremation? ( ) Makes resurrection difficult; cremation should be avoided ( ) Cremation should be encouraged; God doesn’t care … because, of course, there are people in the United States who, after much thought, have realized that cremation is just a huge incovenience…

Boing Boing: Keyboard waffle-iron My husband David would love it if someone would send him a box of frozen QWERTY keyboard waffles. I’m sure they would be delicious and yummy and it would be fun to “type” while eating, although it would be pretty messy. I’m just sayin’. [tags]BoingBoing, waffles[/tags]

UnNews:Pastafarians celebrate National Day of ARRRRRRRRRRRR – Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia CORVALLIS, Oregon — Oregon State University (OSU) hosted the country’s largest and only congregation of Pastafarians to participate in the US government’s National Day of Prayer celebration.
