One last thing – it appears the Salty Vicar has gotten himself a TypePad setup, with (oh yay!) XML or RSS or whatever it’s called. So time to update my settings.

Oooooog. I don’t feel so good. I think I’ve got the beginnings of a sinus infection. I’ve been off all week and could have been decently and appropriately sick, but nooo. I’m getting sick at the beginning of the weekend, but not be sick enough to stay home from work next week. And tomorrow, we’re supposed to meet David’s parents downtown and go to the Art Institute. Sunday we’re supposed to get together with Steve and go on an early-spring photo safari to the Botanic Gardens again. And I don’t want to stay home anymore. Bleah.

I’m kind of glad I missed the fart machine, but I did get a kick out of “backwards day at the White House.” That’s “http://www.majorityreportradio.com/”, everyone, they don’t announce the URL of the weblog often enough. The comments for each day are the place to be just now, but someone named Dave at ISU started an IRC channel for easier chatting: For the IE users: irc://us.undernet.org/MajorityReport otherwise, in your IRC client /server us.undernet.org /j #MajorityReport Interesting note from the website provider, from today’s thread (601…

David’s sent his resume’ off to a major Internet company and thinks he’s got a realistic chance. We’re shooting for the moon here, but “There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;” Sorry what I said earlier about it being an outrage.

Google climbs on the outsourcing bandwagon – it’s sheer lunacy, I tell you.

Chicago Tribune | :NPR’s replacement of host Edwards met with wide criticism Yep, and there’re at least two online petition drives. One of them is SaveBobEdwards.com I’m still hoping it’s an extremely elaborate April Fools’ joke, but it doesn’t look that way.
