Okay, that’s day TWO of incessant color switching. I’m sorry. I really couldn’t be sorrier. If you were attempting to read this mess today or yesterday, it was, well, a mess. But it’s not as chaotically messy and colorific now, and it IS back to the same incoherent and inconsequential level of writing as before. I await your golf claps. We all have to start somewhere. Somewhere in the crapper.

It’s a glamorous world in the travel biz. So far today a gentleman yelled at one of the agents here because his flight was cancelled due to weather. He apparently expected her to re-open the flight, de-ice all the equipment, and clear the runways for him, personally… a rather Godlike task, and unlikely to be accomplished anytime this milennium. What’s going on in my corner of the globe today? Let’s go see:

The links to books and music on Amazon are not working right – they’re floating the book/CD cover image with the title and price, but the link to their page on Amazon is busted. It’ll be fixed tonight after work. Echh. Work. Edited to add: Holy crap, I fixed them. Today’s date: May 29th

I am such a newbie. It’s taken me four hours of fussing just to change a few colors around… and now that it’s done, it bears a strong resemblance to one of the color schemes I use on my work computer. Back when I was just an AOL nerd and I’d be cracking on typing and cutting and pasting, I’d occasionally get this humorous error when Windows 3.0 and AOL… um… 3? 4? didn’t play well. I’d copy text, get set to paste in an IM, and nothing would appear in the target window except a forlorn little “pleH.” I…

Dave’s Place – Hex Color Chart Okay. I’ve been dinking around for days looking at color charts. It’s time to hike up my pants and wade in.

Liberal talk network lands Chicago outlet Heh. This brought an Evil Chuckle to my lips: “Franken, who has established himself as one of the country’s leading conservative-bashers, said: “My first priority is to get sued by a right-wing jerk in order to generate interest in my new show, ‘The O’Franken Factor.’ Our hope is to do drug-free talk radio, although I understand it’s never been done. :(I don’t know WHAT he means. Or who. Nope.) “Quite simply, my plan is to alter the political landscape, drive this radical right-wing president from office and stand as a beacon for ordinary Americans…

Playing Now: Kodo: Mondo Head Oh, this is very cool – Jemima’s blog demos, including Moveable Color OOoooh. Pretty colors. I’m hoping to get some sort of 3 column action going with a sideblog on the left…with the bookshelf/CD collection (maybe with different categories for same). ::pondering:: Another Cool Discovery (Old News for the Old Hands, I Know) What’s this Lorem Ipsum stuff? I… I love this. This is way cooler than I could ever have imagined.

“Here’s a Health to the Company,” The Chieftains: Celebration Well, here’s to us all. The beermaking kit finally arrived (actually, it had to be reordered, the original was lost by the Tibetan Postal Service) In looking over the instructions, they seem pretty straightforward, so we probably won’t kill anybody with our first batch. And Scott, the engineer-boot wearing bass from church, has offered his able assistance with “getting the baby’s head wet.” He brought over some of his own homebrew last summer, most of which was quite, quite tasty. Me, I’m hoping eventually for a batch of Black Raspberry Hefeweissen,…

What’s On the AOL Tuner: Andreas Vollenweider: Cosmopoly That’s nice, hadn’t heard any of old Andreas’ music in a long time. I used to listen to one of his first albums a lot years ago in Seattle. They were talking on ::NPR this morning about it being the 40th anniversary of the Surgeon General’s report that advised us all that smoking is bad for us. I wonder if incense counts as second-hand smoke? It sure set off the sniffling and coughing, and it makes my throat tight – not a good thing if you’re trying to sing.
