Yeah, it’s Green Day in America, as in “wearin’ o’ the.” The resident Irish lass on the team, who has red hair and has an Irish surname AND maiden name (and was married at Old St Pat’s, a Chicago landmark) is wearing o’ the green. Various people who aren’t Irish are a wearin’ o’ the green. Since we’re at work, nobody has started in on the pukin’ o’ the green, but it’s early yet.

The Reviews: BostonHerald.com – the Edge: Time trials: CBS’ legal drama ‘Century City’ avoids future shlock Welcome to Dullsville, er, Century City So the reviews are mixed, but David and I enjoyed it. It gets the geek crowd and the Law & Order crowd on one sofa… And hey! In the “geriatric boy band” subplot, they killed Martouf again, those bastards! At least he got to play a hot looking 72-year-old. But on the other hand, they got freakin’ Anthony Zerbe to bust a few moves at Martouf’s funeral. Now that was funny. He looked like he was having a…

Okay, why do I as a non-technogeek (I am merely the moll or sheila to a technogeek) think this is way damn cool: Testing Begins & More Info about 3.0 03.16.2004 We’re taking our first steps towards the release of Movable Type 3.0. The pre-beta version has just finished its initial two rounds of alpha testing and we’re now opening the testing to a larger audience (we’ve picked 300 random addresses from those who applied and will be adding more as time progresses). The testing that we’re conducting will not only help ensure a stable final release but will also…

Okay, so Accordion Guy made me do it. BlogPolling Voting System seems simple enough, but for a doofus like me? Actually, I’ve been asking David to set up polls for me, but it was pretty far down on the list of to-dos around here recently. So this may be the way for me to go, since I got good results from using both Blogrolling and Bloglines. Yep – that’s the Amerkin way – outsource it! Let’s give it a shot… Well, I’ve got the right style elements working, but the radio buttons don’t show up once they’ve been clicked. Hmm.…

From Yahoo News: W.House Calls on Kerry to Reveal Names of Leaders I have to admit (gah!) that they have a point. It does sound a little too much like “the lurkers support me in email.”

Obesity too widespread to go without attention Probably a good thing that there’s no accompanying picture. If there had been, this might have ended up on Leno.

There are pockets of insane sanity in Utah – some of them are served by KRCL. I ran across the station one sleepless night on a trip “home” to Utah, at a pre-David time of my life when I’d end up sleeping in my old room at Mom’s house. There was usually a moment (usually late at night) when I’d start scanning for a radio station that sounded like it wasn’t based in Utah (translation: liberal politics, flexible musical format). And so I found KRCL, which intrigued me. It’s typical for a small :NPR station in the mountain states –…
