- ENG101: Analysis: A Blogger is Just a Writer With a Cooler Name I got my first paper back in my ENG101 class today. The only comment given by my teacher was, "superb," and I got a 3.9/4.0, or 95/100 -- it would have been perfect, except that I forgot to include a 'memo of self-reflection.' Oops. Still, I think I can cope with the final grade. ➡

- New camera! The day finally came when I had enough funds available to replace the camera I lost nearly a year ago. My new toy: a Canon Powershot A95. ➡
- You just can’t sing in the supermarket… What a blast. This world needs more random silliness in it from time to time, and we had a lot of fun being part of this particular bit of randomness. Much giggling and many smiles from everyone in the group and from whatever customers happened to be around in each store -- just the thing for a grey winter day in Seattle. ➡

- I love the British Less than you seem to imagine is spent on 'junkets for Bunterish lickspittles' and 'dancing whores', whilst far more than you have accounted for is allocated to, for example, 'that box-ticking facade of a university system'. ➡
- iSight issues Mike recently posted about some of the pros and cons to being the owner of an iSight — pros including the simple fact that the iSight is simply a damn good camera; cons including the Mac-only nature of iChat and the somewhat less-than-satisfactory mounting options that come stock out of the box. ➡

- The Hanscom Family Today brings the debut of a project I've been working on for the past week or so — The Hanscom Family Weblog! This is (will be) a collaborative weblog, by and for the various members of the Hanscom family. ➡
- Time to get nekkid! Here I've been doing my best to keep this weblog of mine fairly solidly PG-rated, with the occasional slip into PG-13, and now I find that if only I'd shown some skin, I might have been eligible for the First Annual Nude Weblog Awards! ➡
- Vonnegut weighs in on Iraq I myself feel that our country, for whose Constitution I fought in a just war, might as well have been invaded by Martians and body snatchers. Sometimes I wish it had been. What has happened, though, is that it has been taken over by means of the sleaziest, low-comedy, Keystone Cops-style coup detat imaginable. And those now in charge of the federal government are upper-crust C-students who know no history or geography, plus not-so-closeted white supremacists, aka Christians, and plus, most frighteningly, psychopathic personalities, or 'PPs.' ➡
