  • Gearing Up First off, thanks for all the commiseration and kind wishes I've received from everyone, whether it be via e-mail, blog/LiveJournal/Facebook comments, or Twitter. E-support is definitely still support, and it's nice to have so much! ➡

  • That’s it?!? John pointed out The Commonly Confused Words Test, so I gave it a shot. My results: Advanced -- You scored 100% Beginner, 93% Intermediate, 93% Advanced, and 61% Expert! ➡
  • TechNewsWorld commentary mention Romm pointed out a mention of me in a commentary piece on TechNewsWorld that was published a couple of weeks ago. It's a nice mention, too, as in addition to the standard 'another fired blogger' mention, the author also follows up with my reaction to the incident, and contrasts it to Ellen 'Queen of Sky' Simonetti's Bloggers' Bill of Rights campaign. ➡

  • Omoshiroi kedo, kankei ga nai Two Japanese phrases I need to remember (and possibly eventually learn to pronounce...). ➡
  • Training fun I think I can feel my brain dribbling out of my ears. ➡

  • Just Hang Up Hang up when I'm talking to you. Get off your cell phone. In fact, turn off your cell phone. Just turn it off, put it down somewhere out of reach, and pay attention to the conversation that you're already invovled in. ➡

  • DJ’ing tonight! I'm DJ'ing tonight at Studio 99, above Ariel's Hair Salon in the Northway Mall. This is an all-ages dance club -- 16 (?) and up before 1am, 18 and up until 3 am. ➡
