    • Christmas 2012 Wishlist Dad asked me to post my Christmas wish list, so here I go. As usual, what follows is links to four separate Amazon wish lists, as my occasional OCD tendencies mean I categorize my greed.

    • Close the Washington Monument ''Terrorism isn't a crime against people or property.

But when we refuse to be terrorized, when we're indomitable in the face of terror, the terrorists fail -- even if their attacks succeed.'' ➡
    • The Proverbial Sausage Factory This is a fascinating look at a trial from a juror's perspective: hearing the evidence, trying to balance all the factors and evidence in coming to a decision, and watching the legal system at work.

    • Dead Milkmen tour diaries How very, very cool. Dean Clean, drummer for the Dead Milkmen, is posting his tour diaries from the band's first days of touring back in 1985. ➡
    • Amazon linking techniques According to onfocus, Amazon has changed the way they link to wishlists, breaking current wishlist links in the process…later in the comments, an interesting tidbit of information was posted…and all this reminded me of an important note from Jason Kottke regarding linking to items on Amazon with your Amazon Associates ID. ➡
    • 2003 Weblog Awards Wizbang has opened up nominations for the 2003 Weblog Awards. In an uncharacteristic fit of self-aggrandizement, I went ahead and nominated this site for Best Looking Blog. ➡

    • I’m back I had an absolutely wonderful and very relaxing Thanksgiving weekend with Prairie and her family. Details and pictures will be up later on, probably this evening. ➡
