100 Pounds of Dynamite

I just signed up for LibraryThing last night. It was exactly what I was looking for. I’ve got a bunch of books on my “to-read” queue and I wanted a way to track them. LibraryThing allows that and so much more. You can add books easily through a bulk upload from your amazon purchase history, share books with friends and see who you’re related to via common books. (Its very much a last.fm for books…)

I’ve added a widget in the sidebar with my “to read” books and here is another version below:

Just found out about fd’s Flickr Toys. Fun site that lets you make nametags, ‘motivational’ posters, calendars, and a bunch more out of your flickr pics.

Here is an attempt at humo(u)r using the nametag tool:

I just heard about Hugo Chavez’s demand that the Venezuela time zone be changed from GMT -4 to GMT -4.5.

CARACAS (Reuters) - President Hugo Chavez wants Venezuelan clocks turned back half an hour and he wants it done in record time — next Monday.

“I don’t care if they call me crazy, the new time will go ahead, let them call me whatever they want,” Chavez said on his weekly TV show. “I’m not to blame. I received a recommendation and said I liked the idea.”

The shift will allow children to wake up for school in daylight instead of before sunrise, Chavez said.

I also just saw the movie Bananas (for the first time as an adult) this weekend. This story reminded me of one of the scenes:

Esposito: From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now… 16 years old!

Fielding Mellish: What’s the Spanish word for straitjacket?

I took this the other day when I was making some juice in the morning.

It was completely accidental — The result of moving something that was dripping to the drying rack. I’m not sure why I find it so pretty, but I do.

I’ve been ill the last few days. Some kind of sinus infection that has been passed around the RTP area it seems. Still not feeling well I’ve had the chance to watch about a season and a half of old Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes.

As a result I’ve come to the realization that I am, perhaps, MUCH more like Larry David (or at least the character he plays) than I had ever expected. I’ve gotten that comment off hand somewhere, but 15 or so back-to-back episodes have clinched it.

I’ve got season 3 on the way. Lets see if my neuroses are still founded after that
