    FractalcharlieIt’s the same story the crow told me, it’s the only one he know…  Yes it’s getting on past Christmas.  If you’re thinking about sending a gift, don’t despair… my birthday is two days later.  That’s right, on 12/27 another digit clicks over on the sadly limited annometer.  It only has two digits and I’m doubting that it will click over to 00 again, Ray Kurzweil notwithstanding.

    There I was in the University Book Store, looking for some old timey 2x DVD+R.  My Sony 500UL DVD writer reads and writes any format, but the media have got out ahead of it and I need to download firmware to write on the higher speed disks.  Well, the firmware download is what it will have to be, because they didn’t have any of the disks I could use in what was a very state of the art unit a couple three years ago.

    But look left!  It wasn’t a wasted trip!  I saw David Dodd’s book on the new book rack.  The Annotated Dead Lyrics site has long been a staple.  I don’t have it bookmarked or anything, I just Google on through. 

    Got home and had a trackback from Xian, proprietor of the group deadhead blog, Uncle John’s Blog, and Radio Free Blogistan and who knows what else…  a trackback from a post that reminded me that it would be good to put my email addresses together since OBVIOUSLY I DIDN’T mean NOT personally to ask Xian the "howBlog" frage, but I did.  Not, that is.  Ask him personally.

    There are so many good people in the blogosphere, and I have a hard time keeping in touch with everyone I like and share a connection with.  Like Xian.
