Yay, go me!

I just realized that Saturday was my one-year blogiversary.

This post is my post number 661.

That's 1.81 posts of wasted time a day.

Amazing.

I am now well on my way to fame and glory.  Or something.

As I said on a cold December day, just over a year ago:  "Blogs. Never before have so many said so little to so few."

As that great pontificator of the interwebz, Strongbad, says, "Let's get this train-wreck a-rolling!"

Bacon Blogging

Incidentally, this is the first picture on my blog that was taken from my new Droid.  Fun, fun, fun...

Godspeed

Weather: -5, patchy fog.
Plane: on schedule.
Mother: leavin' on a jetplane.

Love ya, momma. We'll see you in another couple weeks.

What's a Partridge?

One of my favorite versions of the 12 days of Christmas--it varies it enough that it doesn't get so old.

In Memory of Thanksgivings Past

I give you a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a pig.



...and bacon strips, and bacon strips, and bacon strips, and bacon strips...

Quote of the Day

That’s why expectations from the new Congress must be realistic: the cavalry is riding to the rescue but the settlers may already be dead.

I was a member of the Geology Club for a while, and got on the NMA's mailing list.  I find it an interesting monthly publication, and while this quote is aimed specifically at the coal mining industry, it nicely sums up why I'm not sold on the future being bright and rosy.
