Commerciallizing the blog

Monday, November 28th, 2005

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a sellout… but that won’t stop me from asking you to click the link in the sidebar to get to Amazon next time you order something.

We’ll not fully approved yet, but I’ll let you know all the details once I’m sure of them.

  

Doe, a Deer

Monday, November 28th, 2005  hungry

On this, the first day of buck season in Pennsylvania, it seems appropriate that I should hit a deer on the drive back to VT. It was somewhere in MA or VT, I forget where. Fortunately, it was already dead, just lying in the middle of the road. Percy took quite a jolt as we went over it, and I’m hoping there’s no rotting deer flesh stuck to the underside of the car. Otherwise, and I cross my fingers here, there seems to be no damage.

By the by, in my hometown and surrounding regions, it’s unquestioned that the elementary and secondary schools have off the Monday after Thanksgiving, because of the start of buck season. I’m putting this in the “sports” category, as I’m sure that most of my “people” would insist that it is indeed a sport.

Sometimes, you find some really funny stuff hangin’ out that you forgot about.

For instance, did y’all know that, for a price of approximately $1, you can buy your own bag of cock-flavored soup mix?

Curiously enough, closer inspection of the ingredients reveals a conspicuous absence of cock.

  

Reasons why to NOT upgrade to iTunes 6

Monday, November 28th, 2005

Hmm, okay, that probably got at least some of your attention. Anyway, for those not aware, JHymn is a slick little app that disables the DRM lock on iTunes files and thus you don’t have to go through the bother of authorizing each computer, people can listen to your purchased music,etc. Of course, my new powerbook frustratingly has v6 already installed, but I’m going to see what I can do about that.
