Belated Valentine’s Day greetings to my female blogging friends.
Here’s a little Heart for you. <3
First up, we’ll keep with the All Sarah-cuda February theme. (You had to know that was coming, right?):
Next, another one of all time Heart faves:
Hope you ladies had a great Valentine’s Day.
I’ll try to be a little more punctual with the gifts next year. :)
Cheers!
Whaddup my blogging buddies and all you lurkers out there?
Yea, I’m talking to you ‘OBammy. I know you hired a Big Brother to keep an eye on me. That’s OK, I’ve put him to work. See, last week we installed a new monitor at the studio for a stereoscopic effect. In 3D, even.
Dual monitors rule.
After tweaking the settings a bit, I’m ready for the session this weekend.
That was last week.
This past weekend, a good number of the family and I made the 3 1/2 hour (1 way) trek over the river and through the woods to Grandpa’s house for his 83rd birthday. Yours truly was the dedicated driver that day. Tuckered out was I, but not too much the next day to continue preparations for the zombie apocalypse.
Enter the Robo-Gardening mini adventure.
This was taken yesterday evening after completing the plot and framing. I was going to stand the timbers up for about 3 feet to mount a screen for a dog barrier but then I thought, why not use the entire thing as a column and put in some runners to try out some upside down tomatoes? I’ll let you know how that comes out.
Got some good soil in the plot today and will be planting in about 3 weeks to a month. I may start the UD tomatoes as soon as the nurseries put them out. We’ll see.
That’s what’s up in my little world. I’m hoping to get some *cough* real *cough* blogging done later in the week. You know how it is, sometimes one has to put personal bidness before blogging pleasure.
Check you later in the week.
Cheers!

Yea! I finally issued phase one of the behemoth project for comments today. If they decide to make any changes on design principles, they’re going to have an unruly robot to deal with, let me tell ya, especially after I tried to include them in the process and was brushed off. Grrrrrr.
Oh well, such is life. Today, I’m unchained…
Well, as close to here as I can be and not actually be here. This is a drive by post, really.
Work has been kicking my butt lately so I’m obviously not posting as much. I am however working on updating the US Timeline page in my spare time and yesterday added some new entries mentioned in an outstanding post over at Fuzzy Logic. I’m also working to add a few more later this evening or tomorrow. The rueful thing is, there are ever more additions to make to the list. :(
Meanwhile, my friend Steve sent me some musical pron that I just have to share. Some Rule 5 in the form of Meytal Cohen.
This chick rocks! Check it out:

Angel got jazzed up for Christmas, Ray Charles style. Good stuff there, Angel.
Chris has a few Christmas messages for us. “…this coffee cup is my Christmas gift to you“, “The Best Christmas Tip Story Ever” and “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez wish you a very Nuclear Christmas”
My good friend Steve, of Motor City Times has been hitting the Christmas music for the past week or two. Let’s see if I can find a common tag over at his place to link to them all. Hold on.
Now, I swear that I wrote that prior to going to Steve’s site. Check it out, he’s waaaay ahead of me. Great minds and all…

Joan, you are beautifully eloquent:
I’m curious. Is there some dark harm in believing in a virgin birth at that time, in that place, in those inconvenient circumstances? In believing in such a thing, am I inspired to fear and loathing, or might I share in an utterly unlikely miracle that makes me doubt my own goodness– and to look up for answers instead of around for a stone?
Also, this video, because charity begins at home and Joan asked us to share it. Visit her site for more info.
I may add on later, if time permits.
Merry Christmas, my friends and reader. May God bless you all.
Articles that caught my attention this morning. I’m just bookmarking as I read here, so no particular order. Kind of a stream of consciousness, random sampled information ingestion.
It tastes better than it sounds. Try it.
