There are four of us in the puk-green house.  One is too chicken sane to try cyclocross, one has a broken rib, and two have fleas.

I don't know how I never saw this blog before, but I've been reading through it and it's pretty hilarious.

Two days ago I found this blog:  http://www.herbivoracious.com

It's the only food blog I've ever gotten excited about; I almost want to take a year off my job and cook every recipe in this blog, and then blog about it myself.  I think blogging about a blog is much like being a suburb of a suburb, but since I grew up in an exurb that actually seems ( Read more... )

A friend turned me onto this:  http://www.openoffice.org

It's an open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, and it's free.  From a cursory inspection, it's quite similar to Word in look and feel, and it was able to open my Word documents (full of ugly equations) and understand that it needed to interact with MathType to handle the equations, which ( Read more... )

Fox 2 Detroit broadcast its morning news show from Depot Town this morning.  It was pretty cool to be able to watch TV inside, and simultaneously look out my front door to get the behind the scenes take.  Of course I also liked watching them gush about my favorite town, and to see a lot of my favorite hangouts get mentioned (or at least panned over ( Read more... )
