rigor mortis

Gave Allison my Tamagochi to borrow for a week. I think she was nervous about taking him, but I gave her no choice. Unfortunately I set the timer wrong, and Rigor (she named him Rigor Mortis) woke her up at 6 a.m. demanding to be fed. Allison's not exactly a morning person, so Rigor has now lived up to his name. :-( Our friend Scott is coming to visit today through Sunday, so I'm not sure how often I'll be blathering during this time. Today's site of the day: Diaries on the Web.

comdex

Forgot to mention I went to Comdex (computer conference) and got a chance to check out the newly renovated Metro Convention Centre...huge place! Bought a copy of a CGI book at the Chapters booth for 20% off. Also forgot to mention that I've written my first Babylon Five song! We'll be debuting the song at Toronto Trek (you can find us at the open filk on Saturday night). Scott and I went to the World's Biggest Bookstore yesterday (that's the name of the store, anyway, I have no idea if it really is the world's biggest bookstore anymore although I suspect the answer is no), dropped by Business Depot on the way back home. I am quite mad about office supply stores, in case any of you didn't know. Was disappointed to find out they were sold out of black Uniball Micro pens, comforted myself with a batch of padded envelopes instead (stop gagging, Allison). The Second ConCerto Report has now been expanded to include Part 2! Today's Site: Search For Lyrics.

frisbee golf

Great weekend, great weather, fun frisbee tournament. Scott won (this means I owe him a milkshake, unfortunately). Came home to find THREE of my Sea Monkeys in a "Courtship Dance". I just don't understand Sea Monkey biology, I guess. Am WAY behind in my email. Today's Site: Digital Bindery (get your favourite web pages emailed to you). Allison's finished the Concerto Report but I still have to HTMLize it; should be up later this week.

scanner

Joe Neff sent me the correct URL for the Oreo Birthday story from the Philadelphia Inquirer. The complete UT's Look At The Second ConCerto is now online, pictures coming eventually.
Hey, Jeff got me a miniature (portable) scanner at the Comdex show...it should be arriving today, woohoo! Look for more cartoons and photos...

Today's Site of the Day is

Using The Internet To Pick Up Babes and/or Hunks. Hey, guess what?
I made new friends through the Net! Also, Inkspot and Inklings now have a chat area courtesy Brian Rickman of The Writers' BBS. I'd really appreciate it if some of you could help test it out. You can either go try it out on your own or tell me when you plan on wandering over and I can meet you there. You need either a Java enabled browser or a telnet client (talker.com, port 3333). (If the first method doesn't work, try the second). On your first visit, you need make up a username and a password. In the chat area, type ".go Inklings".
