Microserfing
I’ve been reading Douglas Coupland’s Microserfs, and it’s making me painfully nostalgic for the days of trumpet winsock and the bbs. I remember the first time I “talked” to another live human being with my keyboard, and how exciting gopher and MU*s and surfing the World Wide Web via Lynx was. World Wide Web is…

Everything You Read Here…
…can probably be found over at bOING bOING. Unfortunately for me, my friends haven’t given me any good links lately that don’t involve flopping mammaries or bodily fluids of some kind. Nonetheless, this photo-documentary of the daily commute on the MTA is very well-done. Check it out. I’m off to get rid of approximately 75%…

Of course we waited until the last minute, so the total was about 150% higher than it should have been. Whenever I drop money on the opportunity to get into a metal coffin…

Retro Action
This morning we woke up early (for a Saturday), went by Natania’s work to pick up coffee, and hit the yard sales. It was average fare for the first forty-five minutes or so. It’s so beautiful out today, and the week has been heaven-ish, so there were a good number of yard and garage and…

Tonight I will be keeping
Tonight I will be keeping my eyes pried open with toothpicks (or strong iced coffee) in order to play bluegrass and old timey music for the Gate City. WUAG is UNC-G’s student-run station, and I have a show that runs from 11pm until 1am. Entirely too late, considering I must be awake by 7:30am for…
