My cell phone rang.
I went to answer it, but I couldn't read it. At first, I thought the screen was upside-down, but when I rotated the phone, the screen was backwards! It was flipped and reversed. After the phone call, I powercycled the device (by removing the battery) and it's fine now.
Wierd.
But yes, I'm posting again!
I've been sick since June 29^th with a cold and as typical with me, when I get a cold, I get a cold. Almost two weeks with gallons of snot, sleep, liquids and Vitamin C and I'm finally better.
And even had I been posting, it would mostly have consited of entries looking much like “Still sick. Gallons of snot. Tired. Going back go sleep.”
Though between bouts of unconscienceness, I did manage to collect a few links I wanted to throw out, so here they are, in no particular order:
Via Instapundit [1] comes The Energy Family [2], a blog about a family trying to convert their house to run entirely off the grid.
Also via Instapundit [3] comes this report about the lack of tornadoes in Nebraska and Kansas this year [4] (well, at least until the fifth of July). This year we've only had one tropical storm so far, unlike last year [5] when at this time we were at two tropical storms and two hurricanes with a third hurricane up and coming, so maybe this year will be quiet (although, looking at the 2004 season [6] the first storm didn't form until the end of July and that was the year Florida got slammed with four storms).
Anyway.
Via Yet Another Really Great Blog [7] comes … this [8] … and really, I don't want to spoil the fun, but if you like Star Trek and Star Wars, then you should get a kick out of the video (and please, do watch it through the end, it's very amusing—it's got dancing Stormtroopers for crying out loud!).
And finally, via Michael Duff [9] is this David Hasselhoff video [10] (amusing in as far as it stars his old TV (Television) partner KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) [11]).
I did mention I was sick, right?
With a cold.
Okay.
(Amusingly enough, my boss Smirk called me up to inform me that I had been neglecting my duty and not updating The Boston Diaries [12] often enough, so get on it, pronto! And to think, most people are worried about being fired for blogging [13], not for lack of blogging … )
