The Big DumpTruck

Oh ya! Friend of the Dump “Rick” sent a link to free typewriter fonts. How I love fonts. I love typewriters. On my Mac (a million or so years ago, when it was my only ‘puter) I had a utility that made a typewriter sound for every keystroke. A memory hog, but I loved it.

In college I was the only person who could fall asleep to the sound of my roommate typing.

Ah, this is the kind of fun news I like to read on a Sunday evening. Yahoo! News – Cheney: Attacks Almost a ‘Certainty’. I would prefer there to not be any attacks, thank you. I don’t have my bomb shelter built.

You know, it did occur to me when I was working in Boston two weeks ago that being in the financial district of a big city made me feel more target-like. I actually looked at the little exit chart to see where stairs were. I don’t normally do that, but I also don’t normally work in a high rise on State Street. I feel quite a bit safer now that I’m in Worcester.

According to my best sense of time and space, it’s May 18th today. Anyone wanna guess what it’s doing outside right now? I’ll give you a hint:

Rain, and 48 degrees. Actually, freezing rain and hail. Great fun. I’m sooooo excited. I was going to go pick out some geraniums (maybe two plants) and some pansies but I don’t want to have to have them in the house. I guess I’ll go out next week some time.

Looks like James Lileks did a redesign. Man, I love this guy. I have a couple of his books on my wish list at Amazon. I already own two, but that just isn’t enough.

Go here, but I warn you, if you aren’t supposed to be surfing the net, do NOT read the Intitute of Official Cheer at work. I pulled something trying not to laugh out loud, and finally sent the URL to all my coworkers so I wouldn’t be the only one laughing.

Oh, and while I’m thinking about it, have you been to the daily probe lately? If not, check out this list of new Star Wars characters…
