    “Vampire Weekend” are THE most incongruously named band ever – no self-respecting vampire would EVER listen to these pastel-wearing boys!

    I think I’m getting FriendFeed. I missed it the first time through – kind of like Twitter. Feel free to friend me over there too!

    Trying twitter via Google Talk via Adium because Twitterrific has given up the ghost again.

    Well good in the sense of “my tweet got out” but not good in the sense of “spaz munged up its own name”

  • Thought

    Twitterrific won’t let me post anymore. Maybe it’s trying to tell me something. Oh mighty twitterati, do you know any good alternatives?

  • Crossroads Producers Killed Mary Barclay

    I hadn’t heard of Mary Barclay before stumbling across her obituary by the BBC.

    While I know nothing about her other than what I read today I can’t help thinking she’d get a good laugh from the unfortunate juxtaposition of the headline and caption in her obit:

    I’m sure it wasn’t overzealous Crossroads producers deciding to have a hit put out on the nonagenarian but that was my first thought.

  • Dick & Syl Cut The Cake

    A while ago I started collecting up all the old photo albums and shoeboxes of pictures and slides that have been stored at the back of closets with the hope of starting a scanning project to share these with family and (to a lesser extent) the world.

    I did a test scan and post to Flickr of my in-laws wedding photo:

    Sylvia and Dick - Wedding Cake

    I’m pretty happy with the scan given I was using an old scanner and didn’t pay that much attention to my settings. I did a bit of cropping and tweaked the contrast.
    And now that this photo is out there for the world to see, maybe someone can explain to me why they have a meadow full of flowers on top of their cake!
