Of all the reasons to be late to work

...being late because your kids suddenly insisted on extra hugs is really one of the best reasons.

The Web is a neat place

In an attempt to figure out something else I stumbled across Pixdaus. This appears to be kind of an inverse flikr - instead of everyone having a photo stream, everyone posts pics to one common stream. There appears to be some kind of voting system, but meh who cares about voting. I just want to look at the pretties.

The site's guidelines ask for "no erotics" and I didn't see anything overtly explicit in the page I scanned, but there was one of a likely naked woman and one of a woman wearing a see-through top and clearly no bra. The photos are generally good to very good with a couple really stunning shots.

Boy do they need some kind of editing on their tag system. At least the new postings aren't defaced...

In the season of forgiveness

Emma Bull (coffeeem) put this on her LJ. It's so very true of me that I asked her permission to reuse it. She agreed, so here goes, with slight modifications:

I like it when someone agrees with me, when someone laughs at my jokes, or thinks something I said was smart. When they say so, I get a nice little jolt of satisfaction.

When I think someone else has made a wise observation or a good joke, or put something particularly well, I sometimes take the moment to say, "Oh, well done." To agree or laugh or admire. But sometimes I jump right past that to add to it.

I mean it as a compliment: "That was so good I want to be a part of it." But at best, it looks as if I didn't notice how good the original statement was. At worst, it looks like attempted one-upmanship: "Oh, I can be smarter/funnier/more articulate than that."

If I've done this to you, I am sincerely sorry and I hope you'll forgive the offense I've given. I will try harder not to do this any more.
