I got email from Wil Wheaton!!
I mean, yeah, it’s because I bought a book of his from lulu.com, but still! It’s pretty cool :-)

So I finally signed up for facebook, and I have to admit that it is uniquely addictive. My high school wasn’t very big, and it seems like just about everybody is already there. I let it get my email contacts and it found a whopping 55 matches! (I am really quite sure I don’t know that many people.)
I’ve been reading about facebook from a technical and business standpoint for years, so it was kind of weird to actually be in it. There are some things I can’t figure out, things I have to be overthinking (if facebook turns out to be as difficult for me as my short-lived affair with a mac was, I think I’ll cry), but the friend-finding stuff is pretty wild, and I especially like that you can have a conversation around any object—a status update, a photo, a new friend. The umpty-eleven views of it all are still kind of confusing, but it sure has been fun catching up with so many folks.
I saw a bunch of hits on my flickr stats for my RWVA pix, and it turns out they're from yahoo's image search. Sure enough, page 1 results are my gun pix and bunch of bikers.... Cool :-)
We are short-staffed this week so I get to answer all the phone calls at work. 99.9% of them are AT&T and the others are wrong numbers. This one was particularly amusing.
Confused Guy: Do y'all do watch repairs?
Me: No, we're a software company.
CG: Man, I don't know what is up with Yahoo. The first number they gave me was for a flooring company, and now you guys.
Me: .... Wow.
CG: Well, I've got another number. Third time's a charm, right?
Me: Good luck with that.
My very own Not Always Right episode ;-)
I only just found out about "cataloons" even though "I made you a cookie" was my introduction to lolcats.... I suppose technically this lovely kitteh isn't displaying cataloons but it's close enough for me :-)
My new favorite word, courtesy KSK (not for the easily offended).
Thanks TxB....

I always wondered how the cats got things re-haired so efficiently....
Ever wondered what your cat is looking at when they're focused on something you can't see? Apparently cat vision is subtitled....
