I’ve been playing with Movable Type. I was surprised; the installation turned out to be a lot simpler than I had anticipated, given that it’s written in Perl, a language in which I have no prowess whatsoever. It appears to be rather powerful. Maybe one of these days I’ll make it my primary blog engine, […]

I’m going to miss Mr. Rogers. I didn’t think about it before, but he must have had real life neighbors, too. I wonder if any of them appreciated him properly? It makes me wish that maybe I had grown up him his neighborhood, so I could have.

I want to grow a spaghetti tree.

More snow. Growl. This time, it’s not fun to be snowed in. This time, it’s royally screwed up my entire rest-of-the-week, in which I was planning to work in Mechanicsburg, and then visit friends in Hagerstown.

I guess you were right, Uncle Bob, the harbor does freeze over occasionally.

Paulo says we have a foot of snow. My brother says it’s only 10 inches. Only my reluctance to actually go out and shovel it prevents me from knowing The Truth.

And it’s a travesty, a travesty I tell you, that CCBC doesn’t have Wi-Fi in every building on campus.

So yeah, I’ve been to school now … but only in the sense that one has been to the store, or been to the dentist in the last six months. I still haven’t actually attended anything. And in the spirit of historical clarification, that means no public, private, or college education. Should I be ashamed […]
