Whaddayaknow

Sun Dec 20, 2009 18:02 (UTC -5)

If I’m not blogging regularly, it could only mean one of two things: either I’m busy or I have nothing to say. Well, it could be both, but I’m simplifying things. In this case, I am havin’ a blast. I got home on Thursday night. I spent Friday night with my friends and most of Saturday with them as well. Today was a family day; my sister and I went with our parents to get a Christmas tree.

So, whaddayaknow, it’s almost Christmas. As usual, I don’t really want much stuff. I asked my parents for (i.e., bought with their credit card) a Creative Commons t-shirt. The money goes toward a good cause, and I can use my chest to advertise it. Sounds like a winning plan all around.

From the Stuff-Nobody-Cares-About Dept.: I used to use my own Update Notifier for my Greasemonkey user scripts. Almost everybody writes their own, but I’ve gotten tired of having to maintain it and figured that someone else would probably do a better job, so I’m switching to usoCheckup for my scripts. It has some interesting features that are too boring to describe here.

And hey, whaddayaknow, it’s the end of the post already.

I’ve sleepwalked before, and I’m afraid of doing it again because it’s really creepy. Case in point: sleep-emailing and other strange occurrences. (Via The Presurfer)

Watch as a woman attempts 21 accents in three videos: 1, 2, 3. She’s pretty good.

Here’s an interesting column that appeared in a UF student newspaper this semester: Social Media Emphasize Individuality. The author argues that when people we don’t know very well pour their souls out in blogs and the like, it helps us understand that they’re more than meets the eye.
