Okay - back to real entries, eh?

About a week ago, while walking home from the bus after work, I decided to do some variation of the splits on the sidewalk, in a pair of kind of slick-soled shoes. Needless to say, the road rash on my knee has healed very nicely - but my foot is another story. Still hurts like all hell, and it's all nicely swollen. :-/ So, I'm writing this entry while my foot is propped up and iced, and it's a nice little distraction from the pain. (Also a nice distraction is Advil. Lots of Advil.)


I'm officially a major-league nerd. WIRED magazine had a most excellent How-To guide in their August issue (cover geek: Stephen Colbert sawing into a video iPod), with information on how to be an expert on anything, turn your heavy-duty paper shredder into a pasta machine ... and even how to prepare for calamity. (Your insurance agent - not just me - will love you for it.) And yes, the preparing for calamity part was one of my favorites - although I loved Alton Brown's idea for the pasta machine, too.


Now, onto something more fun: my Cool Tunes recommendations. Pretty much everything listed here can be found on iTunes, or probably any other file-sharing program. And if you have any ideas/recommendations - let me know!
:-)
