UPDATE!
'Sbeen a long time, wot?
OK, in brief:
Thanksgiving was at Uncle Chuckie's house. We had a fried turkey and a roasted turkey and a smoked turkey. All were nummy.
Christmas was in Mandeville, LA with Tommy's family. I fried a turkey, and it was nummy. We also ate a rib roast, which be'd on fire in the grill, and was also very nummy (and rare, the way I like it!)
After Christmas was at chez moi with the fam, Teel, and Tommy. We had smoked salmon, rib roast, Yorkshire pudding, horseradish, mashed taters, and PIE. It was really really really nummy.
New Year's was at Rusty and Sarah's house. There was singing and food and pictures hanging from the ceiling and me shooting people with corks and hot tubbing and me kissing lots of girls.
w00t.
Now, I'm in Woodsboro, Maryland. I helped my friend Ann (Squid Girl) move cross country to be with her family out here, and they've sorta made me their own for a little bit while I job-hunt. Ann's sister Lee (which is really confusing, lemme tell ya) is determined to find me a job. I encourage that determination. Go both Lees!
Out here, I got to feed horsies. I got to play with two different dogs, and at least three cats. I got to go to the new Smithsonian Air & Space Museum annex at the Dulles airport. (Standing underneath the Enola Gay is creepy.) I got to play with MacOS X. I also GOT TO SEE SNOW! We might have an inch or two by morning. I'm so amped about that. I'm about to go to bed, but I found something that's better than world peace, and I had to share it with the world.
Google can perform unit conversions, and simple calculations, just from the search bar. So if you're like me and have the Google toolbar (or there's one for Mozilla), you can simply type "Half a cup in pecks" and Google replies with "half (1 US cup) = 0.0134276088 US pecks".
Wow. In case anybody didn't actually know that Google is the coolest tool in the universe, I think we've put that doubt to rest. It converted any unit I could throw at it, and did simple calculations too. Absolutely brilliant feature. Go read about all the other cool things Google knows how to do.
So when can I buy some of their stock?
