I tweaked some blog settings yesterday, specifically related to email. Here’s hoping I didn’t bork things up! 🙂

That’s some pretty WTF homes this week.
One of the partners at the accounting firm where I worked had a Coca Cola-themed rec room. It was fun, but a whole house? Nope. I brought him a Coke bottle from Japan to add to his collection.
OMG. That ficlet is great!
I love the concept of Tumblr as modern commonplace book! (But then again, I also love the concept of a traditional commonplace book, which is why I’ve been keeping one for a couple of years now.)
And speaking of Tumblr… that airport cheese saga is AMAZING.
I am scared by that intarsia / fairisle combo thing. It makes sense, but I am still scared by it.
