I love Freecycle. It's an amazing community of people who give and get things that they need for free. When I left the valley in 2005, I “freecycled” (it's becoming a verb!) a lot of stuff. And, in moving back, we've gotten a lot of very useful stuff lately on freecycle - a nice grill, some varied furniture. We've also given a fair bit of stuff away. It's a great way to get things you need or want, and a great way to give away things that you don't need or want, without them going to the landfill.
One of the things I look at, on occasion, is the search terms people use to find my blog. They can be entertaining, or sometimes just plain wierd. So here are a few:
I didn't watch the Emmys, well, because I don't watch television. But due to the wonders of the web, I did see Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart do a hilarious skit at the Emmys.
Get prepared for World Jump Day. The day in less than a week, when 600,000,000 people in the Western Hemisphere are supposed to jump at the same second, and move the earth out of it's present orbit, into another one, one that is slightly larger (therefore, further from the sun, cooling the earth.)

'Nuff said. From BoingBoing.
Remember Zork? I can't even begin to think about how many hours my twenty-something self spent exploring the text-only adventure world of Zork. I loved Zork. Two friends independently sent me this hilarious post from defective yeti, which is a blog I have come across, but don't read regularly. It's hilarious. Even if you don't remember Zork, you'll still get a kick out of it. And, sadly, it's all too true.
I came across this story today. Makes you want to go hmmm ...
