1. My website, Slightly Obsessed Studio, is under construction as we switch hosts and change the underlying structure. This is all towards the ultimate goal of getting webcomic hosting ability up and in some format I can easily use. Without learning PHP or CSS or anything. I quite like the website design company with which I am working, and have high hopes for the finished site.
2. Zune Marketplace had a playlist available for download, called “Old School to New School.” It is, in fact, punk rock. There is something in me that will forever grin like a speed-addicted lunatic at the opening of “Anarchy in the U.K.”
3. SMS tweets regarding the tornadoes and storms last night are finally trickling through to Twitter. This is less than optimal. I do hope Twitter has recovered from the weekend’s crippling DOS attacks. I use Twitter. I mean, sure, I also talk about how boring work is, etc, like everyone else. But I use it to convey information to specific people, to request updates, to alert people to items of interest. Like, “Storm past our house, no tornadoes here.” My friends, and my mother, would like to receive such notifications in a timely manner.
4. My family has finalized — for now — their plans to go see the space shuttle launch in two weeks. I say “for now” because NASA could move the date of the launch. But they have procured a hotel, and airline tickets, and are going. While they are gone I plan to see movies. In the theater. Mmmm, movies. I might spend *all of that Wednesday* watching movies, with breaks to nip home and let the dogs out periodically. I bet I could see three films.
