Happy New Year!
The sound of a bamboo flute is in my mind, and I’m in a comfortable state.

May many blessings come to you and yours in 2002, and the years that follow.

2001 has been a great year for me, much better than 2000, and leaves ’90s in the dust. (the 90’s were a poor decade for me… I’m glad they came, but I’m even more happy that they’re past.) I have high hopes and a great feeling about this coming year, and the years ahead.

Here’s a 2001 recap via google… fascinating zeitgeist.

Now they’re sending spam about spam protection services:

Dingalings…. The funny thing is that the spam protection they are offering (for $8.95, no less) is just a piece of JavaScript that splits email addresses so they cannot be gathered. Here’s the same thing for free:

<script language=”JavaScript”>
document.write(‘<a href=”mailto:’ + ‘name@’ + ‘youremail.com’ + ‘”>’ + ‘name@’ + ‘youremail.com’ + ‘</a>’);
</script>

Just replace “name” and “youremail.com” with your information and you’re good to go.

Frankensquirrel and Pig Eyeballs. I’m going to monitor this guy’s sales for a while, I think.

Back from my day’s mission of chores, the house is nicely clean, and the bed is made, covered in fresh sheets, warm from the dryer. Newt’s already perched on the pillowcase, in half-loaf position and purring. With that, and the patter of rain, I think I’ll join him in a little catnap. (Could you resist the call?)

My New years’ resolutions.

On my palmtop – 160 x 160

Laptop 1024 x 768

on any of the tvs – approx 640 x 480,( I think)

On the powermac, 800 x 600

On Big brain, (who I’m working getting up to speed on right now, dual monitor) 1600 x 1200 (on the 19″) and 1024 x 768 – (17″, #2)

On the Atari ST in the corner – 800 x 600 as well.

I’ll get back to you on my eyes, Newt’s eyes, and the binoculars.

remembering a villian for my old gaming days….Ray’s beastie.

I am Hallow’s eve, a hoarse whisper through dead trees, the dread shiver of the bumpkin. A bony rotten hand, now beckons you to stand, and fear the great Gray Pumpkin.

Buwahahaha muhuwahahaha haha yessssss.

He was just a nut. A fun looney who wore a rotting gourd on his head as a jack-o-lantern mask. (He was Linus van Pelt all grown up, mind cracked by the great pumpkin never arriving)

Off to go on midday walkies and get my errands done before my sweetheart gets home from work. Laundry, bills, and groceries.

There was no real point to this except that I’ve now stolen about a minute of your life, which I will use as fertilizer in my Dark Pumpkin Patch of Evil , and soon my tendrils will encompass the world! Bwahahahahahahaha

or not. 🙂

I’ll see you kiddies later.
