Internet Band
Andrew introduced Colin and I to this internet band. Basically a bunch of people living in different physical locations writing songs for fun by sending sound files to each other over the internet.

Catching up on Angel
I haven’t been watching Angel, since I don’t have a t.v., but reading about a few of the recent episodes motivated me to catch myself up by reading the synopses from the last few seasons.

Hot Air Balloon
I saw a red hot air balloon drift past my office window today. I’m on the 22nd floor, so it was below me. Awesome.

How to trim your own hair
I’ve given up going to the hair-dresser, since they never seem to do what I want. I cut my hair for the first time a few months ago and it went just fine, but I thought I could use a bit more info. Consequently, I’m happy I found this site.

What Sci-Fi Fantasy Character Are You?
This site lets find out.
So far I have been John Sheridan from Babylon 5 (?) and Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek. Blah. I keep going back and changing my ambiguous answers to see what happens…
Augh. Now I’m Marcus Cole. I think the only way to be a woman is to check ‘sensitive and caring’. Let’s find out!
Okay- now, with somewhat faked results, I’m Susan Ivanova, whoever she is. Clearly I need to be watching this Babylon 5 show! :)

The Long Hair Community
For some reason I’m really grooving on this Long Hair Community site. Something about the attitude and excitement these people have. I’m really being inspired.

Lots of Maps
This learning site has a ton of neat maps. Most of them are blank so that you can learn geography by filling in the important details. Cool!

I want to make a series of maps that indicate the important scientists, natural philosophers and investigators of nature in each area.

First Personal Message- Removed
I did have my first ‘personal entry’ here, but it really wasn’t doing anything for me, so I deleted it. I thought it came across as too disjointed and probably a bit… whingy… Good experiment though.

Other people’s blogs
I’ve created a list of other people’s blogs that I like to read.
