It’s the 2nd already!
No, my title doesn’t really have to do with anything… I just thought I’d use the first thing that popped to mind when I started this entry. This is pretty much a plain-vanilla blog entry, with some ramblings about books and such.

My favorite posts of 2005
Being inspired by Chris’s post about the same, I decided I’d list my favorite/best posts for 2005. These aren’t the most popular ones (I’ll cover those later), but the ones I personally think are the best. I’m not ranking them, though, other than in the date in which they appeared.

Since they were almost invariably on old posts, I finally… Continue reading Spamments

Charlie Brown: [shouting in desperation] Isn’t there anyone out there who can tell me what Christmas is all about? Linus: Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you. [walks out to center stage] Lights, please. [a spotlight shines on Linus] “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their… Continue reading Merry Christmas
My birthday is one of the "Lost" numbers…
So yeah, it’s my birthday today. Just thought I’d let everyone know. I get the day off from work, too. Score!
Happy Solstice
Happy First Day of Winter. I know I haven’t been posting here much this month, I guess it’s kind of been winding down as Christmas approaches and the year ends. On the other hand, I’ve been posting to The Brew Site every day, so that’s good—I’ve been doing a “Beer Advent Calendar” series of posts… Continue reading Happy Solstice
