No More Excuses
Snarf: To conspicuously grab a post with a relevant number. E.g. #50 is a "Half Century," a term I borrow from cycling (the 100 mile century ride)— October 6, 2009 12:12 a.m.
40 is the New...
"Another friend gave me a gift bag and wrote on it that "40 is the new 6." Which means in a few years, I'll start wetting the bed again." Ha! Definitely good for some laffs!— October 5, 2009 11:53 p.m.

Thanks, man, I'm wondering about footnoting my footnotes, but thinking that might crash the blog servers. Oh, and, SDaniels (when you eventually read this) all those footnotes were for you.— October 5, 2009 11:46 p.m.
All Quiet on the Homefront... When Outside My Mind
Way to use that HTML, bro. Posts without HTML are like pesto without garlic--good enough, but missing the zing. Kudos. I've got to give it to you for the zen-like calm you're radiating out of that bar-top apartment, too. It ain't easy, when you're "in the suck" (as my roommate so adroitly puts it) to see the end of said suck. The aforementioned zen comes from your seeming ability to find a sense of belonging in and amidst all that suck. Like some sort of thousand-year-old guru sitting cross-legged in the middle of a monsoon and getting the joke that nobody else is hearing.— October 5, 2009 11:44 p.m.

Jasper Fforde's "Thursday Next" (which would be the name of the protagonist) books. Thursday spends a lot of time within the Book World (being within fiction itself) and she can bounce in and out of books. It's kind of weird, but interbook communication is accomplished via Footnoterphone and the characters have one sided dialogues in footnote format. It's sort of hard to explain. Good books worth reading, for sure, but I think the first is better than the second, which is better than the third, etc etc etc.— October 5, 2009 5:58 p.m.

That would be David Foster Wallace you're thinking of, Fish. I expect so, anyways, as his famous _Infinite Jest_ is a four hundred page novel with six hundred pages of notes. His "Brief Interviews With Hideous Men" is being adapted to film as the directorial debut of John Krasinski (the guy from the office who is from Waltham, MA and thereby earns my respect) and it should be pretty cool because DFW was something of a genius.— October 5, 2009 8:36 a.m.

I learned all these HTML tags writing web pages in Notebook like ten years ago. You can do an entire page that way, but it takes forever and ever an ever and ever. Before Dreamweaver, everybody had to write HTML code in notebook--sort of a Golden Age of web hacking. I don't play with that stuff anymore, but it's good to know how to make your print <small>. SD, maybe we can set up a Footnoterphone system in the blogs, a la Jasper Fforde.— October 5, 2009 8:28 a.m.

Google up some HTML tags. They're wicked simple. Even Orioles fans can use them. (it's funny because I don't do sports and he knows it)— October 5, 2009 12:16 a.m.
