Jul. 3rd, 2002 09:56 amI have the 4th and 5th off from work... I have to call Newtie's doctor and let him know about our change of address.
Cut the heel and the top of my left foot during walkies... twisted my foot in a funny way... surface scrapes, but they're going to be tricky heals. Gauze and tape it is, and maybe *gasp* shoes with socks?
Friday might be the day to swing by the bicycle shop.
Reading enthusiasts across the globe have taken to leaving books laying around in public with a web address inside. The idea is that whoever picks up the book may find it a good read, register the book's current location on the website, then leave it out to begin the cycle anew. A pretty cool idea, if you ask me, and much in the flavor of tracking George Washington - and to think it was all made possible by helium balloon technology, although sadly the romance of the message in a balloon has cynically given way to email indistinguishable from spam.

Newtcam is on, and pointing at his foodies today.

Date: 2002-07-03 10:22 am (UTC)Great idea on the books. Reminded me of the "wheresgeorge" thing that was so popular last year. If you got a dollar bill that had "www.wheresgeorge.com" printed on it, you were supposed to go to the web site and register the serial number and location of the bill. Then you could see a report of where the bill had been before you got it. When I worked at the bank I saw thousands of them.
