Disconcerting juxtaposition of the day

I’m listening to an audio book right now. It’s P.G.Wodehouse’s “The Cat Burglars”. I’ve never actually read a Jeeves and Wooster book before, and I’m enjoying this one. But the narrator sounds disconcertingly like my ex-mother-in-law, in spite of the difference in genders. It’s a little bit jarring.

New look for my laptop

Ok, I stole the whole idea (as well as the faux Art Deco logo) from Andy, but I really like how this came out

paulart/DSCN1232 The only problem is that the Apple logo didn’t turn out very well. The one Andy sent me didn’t print all that well so I had to resize it, and that gave it some jaggies. I’d do my own, but I don’t feel like paying $25 for the Anna font for one job. Fortunately or unfortunately, I didn’t get it stuck down too well, so if I need to change it later it probably won’t be hard to do.

Cool picture otd

I love the Kodak Perigrine Falcon Cam. This picture today really caught my eye. Not sure how it happened.

Note: Originally I had did this picture using something cut and pasted from Shaky’s Unofficial Perigrine Falcon Cam Archive. But the thumbnail didn’t work right. The wierd thing was it did work if I cut and pasted the URL into my browser, or if I saved the whole page as HTML and opened that in my browser. Have a look:
