Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.
I keep meaning to write more blog entries about our Alaska cruise, but I haven’t been able to. Part of that is pure intertia – I still haven’t adapted back to local time and I keep waking up in the middle of the night and falling asleep in the day time.

It was very weird to walk out the front door this morning to see a FedEx Ground truck parked on the road, and find that it wasn’t going to us but to our neighbour. We buy so much stuff on-line that the UPS driver once joked “Here’s your daily delivery”.
What’s even weirder is to see Brad Choate misusing apostrophes. I sent him a link to Bob the Angry Flower’s Quick Guide to the Apostrophe, You Idiots, but then I realized that it doesn’t say anything about the little quirk that you never use apostrophe-s as a possessive form with the word “it”.
Oh well.
Update: Brad saw my trackback ping and changed his blog entry. So if you’re wondering what the hell I’m talking about: where it now says “is on its last leg”, it said “is on it’s last leg” when I wrote the above. Sure, it’s nice to score one on a much better writer than me once in a while, but since he fixed the error, I look like a dick for pointing out an error that isn’t there. Thus I’m taking the unprecedented (for me) step of going back and updating this entry.
Before I blog about some of the highlights of our cruise, I wanted to give a bit of an overview of the ship.

Vicki and I just got back from our Alaska cruise. I haven’t taken my film in yet (and the damn camera broke half way through), but Vicki took a lot of pictures with our digital camera. I know she’s categorizing them and captioning them and all that useful stuff, but I’ve just thrown the pictures into a Gallery.
