Happy New Year!

heThanks, whoever ordered four spanking new LaCie terabyte drives! (I'm assuming one person bought all four. What do you need that space for, mystery reader?) Thanks also to the new owners of various moderately pricey DVD collections. Our little Amazon fundraiser has now raised US $338 + the $100 Belle and I donated. Plus guestimated stuff to ship. I hope we manage to hit $1000 by Feb 1. That would be a very handsome sum.

Give generously to the charity of your choice. When you are done: if you were going to buy anyway, consider buying through our handy Amazon search box. Help those in need. Tonight I was very proud to write out a check to the Singapore Red Cross for $S850.00 (US $518.)

Cute kid pics under the fold. Ours are happy and healthy. This New Year we are grateful for that blessing.

A terrabite drive? I had no idea anyone was even making them that big. And four of them... Someone's either backing up their DVD collection or trying to take over the world.

If someone is trying to take over the world, I hereby nominate the perfectly-dressed-for-the-job Zoe to help stop them!

Happy New Year's. :-)

Oh, honey, the plate's the bit you don't eat.

  • Confused by our comment policy?

    We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
