Even More Homey Links!

Friday Fun Links for the Domestics

Friday, February 9, 2007

So, today, my Friday Fun Links have a theme. I’m not sure if it was the cleaning this week or what, but I’ve been feeling very, well, um, “domestic”. So, my fun links this week pretty much all have to do with things around the house, or housing itself. Okay, so let’s start from the [...]

Ah…..

Friday, February 2, 2007

Okay, these are all crazy links that almost have a theme. Well, if you count that I found them all amusing, I guess that could be a theme. Hey, at least they’re funny! First, there’s chicks noodling. Now, if you aren’t familiar with noodling, that’d be bare-handed catfish fishing. No rod or reel, just you [...]

Red Herring Collection, Vol. 3

Friday, January 26, 2007

Okay, there is no theme to this at all. Well, I guess, links I saw this week that made me scratch my head could be a theme, but, whatever… First, as many of us are thinking about our taxes and how to pay less of them to the government, this story from MSN about the [...]

Assorted Friday Fun Links

Friday, January 19, 2007

Okay, so, once again, my thoughts are scattered, and my links are, too. First, there’s a link to an article on Australian IT that makes me glad I don’t live in Singapre when I was teaching my parents about bandwidth theft. Apparently, a nosy neighbor turned a kid in and now, he’s been sentenced for [...]
