Return of the “Fun” Links

Friday, April 20, 2007

Okay, so my idea of fun may be changing a bit. I’ve noticed a theme in my cancer caregivers’ rhetoric lately: clean. Get clean, stay clean, avoid things that aren’t clean. Wash your hands, gargle with their special solution to keep the mouth sores away, don’t eat raw foods that might have bacteria on them. [...]

Update and Hiatus

Saturday, April 7, 2007

Okay, so you might have noticed that I missed my Friday Fun Link. There’s a good reason for that.  Mainly, it’s because I’ve got cancer and I’m in MD Anderson getting chemotherapy.  So, as lightly as I’ve been maintaining this site, it’s going to be even more lightly maintained until I’m on the mend.  I [...]

Friday Fun News

Friday, March 23, 2007

No, nothing new about my health. Just some fun/strange news stories from the past week or so. First, apparently, some political unrest in Africa is going to cause a world chocolate shortage. Yikes! (Actually, if you read the article, it’s more likely to cause prices to go up, slightly, because manufacturers have likely taken some [...]

Happy Birthday, William!

Saturday, March 17, 2007

Today is William Gibson’s Birthday! For those of you who have been hiding under a rock for the past twenty years, or have been freshly cloned, William Gibson is the primary progenitor of the cyberpunk movement. He’s generally credited with coining the term “cyberspace” and popularizing a somewhat more realistic, if somewhat bleak, view of [...]

Cancer Coloring Book?

Friday, March 16, 2007

Well, cancer seems to be on my mind this week. Go figure, right? Well, it’s been a long week and I’m tired, but I have two fun links for you regarding cancer. The first is a link to the National Children’s Cancer Society educational publication page, which includes a cancer coloring book called “Sammie’s New [...]

The Fun Keeps Coming!

Friday, March 9, 2007

You didn’t think I was going to let an unidentified mass in my lung keep me from posting some Friday Fun Links, did you?  (If that doesn’t make sense to you, go read my other blog, Diary of a Network Geek.) Of course, I queued this post up last night and I had to work [...]

Even More Homey Links!

Friday, February 16, 2007

I’m feeling very domestic this month. I’m not sure if it was the four more bags of junk I threw out last night, or the six more bags I have to donate to the Salvation Army, or just moving furnature around, but I’m really enjoying home related links this month. Maybe I’m just nesting. In [...]
