Knitting Tip: Thick Yarn

If you're swithsing from thin yarn to thicker yarn for some reason, like me, don't forget to make larger loops in your last row with thin yarn... makes life easier.

Awesome bit of goodnes from Neal Stephenson

In the Beginning, There was the Command Line (Thanks to John for the link).
Wow, nicely written and very interesting, reminding me why Neal Stephenson is quite possibly my favorite writer.
If you are interested by computers, language, religion, viral spreading, ancient Sumeria, and a whole lot of other things that he manages to weave together beautifully, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you check out Snow Crash. Also by him and also amazing is The Diamond Age. I have read these two and recommend them, but have yet to read Cryptonomicon, his third book (and I hear he has/will soon have another one out) which I heard good things about.

Blog to Check Out

Mind on Empty

Feeling empty lately... very nothing-ful. I'll be out of it soon, I guess/hope. It usually doesn't last long.
I hate feeling like this and I don't even know why I do...

TORNADO? WTF?

Apparently, a tornado very recently touched down inBERGEN COUNTY! Crazy, eh? I didn't see it, I just heard it on the radio...
