Egads! Snow!


Without regard for the calendar, Winter moved into NYC last night, bringing snow with it. And along with sub-freezing temperatures all week, we're supposed to get a real storm tomorrow night into Tuesday. Oh joy. NOT.

I wouldn't mind the snow so much if the sun was out, glinting off the flakes, which makes for nice photos. But it's just gray and dreary out there. As usual, this is the view from the den window. I doubt I'll be getting sunset photos tonight.

Okay, here's a reason to get jazzed about stamp collecting. Via Boing Boing, we have the lineup for next year's US commemorative stamps, and DC Comics Superheroes are among the 2006 issues! Now I need to figure out how many sets I want. And yet, part of me is thinking, this has to be a trick or a hoax, because they wouldn't do something this cool. But then I remind myself that I just got the Muppets stamps, so yeah, maybe they really are. Will Marvel Comics be far behind, maybe for '07?

Here's a fun quiz: Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer? I got 9 of 10 correct.

Feeling: Yeah, I redid them all last night (well, most of them, and added some). Older ones that needed borders got them, some got recolored, and some like this one got totally redone. And I made some new ones with Create Your Own Avatar. It's still one of the few sites I've found that lets you create expressive avatars and save them (which here you do by making screen caps).

    Cool view there. One of the few things I don't miss about Fort Wayne is the weather--the snow and ice that covers sidewalks and streets. But it's still neat for me to see it!
