Remember when you bought a printer, and it came with editing software? And when you got a scanner, it came with text reading software? Now? Nothing. Just the drivers, and whatever software it has to manage your print queue, and your diagnostic stuff.
Ok, printers aren’t $400 and up any more, but throw me a bone, [...]

Worth a look, someone who does freelance writing pointed it out to me. I’m not a writer, so I don’t have personal experience with it.

Daffodil
Originally uploaded by Kibbles
After 9/11, a Dutch bulb company has been donating 500,000 bulbs a year to NYC. As of April 2007, the daffodil has been named the official flower of NYC.
For this reason I hated them.
It was similar to why people hate some lilies. It reminds them of death. I didn’t want [...]

This was Brooklyn. But here, in Iowa, IT SNOWED. Yes, it SNOWED today. Ah well. It will stop soon, right? RIGHT?
Please, please let it stop.
Got new furniture and stuff. When its all set up, if we paint too, I’ll take pics.

A *really* good read!
Twelve Pounds: On being ‘the first girl’ whatever
For ten years I was a welder and bridge carpenter for the Piledrivers union. That is some serious hard work. A large part of the job consisted of packing lumber. Sixteen-foot-long 2X4s. You were expected to carry at least two at a time, and trot [...]

Went fossil hunting, squid fossil hunting, in Graf, IA with my biology class from NICC. It was a BLAST. Took a bunch of pics from there. It was a tiny town, population 78, I think wikipedia said. I wish the weather had been a bit nicer, though.
On the [...]

Despite not having uploaded a photo for 3-4 years, I managed to make $22 last month on shutterstock.
Imagine if I actually put effort into it and took photos to upload?
I think I might go through my photos some more, and maybe even take some photos tomorrow on the trip, out in Graf and [...]

Muffin’s Pet Connection, New York City
I no longer live in Brooklyn, but this is a great cause. Discounted spay/neuter certificates. You buy the certificate from the site or various places in NY, then go to one of their 82 vets that accept the certificate and get your pet spayed/neutered!
It’s a surgery that people put off [...]

I love the accessibility of computers lately. A nice drop in price, easier to configure. It’s like they want people to own computers!
And then they kill ya. They kill you with ink prices. They kill you, SLAUGHTER you, with prices for ethernet cable. I just paid $14 for a whopping 3 feet of low end [...]
