snowballs are for wimps. real men fight with snowshovels.
here are the current apps on my ipod touch, itemized for George:

my dad’s old west german manual coffee grinder. it’s slower than the el cheapo electric we have, and just as loud, but more fun to use.

wind chill this afternoon was back down below -30˚C. I’m soooo ready for summer again.

The 2008 366photos photo a day project wrapped up last night. I don’t have anything deep or profound to say about it, other than I’m really glad Alan talked me into doing a second year (after doing 2007/365 the year before). I didn’t think I’d be able to do it, but it’s been fun. It’s been hard – I knew it would be, but there were a few times where I almost dropped the project. It’s been surprisingly rewarding. And it’s been inspiring, watching the other people who have taken on the project for the year.
I had initially planned on stopping after this year, but now I really don’t think I can stop. Time to get 2009/365 started…
