Jake’s Kerosene Lamp & Lantern Workshop
Interesting site about collecting, making and repairing kerosene lamps and lanterns. He also has several other interesting sites.  One is where he is rebuilding an old schoolbus into a really fine camper. Another is on building bicycles. Well worth the browsing time if you are into this kind of stuff. Already linked to his water cooled computer pages. This dude is a serious junk lover and hardware hacker!
xkcd – A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language – COMPLY
One might even call this sudo humor… 😉

Another site that I wish had a RSS feed so I (and others) could subscribe. Good site with a lot of good articles.
MicroShop – Red Alt
This looks quite interesting. MicroShop is a shopping cart for WordPress with a paypal gateway built in. Been looking for something like this for over a year and just stumbled on it tonight.  Wasn’t even looking for a shopping cart! Have downloaded it and will try it later today. If it works like I think it will then guess I get to redo several sites that I thought were finished… Mainly cause WordPress will be easier to use for small sales sites, both to setup and to maintain than ANY of the ecommerce programs I have used and tried to use. They are just too complacated for anyone but a geek to setup and run and they want way to much info on each item. /rant
More after I try it… [Does a happy dance when no one is looking]
Andy Ihnatko’s YellowText
Okey-doke…it’s the last day of the month, so it’s probably a good idea to get going on that “Sorry I haven’t been blogging much, but I was completely consumed with finishing my next book” post, Viz:
Sorry that I haven’t been blogging much, but I was completely consumed with finishing my next book.
…Which morphed into “Really, now that the book is done, the very last thing I want to do is attempt to string coherent sentences together if an editor isn’t forcing me at gunpoint,” and then to “I was focusing so totally on finishing the book that I had to back-burner a lot of deadline-less projects, but now I’ve no excuses left.”
He’s Baaaaaaccccckkkk! Looks like Andy has another book coming out. About the iPod from what he says later in the article. But he isn’t dead. I’d been wondering what was up.   Now we know.
Yessss I am still making lots of rather unnecesary posts so maybe Technorati will see the damn things. 😉
And it’s late so…
