When I say home, I suppose I just mean Georgia. Sleeping on my parents couch just doesn’t have that homey appeal. I’m just telling myself its short term (it is) until I get going at my new job (which I start tomorrow). I don’t know how many of my imaginary readers out there have ever lived.. transiently, or without a room or personal space, but take it from me, it’s a drag. This all boils down to: I’m homesick for a place that doesn’t exist. That sounds a little bizarre and existential but it’s truth. This is my home right now, but any personal possessions I have have to fit in a dresser drawer or messenger bag. Sigh.

Anyway, my Jersey jaunt was nice. We saw The Daily Show last Wednesday (link is to episode, listen for my laugh. it sounds like this: ha ha). I got some rays at the world’s most dangerous beach, Point Pleasant (link is to possibly real or not picture of the stupid-big waves there). I also spent about 942 hours in some form of transportation limbo (Planes, trains, and automobiles. Seriously. Delayed, canceled, and lost. Seriously.) But overall, a nice trip. I’ll take responsibility for the art of the week not being up last week, since I was distracting Maggie. Maybe. Regardless.
I start my new job tomorrow. Just training but yeah. Rambling is my cue to hit the door. I hope to get the menu redone and spiffed to look good across all browsers soon. I’m also planning on learning Flash for my new job, and maybe i can parlay some of that skill over to the yeroc. I’ve also added underline to links in posts, to make them stand out a bit more. I’ve upped the leading (or line-height) to hopefully make the posts more readable. Added meta tags o’plenty. That’s actually a lot of stuff. How about that.
Finally, there’s been a bit of buzz that I’m catching the tail end of, over the new search engine started by ex-google employees, Cuil.com (pronounced “cool”). It doesn’t seem that cool to me, but with the utter search engine dominance google has right now, I applaud any newcomer to the arena. It’s still new, buggy, and kinda stupid. But it’s also pretty, different, and very diamond-in-the-rough-y. But a pretty rough. Lots of buzz though. Kinda no results for yeroc.org. Weird. Even results for culi are.. mixed at best. Reaction here, here, and of course here.
Finally II, I’m going to be switching from categories to tags on the site. I get kind of rambley so it’s hard to throw any post under one heading. In this post alone, I’ve talked about a few different things that are very different. So look for old posts to be cleaned up, and all new posts to be tagged, not categorized.
Finally III, I wish I had a bigger readership, but I don’t really know how to achieve that. I don’t wanna be like, HEY, READ MY BLOG! Cause I know I usually don’t find other peoples personal blogs too interesting, unless they’re like some international jet setter (which I am not) or have some brilliant insight into interesting topics (Brilliant would be a stretch para mi.) I don’t know. I don’t think my grammar, writing, or proofreading skills are really that off the charts so I don’t want to put my self out there, and sound like an idiot. Some discourse would be nice, that’s all. I enjoy talking to no one I suppose; I’ve been doing it on here awhile now.
Okay that’s it, seriously. Goodnight.
