A few site updates and other tidbits

A few quickies for the day, in lieu of actual content. (One could argue that all of my entries are “in lieu of actual content,” I suppose.)

Off to the left, down where the other buttons live, is my GeoURL link. Yes, you can find me (or people near me) by physical location. Isn’t technology grand? Just more proof that I’m probably not as paranoid as I ought to be, or something.

Off to the right, below the daily email address link, are my instant messaging system nicknames. The AOL Instant Messenger one is also a link to send me a quick message. As AIM’s the system I’m almost always on, I figure that’s the only one I’ll bother putting a link for.

In other news, Intellectual Orgy can be traded on BlogShares. I leave the value of this fact as an intellectual exercise for the reader, given that I’m not really that vigorous about “playing” the BlogShares game.

Uncle Pete will be sending me a copy of his write-up of the story of Uncle George’s passing at some point in the (relatively) near future. Shortly afterward it will become a permanent part of this website. If you’re so inclined, please think positive thoughts in the direction of southern Texas. Pete can use all the love and joy he can get right about now.

That’s all for tonight, folks. Maybe I’ll do some photography for next time. What do you think?
