While both Geoff and I have spent a ton of time at work lately (this is my first day off in 11 days I think) I’m in the middle of a fascinating book and I’ve been emailed some really fascinating blog links. Now it’s my turn to share them with you.

I’m not sure there’s much to say about this one
I usually expect stuff of this caliber to come from Etsy. This time, it’s Fab.com and their weekly Foodie email that brings the goods. There’s really nothing to add, this one stands on its own.

Grumpy Cat is my BFF
Every so often there is an internet cat meme that I just really, ridiculously love. Grumpy Cat just makes me ridiculously happy. I think she might be my totem animal.
You can imagine then that I was forced to stop in the freezing cold the other day and take these photos.

This is not the post I was going to write
That post is longer and will be coming up in the next day or two. But, this caught my attention as I was reading Boston.com and cleaning up my inbox today and I thought I’d share. Personally, I’m a little disappointed they didn’t get away with it.

Modern marine archaeology
The continual adaptation of modern technology to the discovery of shipwrecks, especially historically significant shipwrecks, is something that fascinates me. So when I saw this story in Salon about the use of a 3-D sonar to reveal hidden features of a Civil War shipwreck off the coast of Texas, I just had to read it. And if that sort of thing interests you, go check it out, because I am going to babble about history geek stuff for a little while and you might as well understand what I am talking about.
This is your card
Normally Geoff and I spend an inordinate amount of time each November and December writing, signing, stamping, and mailing Christmas cards. We usually send out about 100.
Not this year.
spam, spam, spam…
There are times when spam amuses me. The usual, “Hott!!! girl wants to hook up with YOU!” stuff gets deleted immediately along with anything that refers to penis enlargements, FREE prescriptions, various male enhancements, etc, etc. That’s the usual stuff we get via email at our various accounts.
Spam here at the blog, however, is a bit of a different beast.
Announcing Singing Stones Jewelry
Well folks, I finally did it. I’ve finally taken my jewelry obsession business online. SingingStonesJewelry.com had a soft launch in time for my first show, but I finally got the companion Etsy site online yesterday in time for today, “Cyber Monday”.
Closed due to… snow?
As you probably have heard by now, most of the eastern seaboard is dealing with a little storm. There are a lot of closures and various emergencies being declared including right here in MA. Tonight I was at a party after work for a retiring colleague when my boss, at the request of another coworker, pulled up the MFA website on her phone to see if they were closed tomorrow. This is what she saw.
My life, explained in photos
Lately things have been a little crazy around here. I have been running at full tilt to get a lot of work done for a lot of different places, getting less sleep than I should, while generally getting very frustrated with the world. And recovering from pneumonia. As there have been a plethora of oddly appropriate animal macros floating around on the web (most from ICHC), I’m going to use them to help explain my story.
