An amalgamation of sundries and miscellany.

So, I’ve found the most amazing music making device I think I have ever laid eyes on.

Greetings Interwebers.

My good friend Jinky Williams approuched me some time ago and asked me if I would be interested in posting upon this here blog. Now here we are. I am definitely excited to get the ball rolling and see what will come up next.

I guess I should say a wee bit about myself. When I am not playing Bagpipe Hero or crafting tasty treats, I seem to find myself goofing off with my wife or Jinky. I enjoy shooting the breeze, reminiscing on old video games, watching clouds, Seattle Stouts and attempting to be a good husband. I do not really have much to say as introductions really are not my thing. Maybe you all will have to let me know if I am doing theHouse of Jink any good.

Jinky and I have talked about putting some avatars to use.

Best regards and looking onward,

Splintofewnious

So, I was reading Lifehacker and ran across a link to an article on one of their sister sites, Gizmodo, aboutentry blankets with arms. These things, which evidently are big-time in the market right now, were heretofore unknown by me.

They compared four of them, and went with the Slanket as the pretty much hands-down champion of the armed blankets.

I checked out the Slanket website. I am definitely gonna get me one of these. These things are awesome!

In the latest “anti-terror” movement, the UK police force has seen fit to dole out another round of suspicion-mongering posters.

Their whole article reads out of something that could easily have been something Sutler’s PR spinners turned out, pre-election. I think I hear the theme song to Brazil.

Sigh, I’m done with this. It’s too easy to write about all the junk that’s going on in the world. I’m not really a negative person by nature. And besides, it’s not so much an amalgamation of sundries and miscellany when most of the words on this site (especially in the past two weeks) have been used to explain or express unhappiness with the current state of the world.

Look for some lighter-side stuff to come.

My coat is not here, so it must be some place else.

Today’s XKCD comic I can totally relate to. Not more than a month ago I had a dream where I was back at the Art Institute, hadn’t done any homework for three classes and I was already a month into the quarter. It sucked, and I was pretty depressed at myself for letting it get that far. I think I was just about to plain walk out of class, un-register and quit school.

All this, and I graduated in 2001. Glad I’m not the only one who has these kinds of dreams.
