Your Books and Neighbors (TMN)
Every once in awhile I wish that I were working in a bookstore again. It's a mad crazy wish. I loved and hated every moment I was selling books, but if I were to own my own store, ah, what madness I would create.

Snow Emergency
January 22, 2005, 4 P.M. - Governor Mitt Romney declared a state of snow emergency and activated the National Guard because evacuations may be necessary in coastal areas. He urged residents to stay off the roads for safety sake and so that road crews could do their jobs.
"We need people off the roads. Not just tonight, but also tomorrow. With the snow anticipated falling at such a high rate, our plows can't possibly keep up, they'll probably be working right through the night and again right through tomorrow to get things ready for Monday," Romney said.
News of any state government office closings will be reported here.

Flickr stream
I downloaded Picasa2 last night on my 98 box. I found a lot of photos that I forgot about and some porn that I also forgot about. Good thing no one is looking over my shoulder. I don't put photos on my windows boxes anymore, I usually use the the iBook and iPhoto. But I like how Picasa found everything, I'll have to put it on the 2000 box (if I ever get it up and running again).
So since I found these photos I forgot about, I decided to load some up to my Flickr account, which really was just sitting around and doing nothing since November.
Enjoy.

Kafka washed away
I don't want to read this review of Murakami's new book, Kafka on the Shore, because I am afraid it might give something away. Something I want Murakami to unleash, not Salon.
I need to pick it up after work, and start it tomorrow morning. Then I'll read the review.

My Three Favorite Computer Games of 2004 by Paul Ford.
"Cat Ball Shaver: This is one of those games that you have to see, where it's all about gameplay. Basically, you're a razor, and you have to run through a number of increasingly weird 3D levels, chasing cats, and shaving their balls. The cats get increasingly hard to find, and there are an amazing number of them. There are tabbies, tortoise-shells, Siamese, and cougars. As you complete levels the razor gets more powerful and you have to be careful not to hurt the cats or neuter them. When you succeed in shaving a cat's balls, it spits up a diamond that you can collect. But when a cat escapes, it turns into a bandage, and if you trip over the bandage, it wraps around you, and this keeps happening until you become a mummy, which scares the cats even more, which makes them more difficult to find. Also, you're allergic to the sun, which means that during the day you have to open up an umbrella, and different cats react in different ways to the umbrella. Some run away, and some turn into birch trees. Like I said, this one is hard to explain! But you will definitely appreciate the creativity and originality of Cat Ball Shaver."

NonRandom Apple Links
NEW APPLE PRODUCTS THAT I WANT TO BUY:
iPod Shuffle: USB Flash disk and can hold up to 240 songs. Good for work outs, and so damn small. Autofill and shuffle can make a very random mix with over 4,000 songs. AND IT's SO CHEAP!
Mac Mini: Entry level, monitor-less mac. Small and compact, easy to plug in to current components. I'll be getting this soon, so that my iBook can become a portable machine again. It's like the cube of old.

9 inch waves
Tsunami's Ripples, Unnoticed, Washed Along Atlantic Coast (NYT, need login)A tide gauge at Atlantic City recorded the passage of a "train" of waves, just under nine inches from crest to trough, 32 hours after the earthquake struck off Sumatra's west coast on Dec. 26, said Dr. Alexander B. Rabinovich of the Canadian Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney, British Columbia. A gauge at Port Canaveral, Fla., recorded 13.4-inch waves 24 minutes later.
