So, yeah, about me and my harbingering1 of mechanical failure. It seems like everything mechanical around me is breaking! If I enter a room, surely something mechanical will burst into flames. Probably the most spectacular of my mechanical failures of late is that my fridge is dying a long, slow, drawn-out, and pathetic death. Awhile […]
So, I logged into my blog just now, with no idea in particular about what to blog about today, hoping that staring at the blank screen would inspire me. Or that I’d discover 7/8ths of a blog posting already written which I’d forgotten about1. And, in an effort to further procrastinate on writing, I decided […]
In addition to a dating site for finding someone to have an affair with (which, apparently, is actually just a front for a prostitution site), you can also use science to find your perfect match: My favourite part of the site is this: Only $995 for a lifetime membership. Why would you need a lifetime […]
So, it seems like everyone on earth has done the “25 random things about yourself” meme1 and I’ve only just now2 been tagged with it! Doubled tagged, actually, by both Jackie & Jodelene. Doubled teamed by two girls, if you will. Ahem. So, since everyone on earth has already done this meme, since I enjoy […]
Why has no one told me about this site before? From Cats That Look Like Hitler.com
So, after posting yesterday’s blog posting, which I was totally sure I’d alreday posted, I got to thinking “Why the heck didn’t I post it?” And through my mad investigatory skills, I made a horrifying discovery: I missed a day of blogging! I’m pretty sure that what must have happened was that I wrote that […]
I’m soliciting ideas of what I should put on my homepage here at drbethsnow.com. Right now is says “Welcome to my new home at drbethsnow.com!” and has a couple of buttons (or widgets or whatever the heck you want to call those things). But I feel like I really should have something of more substance […]
While goofing around with setting up the WordPress Stats plugin for my new blog yesterday, I happened to look at the stats for my old site. And noticed that I had a ridiculously high number of hits yesterday. Like, ridiculous. Like 645 hits (compared to my usual 150 or so) ridiculous. It didn’t take too […]
So, after movin’ on up to the self-hosted side, and spending far too much time picking (and then tweaking) a theme, I’m wondering how many people actually come to my blog itself to read my blog postings and how many people never even see my pretty shoe-embellished pages because they read it elsewhere. Hence, a […]
So, I finally decided to take the plunge and self-host my blog. I registered my domain ages ago and signed up for hosting last month, but hadn’t gotten around to actually diving into until today. And, despite the fact that I probably should have spent the afternoon working on my lectures for next week, I […]
