Bits!

[livejournal.com profile] australian_joe has a post which continually makes me grin like a loon (y'know, I've never actually seen a loon), here.

[livejournal.com profile] rosefox did much that was nifty during Blogathon last Saturday, made up almost entirely of audio posts, including songs, poems, and stories. And, if you go donate, you can listen to it all, too! She mentions it here.

[livejournal.com profile] rosefox also pointed us all to a set of comments in code which were being removed due to 'dirty words'. Having randomly read source code throughout my time as QA, I'm highly amused.

Finally, I must share some geeky cuteness. Also - I _frequently_ get confused between things I posted/emailed and things I say on the phone. Probably due to lack of contextual non-verbal input.

Oh! I lied. Not finally. This might be finally. [livejournal.com profile] starandrea posted something which included

"I try to remember that I actually know people who are Republicans and they're perfectly nice. (Even if they would forbid me to marry, take my children, and damn me to hell on holy ground. That's fine. It's all good.)"

in it. I'm _so_ amused.

Pretty! But many pictures.

I adore my friends list, oh yes.

Uh... let it wrap, please?

Fixed. Hadn't considered that pre would have that effect!

ditto that. wrap would make it easier to see.

Your PRE tag is eating our friends pages :)

[identity profile] wispfox.livejournal.com 2004-07-21 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. Fixed. Hadn't thought about that!

*laugh* Ok, I perhaps should have said 'seen a loon in-person', rather than a picture. But! LOOOOOON!

And I have, in fact, seen a loonie before. ;)

I would've posted a picture otherwise, but [livejournal.com profile] quinnclub beat me to it. :P

Well, you see me every couple of weeks. . . ;-)

(I figured that's what you meant, but it was so cute!)

I believe that you not only have to see a loon, but "hear its plaintive wail" to appreciate it. this page (http://www.ns.ec.gc.ca/wildlife/loons/images.html) has some loon calls. :)

[identity profile] wispfox.livejournal.com 2004-07-21 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I've _heard_ loons. I've just not seen them. :)

I grew up sufficiently far north (and with lots of water) to have heard them. Although I didn't realize that all of those sounds were loons, so the link is helpful! Recognized the middle two sounds, and the latter of the two I knew was a loon.

I'm amused that all of the pages that you list are pages that I have open in tabs in Firefox to respond to or otherwise make comment on...

*laugh*

Amused, as well. But not surprised! ;)

And hey - at least it means you don't feel compelled to add anyone else. ;)
