gone campin'....

a little tribute to grant in the title there....

off camping for the next couple days. if you're lucky, maybe i'll have something to post when i get back. if you're really lucky, it may even be interesting.

wouldn't that be a nice change ;)

now, don't y'all work yourself up into a frenzy of expectation whilst i'm gone now.

funniest e-mail of the day.....

the boss is away, so i'm the stand-in whilst he is enjoying holidays.

i received this e-mail today:

subject: sick today
I am feeling well today, and will not be in.


it's either honesty, or cold medication talking there....

favourite reading....

A couple of posts back, I posted my reading list for the last year (books I thought worth recommending) as well as favourite books...

There were a couple of books I missed that I would add to my 'favourite reads':

• Dhalgren - Samuel R Delaney (Not sure if it's in print, or if it's even easy to find in the used book stores these days. Be forewarned, the person who recommended it to me was unable to finish it - as is the same for most people I know. I think I've read it 3 or 4 times. I suggest you flip through it first to get a feel before tossing money down and then cursing me or at lease checking out what they have to say on Wikipedia.)
• Hyperion/Fall of Hyperions/Endymion/Rise of Endymion - Dan Simmons
• Lee Valley Tool Catalogue (Yup... I read this one cover to cover every year.)
