two-fer

that's two for one, just in case you're wondering...

so the folks at we make money not art had this post about dust furniture with a picture that explains everything...

it's a really cool idea that comes from jurgen bey...

now i want you to visit both of those links in order... the first shows the picture of a neat idea... the second shows a website with the worst interface ever... it's not just a flash-based website, it's a flash-based website where the items move and jiggle around like jello... ack!... clicking on something is like trying to swat a fly...

merde!

once upon a time i had a roommate who was french... i don't mean french canadian, i mean he came from france... jean christophe crebier and he taught me all the best french words - or at least i thought so at the time...

it was quite a while ago, though, and i recently came to the realization that my memory of those words was fading (not my memory of christophe, however, that crazy french guy with his crazy french hair will be indelibly etched into my mind forever) so i decided to google up the words and lo and behold i found Cursing in French@Everything2.com...

what i learned from my searching is a) i can't spell salope at all and b) christophe left some of these out... darn you christophe..

also, because of christophe i now realize that toilet paper should have been called ass paper all along...

christmas got harder this year

so this year in my family we're all playing santa... everybody gets one name and the name you get is the name of the person whose stocking you've gotta fill...

it's amazing how far from easy that really is, even for people you're supposed to know, but I got the person i know least well of all of them - my almost cousin-in-law (or whatever you call someone who isn't yet married to your cousin)...

this also means that christmas has become much more interesting... using contacts to gather intelligence on family members is a new one on me... kinda like some sort of spy game or something...
