Spontaneous Scholar: daquell

I was thinking today about my growing-up years, and it hit me that this will be the last Christmas I spend growing up. All subsequent Christmases I will be an adult, and they may or may not be spent at home, depending on whether I marry and what the Lord has for me.

Departing from all that jazz, let me inform you, O Reader, that if you wish to ship something for Christmas, you want to do it now. We’re overloaded at UPS this time of year, because the smart people get their gifts out early and don’t have to worry or pay any fees for overnight shipping. Take it from a UPS employee: you will save money if you ship early.
*Ahem, don’t tell my boss. We don’t make much money on ground shipments.*

Whew. If last week happens again, three events will occur simultaneously:

1. History will once again have repeated itself,
2. Something fishy will be going on, because Labour Day comes only once a year, and
3. I’ll need to grow some more arms.

Sorry about the healthy (healthy is a word which here means “large, long, or drawn out”) delay in posting. In apology, I’m posting three links which may brighten your day.

Link Number One – Win Vist :: A sneak-peak of what the next version of Microsoft Windows will look like.

Link Number Two – Dark Bunny :: Not a new site, but one soon to be update. This covers the lesser known Leporids.

Link Number Three – A Great Picture :: I won’t ruin this one by giving it away.

Have a great day!

Yeeehaaaww! I’ve been waiting for this major update for months!

Terragen is a program that allows graphic artists to generate photo-realistic scenery. It’s a little tough to use, but can make some great stuff. It can even upload real 3d data like what the mars rovers send back, and map that for you. Quite a nice program for the cost: free. Some examples of Terragen’s power (these have post-processing with The GIMP ):
