Random thought dump:

* My birthday was excellent. I expected a bad day at work as my boss decided to take a day off (and the crap he so deftly deals with invariably falls onto my less adept shoulders when he's not there). Luckily though, things went pretty smoothly. I even had one of the office-hotties swing by to wish me a happy birthday and...

I just came up with a quick web browser hack/trick for those of you with a lot of bookmarks to manage. Scale back your bookmark list to just your favourites, and still have easy in-browser access to all your other saved pages. (and I'm not talking about Foxmarks!)

1. Export your bookmarks to an HTML backup file (other file types work too, but I found...

Oh man!
One more useless gadget to add to the wishlist!

Awesome weekend roundup!

Friday night: Drag myself home, tired and miserable from a day both on-campus and at work (I try to never do this and now I remember why; the left-brain, right-brain shift can really take it out of you).
