Distractions for the masses!

Here's a massive post of totally irrelevant stuff to wipe out a week-plus of inertia from your Rant's host, moi.

The following links should keep you entertained. Unless, of course, you have a life. Apologies to those who foolishly tune in to the Rant to read about what's actually going on in my life. Hah! What do you think this is? A personal blog? Oh, hmm...

Well, here's a Reader's Digest version of the personal shtuff:

  1. Been very busy at work with the Download.com redesign. We've hired a CSS whiz contractor and I'm getting pagetype designs completed and signed-off by the bosses. We aim to unveil the redesign in the last week of June or first couple weeks of July, depending on a few variables that are up in the air at the moment.
  2. Been moving the GF unit into the loft, and spending as much time with her before she leaves for Missouri (which she did yesterday). I will not see her for a month, when I will be visiting the middle of the country myself.
  3. The loft is immaculately clean and tidy. If you didn't attend the Book Crawl, you missed its sparkling cleanliness, and btw, you suck and that's all there is to it, but if you're really nice (bribes gladly accepted) I may give you a second chance and extend an invite to drop by and have a cocktail or a smoke on the roof or whatever turns you on.
  4. In my few "spare" hours at home, I've mostly been hard at work on OzarkHandspun.com, the almost-finished website of Velma's dad's specialty yarn business. Announcement coming soon. Just days away, really!

And with that, on with the distractions!
