2007 in (very) brief

First half: insanely terrible

Second half: pretty amazing

Difference? 2000 miles, thousands of dollars, lake vs. ocean, freezing vs. mild, endings vs. beginnings

In other news: A little bit of blogging--MEGO, 1-800-Roosevelt, California Scheming--here and there, as the year winds down. Can't say I'm sorry to see this one go.

'Tis the ... season?

As the first real snow his Chicago, folks out here in the Valley talk about "winter" arriving because we've had three days of kind of misty cloud cover. These types of seasonal disconnects continue to take up too much of my braintime. Little else will for the next month, as the first quarter here at school comes to a close and the holidays rapidly approach. It's crazy to think that we've already been living here for almost four months. Time truly does fly.

Lots of new blog posts this week. My Eyes Glaze Over continues to be where the action is, with more thoughts on Amazon's Kindle and Facebook's missteps; my Punk Planet blog saw an update on the sorry state of music at Stanford; 1-800-Roosevelt gets the usual updates, including the man's Amazon wishlist for those that care; and even California Scheming gets in a holiday mood with a broken set of Christmas lights that can be yours on the cheap!
