Here's Seth with his friend Mackenzie. We joke about having arranged their marriage, even though they're only five.

"I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions."

The Wall Street Journal reported on some online video sites that are actually worth your (and my) time.  Unlike YouTube, which is mostly just a waste of time (fun though it may be), these sites provide some edification - sometimes practical, such as do-it-yourself home improvements, and sometimes educational, such as politics, world events, lectures, and fine arts.

It's amazing what you can learn about people, even if you don't know them.  I was digging through some of the logs for this site, combatting the latest round of spammers trying to post their filth as comments, when I noticed something I hadn't before:  I get statistics from the site software on how people are coming into the site.  In geek terms, it's called the "referrer" and it basically shows where you were before you came here.  It's not surprising to me that the #1 referrer, at 6021 hits and counting, is Google.  The part I like are the ones with only one or two hits.  They are simultaneously entertaining and disturbing, and sometimes I really wonder how they got here from there.  Case in point: the Canadian who came here from Google after searching on "after eating steak pain and vomiting of white stringy mucus."

Something new on the site is the addition of preview icons for any link to a site other than this one.  This free service from search engine site snap.com, called Snap Shots, allows me to provide a preview of any page linked to from this site.  When you hover over the preview icon, a Snap Shot of the page will appear.  This should be especially useful for all those links I use that point to Wikipedia.
