first of all: shameless plug for my freeipod.com referral. there's a previous post with more info.
and now, a bit o' linkage:
- redemption in a blog has a great article up detailing the upcoming thunderbird 0.8 release. complete with pictures. details the new rss support, new global inbox, better remote image blocking, and (my personal favorite) the long-awaited 'get all messages' button. go read it.
- my friend dan has a blog! (so this'll make three dans on the ol' link bar...) he's posted a response to my response to gerv's response. and in response, well, i don't share dan's perspective. i don't think "except by me" can be replaced with "except by love," or "believe in me" with "believe in love." jesus often taught in parables, yes, but his words are definitely not limited to allegory and metaphor. (and incidentally, i don't consider theology to be one of c. s. lewis' strong points.)
- asa writes on the firefox community marketing initiative. we're looking for donation of high-profile ad space. if you're interested, contact blake and rebron.
anible and i have somehow managed to cull our guest list down to 100, from about 200. painful process. i don't recommend it. i think we're going to employ the "a-list, b-list" routine--send out invitations three months early to everyone who really must be invited, and then send out more after you get rejection RSVPs. because, see, i really want my college friends there, and so does he, but we've got too many freaking family members/ancient old friends. ah well. we've also narrowed down our location options to two. or three, if we like the place we're visiting today. we've got budgets mostly worked for both--i have no idea how much flowers will set us back, but i hear they're pricey. i'm not into the ceremony-location-as-bower thing, so maybe it won't be so bad. o we decided on music for the reception: contra dance. we're going to do a contra dance. (for the unenlightened: irish group dances. not to be confused with square dancing.) it would be so much fun, and we could save a few hundred dollars.
let's see...ah yes, i almost bought a car. it was a lovely little car. a 1989 volkswagen jetta, four cylinder 1.8l engine, 5-speed transmission, immaculate. needed about $800 of work, but the son of the owner said the asking price was $1000, or less. not so, said the owner. ah well. it was a nice little car. no power steering--i'd never driven a car without power steering. that was exciting. p'raps i'll find another.
