geekiest gift evar?

Yesterday was Melanie's birthday. Among the gifts she received from me was... a search engine advertising campaign.

And no, I'm not going to tell you the keywords. I don't want to skew the metrics.

Anyway... seriously geeky gift. I'm going to go stick more pens in my pocket protector now.



PS... for those who have been wondering if I still exist, this post is confirmation that I do, at some level or another. Between birthdays and misc other stuff, I'm lucky to know my own name in the mornings.

Blast from the past...

I had to look up an old post, and as a result I've gone on a jaunt of looking through old entries and adding them to various categories in my LJ memories.

Thunder has been intermittently shaking the house and rain urges me to shhhhhhh from the back porch. A good time to repost this, from back in 2001...


"it's raining. i love rain. i think it must always rain inside my mind. i feel so at home. the thunderclouds have spilled out my ears while i slept and have drenched the world . you are in my land now. you know the storms that rock your tallest oaks, the misting summer rains that surround you... you know me well. Don't shelter under an umbrella though, step into my world and get wet."
