Asymptomatic

The first vacuum cleaner that doesn’t lose suction.http://www.dyson.com/homepage.asp

Saturday was my birthday, and I decided to take off work on the day before.  I think that was a good decision, because Friday turned out to be a pretty good day.

In the morning, Berta, Abby, and I went to Penn's Table in West Chester for breakfast.  I had some chipped beef gravy on toast.  Abby ate a bit of Berta's food, since she had eaten cereal before leaving the house.  It's better to give her food than to have her scream until breakfast arrives.  So that was good.  It's nice in there at 9am on Friday because it's not crowded.

Finding today’s writing motivation unmotivating, I comment on something that might get me motivated.

I finally figured out how to put the Blogdex to use.  It's a little tool called Metalinker.  I read about it in a book at Barnes and Noble yesterday afternoon.  There were two items in the whole book that interested me, this being one of them - this seems typical of any web design book I pick up these days.

Basically, you add some script to your page, and noodle with some configuration stuff, and presto!  Every link on your site gets a little footnote that links to the Blogdex.  You'll note that on Asymptomatic (the site you're reading), the footnote is a small superscript R.  When you click the R, a list of other blogs appears that also talk about the linked-to subject.  Pretty cool, eh?  Maybe I should add a feature like this to PageCat.

I’m not really good at this positive thinking business in regard to writing.  But I give it a shot.
