Mr. dead @ 32 can now die a happy man. He’s turned 32 this month, and he has had a stong feeling that he would die at the age of 32. I can only imagine the emotions he must be experiencing this month. I’ve had premonitions of his sort, but not as strong, and not with a date attached. Here’s hoping that his premonitions were figurative: having achieved his goal, attaining “Sal”, he has begun a new life. I like this idea… he won over Sal on his Birthday. He was dead when he hit 32, and now he’s alive. Mr. Dead @ 32, welcome to the land of the living!

MisterPants has found another gem: Milko Musik Maskin. This site is a Finnish pro-milk campaign where you can (if you have shockwave) compose a song with lyrics and music effects, create the music video, and have it all performed by a signing, dancing cow. Fantastic! Choose from Hårdrock, hip-hop, and disco. Moo. Moo moo moo!

A new (to the world) play by the late Monty Python member Graham Chapman opened last weekend at a small Atlanta theater, Dad’s Garage. Michael Palin and John Cleese served as advisors for the show. I must go see this.

A landowner outside town wants to recreate a European village on a large tract of farmland. He’s gotten all the correct government approval, has a wonderful set of plans drawn up, but, despite successful similar developments elsewhere, he’s having trouble finding a developer to actually build the place. I got to see the land during the Tour de Sprawl a few weeks ago, and I would love to live there. It looks like it’ll be priced outside my range, though.

While most of the surrounding area burned, Athens was spared from destruction during the Civil War. Two markers describe the battle that defended the town.

Last weekend, over 100 webloggers took photos throughout the day for 24 hours for a project titled BEHIND THE CURTAIN: a day in the life of webloggers. I participated, and here is my gallery. Enjoy!

I’m suffering through a hard drive failure in my laptop. Data’s been recovered, and now the reconstruction has begun. Updates to this page will wait until I’m through.

A new hard drive and two version upgrades later, and Microsoft Outlook Express managed to retain all 2785 emails from my old, dead, drive? A-mazing.

She’s back! After two months of checking, just in case, only to be met with the same kind-of depressing Vignette, today Anne Sussman is back! Oh, happy day!

I give to you a Kestrel’s Nest exclusive: How I Spent My Birthday Weekend, by Eric Wagoner (Age 29). Consider it a warm-up for my submission to BEHIND THE CURTAIN: a day in the life of webloggers. Pictures for that were taken the day after my birthday.
