Time to see if WordPress is going to pull the digital equivalent of a rectal craniotomy this morning and actually work…

Today is the fourth day of Kwanzaa. Today’s principle is “Ujamaa” or “cooperative economics”:

To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together.

Yesterday, I wound up running a couple of errands and then having coffee with . We headed to Jitter Bug, which was the first time either of us had been there in… well… quite a while. It was a nice way to round out the afternoon.

After I got home, SaraRules and I pondered dinner options. We came up with the idea heading out to dinner, but needed to narrow down our options. We called Logan and Swiz to see if they were interesting in going with us. We settled on Famous Dave’s BBQ. Good call. Back at home, we watched one of the last episodes of Planet Earth; this one was on conservation. It was good without being overly preachy.

Stray Toasters

• Philadelphia is on Bravo. I had forgotten how good a movie it is; I should find it on DVD.
• Cinematical.com had a couple of gallery items that I found interesting/amusing:
  • The Trilogy Meter
  • Noir-Style Posters
• ‘Romeo & Juliet’: Just as You Misremembered It
• 
• From the “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot…?!” file: Escaped Convict Continues to Update Facebook
• Here are a couple of neat LEGO builds:

  • Daedalus landing
• Star Wars/A-Team intro mashup

Off to face the day.

Namaste.
