memoirs on a rainy day

How to find images on the web. (via kottke)

Dooce appeared in the Today Show last week. Or the week before. I’m not sure, since I’ve been traveling since last Tuesday. (YouTube, SFW)

My wife is mentioned in this article on English blogs from Taiwan.

Jason Kottke gets interviewed by Deron Bauman  from Clusterflock.

If you didn’t know about Morgellon’s Disease, Koantum Matters has got a good primer on the illness. I wrote about A Scanner Darkly and Morgellon’s syndrome back in 2006.

But, Sarah, I love you more than Google.
Little AK to Sarah.

Now that’s love!

If you’ve got any stories that you would like to send me, please feel free to do so. I started the Storytree stories more than a year ago to collect stories of people and my own. All of the ones that were published were witnessed by me or they happened to me. I would like to expand the project into other people’s stories. Good or bad, nice or naughty.

Here are some guidelines:

Storytree stories must be real.
They can be very short or very long.
They can be sent anonymously. I’d actually prefer to anonymize them before publishing.
You can send me anything, but I reserve the right to choose what gets published.
You can also send photos to accompany your stories.
You can include adult situations and language, but be advised that I will post a warning above such stories.

Send them to memoirs [dot] on [dot] a [dot] rainy [dot] day [at] gmail [dot] com.

I also got two t-shirts and a hoodie.

It’s satisfying when I see something that I blogged days ago being picked up by the majors blogs like Kottke, Swissmiss and Waxy. Doesn’t happen often, but it’s happened a few times.
