This is completely adorable.

Bunneh!
I just can't surf away.

Sounds

I like sounding out words in languages that I don't know.

Pease and Corn

11:56 AM me: OMG, you bought me Cream-Style corn instead of whole kernel!
  I just noticed!
  /me is sad
  wah wah
 Kendall: heh. oops... ;)
  sorry
 me: hehe
  In the garbage it goes
11:57 AM on the bright side, the peas are fine
 Kendall: whew ;)

Update (via email):

Scott: Are you throwing away wonderful and delicious cream-style corn? You are crazy. I want cream-style corn!

me: You may come over and pick up 3 cans of cream-style corn at your convenience. I will fish them out of the garbage for you.

Scott: YAY! Garbage corn!

OMG Drinking water is contaminated with Homeopathic Drugs! ... Wait, what?

Facebook

Facebook has surprised me with the sheer variety of people I have found on it. So far, people fall into the following groups:
  • My Family
  • Kendall's Family
  • Grand Rapids Friends (three distinct groups)
  • Everything2 People
  • Ann Arbor Friends (there is some overlap with E2 people here)
  • Puerto Rico Friends/Classmates
So far, I have found not a single person from my two years of high school in Orlando. My high school isn't even a group. It feels strangely dream-like.

Flock at Work!

Finally able to download Flock. Looks great.

Yay!:
  • Built in Blog Editor. Works with most platforms, and allows relatively easy cross-posting.
  • Built in checker of email and social networking sites.
  • Integrates del.icio.us links into the browser.
  • Seems pretty light-weight.
  • Many Firefox add-ons just work.
Boo!:
  • Can't change the URLs used by the "Account" shortcuts, or any of the shortcuts. They all point to redir.flock.com using http:// which my employer blocks. https:// works fine most of the time though, so I would love to point to that instead, but it doesn't seem to be possible to change it.
  • Feed reader rather sucks compared to Google Reader.
  • Flashblock add-on does NOT work.
Otherwise:
  • Someone found my wallet! They found me on Facebook, which I never update, but which my employer does not happen to block (they block MySpace, but I wouldn't be caught dead in there anyway).
  • I set up a Twitter feed. Even though I can't update it directly (blocked), there is a GChat bridge that I can send IM to.

Test?

I just installed Flock, and I'm experimenting with crossposting on Blogger and LJ at the same time. We'll see if this works.

Flock Editor Test

Does it work?
