2008 is over. 2009 is starting slowly.
It’s a quiet start to the year so far. Guess it’s all the hangovers and football games.
Lori Fitz: has New Year’s Ideas instead of resolutions. My favorite:
I will get red glasses. I found some sassy red glasses that I want, and darn it, I think I’d look pretty cute in them.
Over at Eargasms Herr Koob is featuring a guest post by the CSO’s principal cellist.
CountOn2 liveblogged the first half of the USC-Iowa game. Ouch.
Got a minute and four seconds to kill? Try “Cat vs. Copy Machine” at OldController.
Pam has moved from “The Audacity of Not Hoping” to a more peaceful place.
Chad Norman at Go Green Charleston replaced his Christmas lights with new LED lights then ran the numbers:
The bottom line: My LED lights used 85% less energy than the traditional lights, and cost only 5¢ per day to operate. This saved me $10.75 over the 5-week period (LEDs cost $1.95; Incadescent cost $12.70) Not bad!
Sometimes you just get lucky.
Heartless Gamer shows some heart… for Brett Favre.
Brett Favre is the easy target during the Jets collapse. 2 touchdown tosses vs. 9 interceptions. That is enough to get any quarterback fired in this league, but somehow Favre was given the starting job every week. Some will say it was because the Jets spent too much money to bench him. Some will say that Favre was elitist. Some will say anything to lay the blame on Favre.
Obviously, the bomb-throwers haven’t paid attention to Favre’s career. When his team’s running game falls apart due to a subpar offensive line, Favre takes it on himself to get something going. That leads to interceptions, but it has also lead to the plethora of miracle-moments in Favre’s career.
Happy 2009, everyone!
