In a few weeks, we’ll be moving to a new place. A bigger place, with more space for our Stuff. We’re not moving far. In fact we’re just moving to the other side of the building we’re in now, to a 2 bedroom apartment. The extra space will be very nice indeed, as we’re about bursting to the seams in our current place.
Now I have to collect a bunch of boxes to pack stuff up into, see about finding some mover guys to haul my stuff from one end of the building to the other, do the address changes and get utilities taken care of.
Fun fun fun.
Blogging: One Year Later
Boy, time sure flies. It’s already been a year since I jumped on the weblogging bandwagon and surprisingly enough, I’m still on it.
When I first started, I didn’t think I’d really have all that much to say. I probably still don’t, but I say what I want people to know about me, what I do and what goes on around me. If anyone actually reads it, even better!
Being an anniversary, naturally I thought I’d look over my entries for the past year to see if I could spot any evolution in my weblogging. I’m not sure my writing has changed or improved at all. Lots of linkage, lots of writings that I just seem to cut off without really finishing. I tend to do that when writing. Write and write until I run out of stuff to say, then just end it. It definitely makes it hard for me to write up my research, but I’ve been working at changing that. Bad habits die hard though.
It’s been a fun year, and definitely busy and eventful.
I think one of the more interesting things I’ve discovered doing this weblogging thing is other webloggers. It’s interesting and fun to meet people through their weblogs. Some are very personal and spill out all their guts for the world to see, others less so. And all the variety in weblogs! It feels like you can surf and surf and surf until your modem/router burns out and only just touch the surface of the weblog iceberg. Simply amazing. I love cruising through my list of regular weblogs and finding links to interesting things, or checking out a random weblog at Weblog Review.
I think I’ll hang around the weblogging world a while longer
1st Blogiversary: Today, or tomorrow?
June 23, 2003 I made my first weblog entry, which I think would make it my first blogiversary. But thanks to leap year, today marks the 365th day this weblog has been up and running.
Maybe I’ll celebrate both days.
My Cyborg Name
The IMABUG Mark IV. I think I like the sound of that.
Get your own cyborg name.

Warning: Gross Anatomy class may be hazardous to your family’s health
In addition to learning all the various bits and pieces that make the body work, my wife has been learning all sorts of nifty tricks that you can do with your appendages.
Things like if you hold your index, ring and little fingers flat against something, it’s impossible to move just the very tip of your middle finger. You can move it from the second joint, but not the very tip. Try it.
Or various spots that open up when you move into certain positions so you can hear things better.
And how to dislocate your shoulder, or mine as she was thinking of doing last night. How to put it back in is next week’s lecture. Good thing for me she decided not to try it out on me. I can just see it now, me wandering around with a limp arm waiting until she learns how to pop my arm back into place.
I’m starting to have second thoughts about this medicine thing she’s doing. Maybe they need to put a warning statement on this gross anatomy course.
