I just wanted to offer my thanks to the US government for their immense wisdom in pushing DST back three weeks and making me wake up in the dark again. The extra two weeks of morning darkness I’ll be getting is just what I needed.
Thanks again.

A new blog/wiki project
A few weeks ago while I was updating some of the dog park pages over at Charleston Wiki, the thought crossed my mind that I should do a Charleston Dog Park Tour. I’d take the dogs to each of the dog parks in the area, take a bunch of pictures of the park and the dogs playing there and write about them. Good blog/wiki fodder I figured and it seemed like it would be a fun thing to do.
I’d have a little more to put down for the respective wiki entries and the pictures would make a nice supplement.
Maybe I could even take it on the road and do a Lowcountry Dog Park tour.
I know the dogs certainly wouldn’t mind, especially if there were ponds to check out and test for swim-ability.
Who wants to come along?
New monitor
The Samsung 226BW I ordered arrived today. Decided to take the opportunity to rearrange the computer setup and move things around a bit. I really need some kind of cable management system.
1600×1050 pixels of LCD goodness. This thing is super bright too. Had to crank the brightness all the way down so that it was tolerable. It’s on a swivel stand, but not height adjustable and for some reason it only tilts toward the back. 90° is as far forward as the monitor tilts, so you don’t want to position it too high.
Would like to try and get a dual-head setup going with the new monitor and the old CRT. Might look strange, but it’s one of the Dell Trinitron 17″ monitors and even after 7 years the image quality is still pretty good.
I love this monitor. I want another one now.
