Happy Sappy Birthday to Me!

Just wanted to thank everyone who e-mailed, texted, tweeted and facebooked me birthday messages, as well as those who left messages on Snark with cute cake piccies in.

A New Decade

It would be superfluous to call the last decade "life-changing", given that I was 13 at the beginning of it. Nonetheless, there is no other way to describe it.

I'd like to find some way to recycle them so I continue to get use and don't have to worry about having wasted money (and I don't mean by making dusters out of them). Short of cutting off the sleeves and making a patchwork blanket, I'm at a loss as to what I could do with them. And, if I did decide to make a ... Read more

Suggestions for tutorialtastic

Assuming Isabel continues to take several long — albeit fart-filled — naps during the day, I want to try and get the next incarnation of tutorialtastic ready to go for some time early new year. With that in mind, please please please leave me a comment with feedback on what you'd like to see... either generic suggestions or specific tutorial ideas.

(If people could pass this message on to others who use the site, via message boards/twitter/whatever, would be eternally grateful :))
