Our home improvement projects are finally complete including our new screened-in porch. Screens are a must here in Raleigh where swarming mosquitoes will literally eat you alive within minutes of your walking outside. We've been enjoying the bug free living for about a month now. Two big ceiling fans make it comfortable even in August.

del.icio.us

After reading Chris and Rafe's posts about coping with a day without del.icio.us, I decided it was time to give it a try. I've tried a number of different ways to keep track of articles that I want to blog about, read at a later time, or just remember for future reference. Over the years I've tried keeping them in a browser bookmark folder, tracking them on a Voodoo pad page, and even saving them as draft blog entries but del.icio.us seems like a much better approach. You can find my del.icio.us link blog here.

    oked at @Google's plans to merge social & search. Horrible, horrible idea. Could have consequences worse than anything Facebook has done.
