Anagram Maker
Thanks to Scott over at the Media Orchard, for finding me the Internet Anagram Server.
Without his help, I’d have never known that “Media Orchard” was really just a re-spelling of “Admired Roach.” You know – that adorable little pest that you can’t seem to shake.
There must be truth to these – as “Occam’s RazR” yields “Czar’s Macro,” loosely translated as “The shortcut fit for a king!” That’s making better communication simple.

Sudoku.
It’s a logic puzzle that involves placing numbers or letters in a grid such that you get no repeating characters within a given row, column, or highlighted grid.
I got a book of puzzles for Christmas, and things finally slowed down enough I could check it out.

Hair-raising Legal Issues

Legal disclaimers are often annoying, and sometimes hilarious.
The Bumpit is a toothed, plastic arc that is embedded near the scalp to provide the illusion of more voluminous hair.

The Accidental Tourist

Usually, I have a good idea why people come to this site.
I use the free Sitemeter tool to track hits, and as I generally have low traffic and no ads, that’s decent enough for me.
Sitemeter tracks the last 100 visitors, and let’s me know (among other things) the page they hit, how long they stayed, More >

Shaking things up

It was time for a new look.
I liked the old look, but there was something about the old “old look” that was missing.
Yet, the “old” old look lacked several features.
This look will get some tweaking in the meantime.

Cool. Didn’t remember that tool at WordSmith.org. It does have a number of neat email functions, too:

(Where you can ask for a definition via email, and it’ll email you back.)
