I've been reading Trailing Technology lately, a blog by Scott Carney, a freelance writer who has written for magazines like Wired, etc before.
It's of interest to me personally because he lives in India, and it's fun to get his "outsider's view" on India, and current events in India. Always good stuff.
I'm also reading Sepia Mutiny recently too, for similar reasons.
I'm also very busy on working on the new house, which is why I've been so silent. Yesterday I was up until 23:45 installing blinds in my kids' rooms. We still haven't painted the windows in their rooms so the hardware's sitting in little yellow cups on the window sills. The heat outside creeps into the rooms during the day and makes the upstairs unbearable. Putting up blinds to keep the heat out will help, and my wife and I did that, drilling the posts and shims into the window frame, hanging the blinds, shortening them, and cursing the nimble fingers of the assemblers to tied the intricate knots in the bottom of each button holding the lift cords. But by this morning you could feel a noticable difference in each of their rooms, so it was all worth it.
Tonight I'm hanging the blinds in my room so I'm not flashing the neighbors while I get dressed, and assembling dressers. The house is coming together slowly, but I'm having a great time. I've wanted a house I could work on for a while, and I got what I wanted.
