A Knol and a Friend

I noticed a little news update on Blogger as I was signing in this morning. It mentioned a whole new way to write things online - a "knol." Or something like that. Who the hell knew? I thought a blog was your only option, but apparently you can write a whole different something with just as strange and made-up a name as blog! Oh, the edge of your seat excitement that exists in this modern age! What will the next new word be? Maybe wournal (boring entries about your daily activities) or bliary (a private blog that your 8 year old brother spends his afternoon trying to hack into)...

Seriously though, I'm now going to have to investigate this "knol" thing. It seems that it is less a place to express your random thoughts and more a place for laying down some how-to knowledge. Great idea - we all have those little secrets that could help a brother out. For instance, I know how to align two pieces of wood that just won't push into place with nothing but a hammer and screw. Curious? Well, I guess you'll have to search out my "knol" to learn the trick...

Last night our friend Meredith came over for dinner and beers. And a little Wii Wario Smooth Moves. (If you don't have it, get it. Seriously. It's the best game ever.) Meredith's rad. It's always such a wonderful experience to visit with friends you don't see enough. It reminds you of all the goodness that exists in people out in the world and of the many different lives that are going on that you aren't at all aware of. One more reason to greet everyone you encounter with a smile.
