The party is over. The decorations are down, and large quantities of beef and sausage have been consumed. I entered the party with the intention of taking a few pictures during the day, thinking I wouldn’t do more than 50 or so, but at the end of the day when they were all transferred, the total was around 700 exposures, at about 1000MB. I’m hoping to get them sorted out and post a few tomorrow. After I post some here, I guess I have to make about 5 copies of the pictures on CD to distribute to party guests.

In the past few days I joined Digg, Del.icio.us, and a few other communal dumping grounds, thinking that they would  help me find my place in the blogosphere, but instead, they are just adding more clutter and becoming another useless tool that I have access to. I wouldn’t want to share my bookmarks with people I know, and certainly not with people I don’t know. I have tried working with Del.icio.us in Windows Live Writer, but all I can do is post all of my recent bookmarks, and that’s not useful to me at all. I like the idea of posting links, but not in that way. Something that would be more useful to me is the ability to provide something with a URL and let it get a preview of it, like the images, and maybe a few bits of text. I guess that’s what some of the other tools I have available to me are for. If anyone cares what I have bookmarked, have a look, I’m not shy, but I’ll warn you, the links are pretty lame: http://del.icio.us/kularski.

Just when you think that there are rules for every situation, something totally bizarre comes along and rocks the boat. I found a recent sports article very amusing, check it out:

Minor League Switch-Pitcher Sets Off Confusion

I think I have found the most useless Facebook application ever. Blog It by SixApart (powered by TypePad). It doesn’t seem to do anything unique. It connects to the Movable Type blog installation almost the same way I would manually, and then gives a really simplified editing tool. I don’t entirely get it. If anyone has found anything useful about it, I would love to hear from you.

Somehow someone ended up on my blog after searching Google for “average masturbation per week”. The answer wasn’t previously posted on my blog, but I became curious myself, so I did a little research. A survey of 10,000 males returned an average of 6.85 times per week for men between the ages of 20 and 35, decreasing by about 1.2 times per week for every 10 years after.
