I have always enjoyed making people laugh. In my family -- my significant peer group for the first many years of my life -- that was rather easy. As I've grown I've begun to realize that not everyone thinks I'm funny. Some would have probably picked up on this earlier in life but I'm kind of a slow learner sometimes.
Currently on a quest to create 365 blogs entries in a single year. While I've already failed in the time period specified I'm still going to complete my goal, eve if it's late.

T-355 : Funny Guy?
I have always enjoyed making people laugh. In my family -- my significant peer group for the first many years of my life -- that was rather easy. As I've grown I've begun to realize that not everyone thinks I'm funny. Some would have probably picked up on this earlier in life but I'm kind of a slow learner sometimes.
T-356 : More Words
I mentioned before that I like learning, books, and words. I briefly considered majoring in linguistics in college. Here are some evidences:
- Scrabble - I really like playing online Scrabble. The best place to play online is at Facebook. Are you a Scrabbler? Wanna go?
- Mispronouncers - I get a kick -- sometimes it actually bothers me -- out of hearing people pronounce words incorrectly. Some examples are: counsole, expecially, farmiliar, foryer, jaguire, nucular, pronunciate, reoccurring, realator. Are you guilty of any? Am I wrong? I see that all the words are underlined in red squigglies but for "reoccurring". Maybe I missed one.
- Google Reader - I enjoy news. Google Reader is my news aggregator of choice. You should try it!
T-358 : Eternally January?
~ Henry Ward Beecher
I'm a day late and a month short in sharing this. But maybe we can all have more "first day of January" moments throughout the year. If you need another excuse, tomorrow is Chinese New year. I'm certainly kicking into gear more on blogging today, in case you haven't noticed. Is it too much? Just look at the pictures! I always like to include one.
T-359 : Maury or Oprah?
T-361 : Space Snow
U.S. Snowstorm Seen From Space: Wild Weather Captured By NASA (PHOTOS)
I've got a lot of good posts queued up ready to publish. This one seemed timely enough to share now. Maybe it'll spur more posts sooner than later.

As you can see from this blurry camera phone photo shot on the way to work this morning we missed the snowstorm but we do have temperatures hovering near 20 below! That's what makes us tough!
