Saw the scariest thing on my drive into work today. Was at a stoplight behind a giant yellow schoolbus… with a big “STUDENT DRIVER” sign on the back. Eek! Watching them try to make a turn didn’t make me ever want to put my kid on a schoolbus. Ever.

Amanda and I have been pretty busy since we closed on the house. We’ve looked at flooring some, and I’ve started the ball rolling on fixing the windows (several of the double panes had broken seals). We’ve also done a fair bit of painting, sanding, staining, sealing, spackling, de-wallpapering, cleaning, landscaping… I’ve been trying to keep a pretty good photo log of our progress over in the gallery. Basically, I’ve got a full tour of the house as it was at closing, and then a separate album tracking our progress in each room. We’ve even managed to get some help from some of Amanda’s sibs, who’ve been very helpful.
So slashdot had an interesting IT review link today: Juvenile felis catus (or “kitten” for you laymen). Full of very cute pictures, a lot of tongue-in-cheek commentary, and links to all sorts of amusing/geeky/just plain weird sites (standard kitten package and CAT Users’ Manual). Oh, and he even provides a convenient summary comparison against competing models (i.e. puppies, babies, or a new video card). Now that Amanda and I have a house, we’ll get to start looking for kittens before long. 
Edit: Pulled a certain link because I didn’t want it to appear any higher on google’s ranking than necessary.
So, Amanda and I closed on the new house yesterday morning. We’re already starting to feel like homeowners. And by that, I mean we’ve already started tearing the place apart. For those that are interested, I’ve got some pictures up over in the gallery (taken with the new Digital Rebel).
