This is seems to be turning into a weekly thing for me..

According to The Yankee Dixie Quiz I’m :66% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score! (Stands to reason, I suppose) [via linkfilter]

Update:
Since the url for the quiz quit working, I copied the page to my server. You can find it here: Yankee Dixie Quiz

Anyway, here’s what I’ve been looking at this week:

The Ant Lion Pit: Nifty information and videos about Ant Lions, or doodlebugs.
Salt Mines Under Detroit: Pictures and information about the “City of Salt” below Detroit (doesn’t display in FireFox for me ) [via MemePool]
Crimson Editor: A free php/html editor [via Podz via Worpress Forum]

I’ve also got a backlog of flash movies that I want to call to your attention, but that will have to wait. Perhaps tomorrow…

I’ve added a local weather doo-dad, in the sidebar. I think it’s nifty.
You can view it with all options enabled here, and you can get the source and instructions to add to your own Wordpress site here.

let me know if you’re using it, or if you have any questions or problems here or in the comments.

Update: I’ve changed the link to point to a new file updated to be a plugin for wordpress 1.2 and up!
get it while the getting is good!

Update2: if you want just the weather.php file (without the language strings and icons) you can get it here.

Update3: if you want to change the language, you can edit the “language.php” file. here are some: contributed translations.

I wasted 15 min of my life taking this personality test, so I figured I may as well post the results.. I leave it as an exercise for those who know me to judge the accuracy..

Saw this “Pin Clock” on geekpress just now.
Coolest thing ever. I want one!

What’s got to be going through your head to do something like this?

Apparently, 25 year old Charles McKinley didn’t want to pay $320 for a plane ticket home, so he decided to pack himself
into a coffin sized crate and ship himself right to his parents door at a cost of $550 to his employer.

Peoples is stoopid.
