I couldn’t find a resource for live steam coal, so I’m going to create one. Feel free to let me know of any suppliers that you know - even if it’s just a guy that has a bunch in the back yard. Be sure to also let me know if the links die.

Yeah, I’ve been away - Mostly on Facebook, but Facebook is so private that some of the things I want to share are not available to the search engines and the world at large. I’m back, shorter posts, but more often for sure…

It’s official - I like Facebook. A bunch of my friends are jumping on, and it’s starting to get interesting. Now if they could figure out how to serve interesting ads, I might support them. I’m afraid though, that the bigger it gets, the more in the red it will go until it joins the legions of other dot bombs.
Please prove me wrong. Please figure it out - it has taken a long time to get my links and friends together. I really don’t want to have to do it again. If you are going to die though, please give me some notice so that I can at least grab everyone’s contact info. Thank you.

I ran across these guys and I was surprised to see that surfer music is still alive. You can check them out at www.acousticsurfmusic.com
I have a friend who posted on her first day of her new workout, which got me thinking about Boot Camp, and other diet fads, and here’s one I think I could do. Let me know if you want to sign up:
Los Angeles Diet
Give me your schedule and some money. Periodically I’ll have a weirdo stalk you as you walk to your car. I’ll be sure to rotate weirdos so that you don’t know whether it a hired weirdo or a real weirdo. For a little more, he can step up to your window at a light, and knock. If you get the window knock, I think I can throw in some weird phone calls for free. Fire and earthquakes are not included in the base package.
All of this would get your heart rate going, probably increase your metabolism, all while decreasing your appetite.
The other thing about this cool diet is that it works better for women than men. Ready to sign up?

Sometimes gloves are the best thing when you need to keep your hands warm. How often do we find ourselves over-engineering the obvious.
Check out this gem from The Daily WTF…

If you’re so smart, come work for us.
Phil Wendley posted about scaling problems at Twitter, and finished with a quote from Al3x who said, “If you’re so smart, come work for us.” I love that. I hope that it works, and they are really open to new ideas and perspective. It makes all the difference in the world.

From the grass is always greener dept….
“Hey, we own the auction space. How about if we stop doing that and try to compete with someone else.”
WAKE UP! Ebay = auctions. Amazon = other stuff. If I want to just buy stuff, I’ll go to Amazon. If it’s the same price as ebay, I’ll buy it at Amazon. I’ll always look to ebay first though - because that’s where the bargains are.
If you want to turn around ebay, bring back the bargains. Make it cheap for sellers to sell anything. I list stuff on Craigslist because ebay is too expensive. Make it so cheap that I can buy a block of auction fees for $20 and then sell anything I want. Start with free and go up from there. i.e I have boxes. I can ship them or you can pick them up. Shipping is $x.xx per box. Let people bid on the boxes that I was going to give away for free. If it goes for free, no charge. If I get money, I share it - Once. I should be able to get this for just the paypal fee or the ebay fee. Requiring me to use both is painful and inefficient. Efficient markets succeed. Inefficient markets fail. The problem at ebay is not that Amazon is too good.
Stupid - stupid - STUPID!

I never thought I would say it, but I miss Teriyaki Stix. Even if they only have food half the time (funny post), I miss them. I’ll just have to settle for In-N-Out I guess.

Well I’ve been here almost two months, but the state welcomed me with an earthquake this morning. It wasn’t too bad, and even kind of fun. Details here:
