Shout Outs

I think it's time to give a little shout out to all my friends. Well, the ones who've made recent changes to their online presence anyway:

So Very Varied

Ian's blog has a new name and a new format. Check it out for craft & decorating ideas, music recommendations, and recipes. He's good with power tools, is a fabulous cook, and once re-purposed sale-rack clothes into a messenger bag . If I were a man I would so try to steal him from Bobby. Speaking of Ian and Bobby...

Ian & Bobby's Adoption Website

Do you know someone who is facing an unexpected pregnancy and is considering adoption? Consider Ian and Bobby.

The Becks

Scott and Irene are now part of the blogosphere! They're engineers. They take artsy photos. They like Rodrigo y Gabriela. They're going to hike Longs Peak. They're cool!

Mike's Art (MySpace)

Long-lost friend Mike recently got back in touch and is now devoting his life to his art--check it out. Note to at-work viewers: this page is musical.

As for me, I'm now addicted to Flickr Stats. I can log on and see a daily breakdown of which of my photos were viewed and how people got there. I get a lot of traffic from unjobs.org, since I tend to have photos of third-world countries. Also, people have arrived at my photos by searching for "tonsils", "drag prom", "drag college", "bavarian dance" and "grabbing boobs?".

And in case you care, I'm taking the week off from running. I think I slightly injured my calf during my long run, and then definitely injured it on my Tuesday run (I think it was the "hooray! I'm done!" downhill sprint). Hopefully a week won't undo all my progress.
