That promised post about stuff besides books
So yeah, I’ve actually been doing things besides purchasing books lately, I swear! The Great Enshrinkening of Anna proceeds apace, even if not quite as quickly as initially planned. As I enthused on Twitter and Facebook this morning, I hit 164 pounds today! Which is well and easily the lightest I’ve been in five years,…

Can any other Nook users with Macs repro this?
Standing down from silent running for this, because I gotta admit, I’m intrigued by this problem. This is how you tell I’m a QA engineer, people: I’m intrigued by the problem to solve, rather than pissed off that a product I’ve purchased is not behaving as it should. 😉 Here’s the backstory. The other day,…

Site update and domain name redirect
Folks, just wanted to note that as of this evening, I’ve moved angelakorrati.com into the small network of blogs I’m now running off the same install of WordPress 3.0.
