Using the Power of the Internets

[affreca]

A couple of days ago, I followed a random link (from a nonlocal) to a website for a guy running for a seat in the Kansas House. A random mid thirties white guy, not terribly new. Except he's a computer guy, and knows the internet. So he has an XKCD style comic asking for donations. And the internet references are right (and the feel is almost XKCD). And now his site has hit fark.

In other news, didn't go biking in Johnson Country, because at six I had a headache. But it was under control by 8, so did the garage sales/farmers' market via bike. More garage sales than usual, I think because move day is coming. At the farmers market I got lemonade, bagels, corn, eggplants, shallots and garlic. Garage sale purchases included a bag of sewing notions, an old anime tape for Naka, a cool letter opener, a shirt and a Singer tiny serger. I doubt the serger has much power and it is missing the foot pedal, but I'm just interested in playing around with it.

Ah. I haven't gone to a garage sale in forever! I always see the signs for them in the summer and I used to be drawn to them like a moth to a flame, but I've learned to restrain myself - mainly because I would always buy some old wood furniture that needed to be repaired and refinished, but never got around to it. For some reason, I'm never interested in the small stuff. *sweatdrop*

I should probably avoid garage sales, as I rarely get anything I'm looking for, just random crap because it is cheap (wetsuit, sword, tiny serger and so forth). And sometimes there's cool stuff (the leaf pendant on your necklace came from a garage sale).

Yes - dangerous things garage sales are. *wise nod* Though I have to say that I love the pendant on the necklace!
