Week #6, Del.icio.us and Technorati
I set up a del.icio.us account today and I think it's pretty cool. So far, I only have a few of the homepages listed for some of my favorite authors, but it is handy to have all of the links in one place.
I also played around a bit on the technorati site and I think it is ok if someone is willing to wade through all of the results for tags that they look for to find something that is actually relevant, but it is not really a website for me. It seemed to me to take longer to find things of relevance through the tag searches than looking for things the traditional way, but that may be just me. :-)
I'm going to explore it some more and see if is just operator error and there is a faster way to sort through the results or if I am just old fashioned and don't have the patience to dig through results. We shall see! :-D

Thursday Morning Commute Rant... (not MD 23 related)
This morning, I almost died on the way to work. Here's how it all went down:
I was getting onto 895 from Ritchie Hwy to go to work up in White Marsh and behind me was this minivan. Then this dirty-green minivan gets closer and closer until it is so far up my bumper that it's driver can read the books I had in the backseat. He continues to ride me like a bad donkey and gets super pissed when I let someone else in front of me. (The other person used a blinker and I am a nice person, so I let them over.) The crazed minivan gets so close that I can't even see the hood of the minivan then he gets over in the land that was ending and kept swerving into my lane, threatening to RAM me! I mean, the lane that he got over into was the "This lane ends in a couple of feet lane" and then he got pissed that I wouldn't let him over!!! He wasn't even using a blinker!!! I had to drive on the shoulder to let him pass and then he gives me THE DOUBLE BIRD! I mean, this 70+ year old, bushy-eyebrowed, handicap-tag, kamikaze minivan driving maniac FLIPPED ME THE DOUBLE BIRD! Let me tell you, I was not a happy driver. If I was a petty person, I would have high-beamed him all the way through the tunnel, but I am not, so I didn't. I mean, I am not going to lie, but thought about high-beaming the hades out of him, but my going-thru-the-tunnel mantra was "I am a better person than him. I am a better person than him. I am a better person than him." I also had to stop myself from calling all of my friends that are law enforcement agents (State Troopers, Transit Cops, etc) to pull this maniac over. I wasn't able to stop myself from smiling though when a county cop followed him off his exit.
Anywho, that's how my morning went. I just thought I'd share, just in case anyone is on 895 and happens across this very same kamikaze, overly-agressive, bushy-eyebrowed, dirty-green minivan-driving, double-bird-flipping, handicap-tagged senior citizen.
Here's to a good commute home! :-D
