2. That's a good one!
I just thought of another: Discovering how bad daytime TV is. So you aren't really missing anything when you do have a job.

4. Yes, that's my site.
Also my wife's site.

It started out, years ago, as a way for me to learn HTML and play around a bit. Now it's grown into a huge catchall place -- advertising, essays, stuff that amuses me, links, stuff.

5. Slashdotted!
Someone put up a link on Slashdot to my article. The page is getting an amazing number of hits, and I'm getting an amazing number of e-mails.

Kind of amazing.
