Darn, $100 and an iPod down the drain

Well, I suppose I could have filled out the surveys, but in the end it would be rather obvious I had no idea what I was talking about.... the 4gig iPod was what you got for filling out a survey on NPT on rigs (aka, non-productive time on automated oil rigs). Since I have no oil rigs, the questions got... confusing. Secondly, another trade paper wanted me to tell them all about managing ad sales on cable television. Alas, just a mere viewer, so there's $100 I can't grab. Darn.

Meanwhile, finished the book Head Case, which was definitely a fascinating study of brain injuries, traumatic and otherwise. Apparently there are some states which suck in treating injuries, and others which excel. And when I returned the book to the library, I saw the spider book back on the shelf (what? nobody wants to read about creepy crawlies so close to Halloween?) and then spied Manic, a book on bipolar disorder, so since I seem to be on an odd run of reading books on brains, I grabbed it, as well as Bastard Tongues, what appears to be a fascinating look into language differences.

Gonna fiddle with Filezille tonight to download websites AOL is gonna trash (I realized I've been using their websites since... oh, 2000? long time!)

Run, Woolly, Run! (another el cheapo weekend video production)
