EWM’s been on hold for a whole week.  I’d like to think blog-time will
\nopen soon.  Or else what? Got three books piled up for the weekend and
\nsemester-end projects, conceptually formed as they are, requiring a hard pry to
\nloosen them into keystroke-motion. <\/p>\n

So it’s not an official hiatus, just a holding pattern.  Meanwhile, it’s
\nnot like there’s nothing else to check on the net.  Today’s web
\nzen<\/a> on earworms<\/a>
\nis a fine distraction (particularly this<\/a>,
\nthis<\/a>, this<\/a>
\nand this<\/a>). 
\nAnd there’s this insightful quiz (via geek-guides<\/a>)
\nwhich tells me my file type is j-peg.  Decisive category-maker must have
\ncome when I answered that I’d rather burn my eyes with a hot poker than read another
\nbook.  Heh…kidding?  Back to it. <\/p>\n
