an NDE while out for a stroll

August 14, 2006

Yesterday I went for a Sunday afternoon walk with a friend. There we were, crossing with the green light when my friend screams, and I look up to see a car coming right at me. Nice to know that I freeze in place when something like this happens.

If the driver had been going a little faster, I wouldn’t be here today. The sun was not in his/her eyes, we were in the crosswalk, and it was broad daylight. But I guess none of that matters anymore. Sheesh.

China and The Simpsons

When a friend hosted two students from China recently, she said they could not get enough of The Simpsons during their brief stay.

Looks like they were wise to get a good fix while they could.

will flickr folks be selling those pictures?

With four million Flickr users and their 200 million uploaded photos, that’s quite a database of images. But will customers be lining up to buy?
