So, I said I was going to do a “Daily Links” feature, but I thought that (at least sometimes) I’d expand that to include a look at everything currently going on in my life, not just the currently open tabs on FireFox.

First, what I have open in FireFox, with plans to read or at least skim or close after I’ve ignored for several days:

• My usual suspects of tabs that I always have open: my LJ friends page; the local NWS forecast together on a page with several local weather maps; a page with several national weather maps, Google Calendar; my TiddlyWiki where I organize such things as my to-do list, exam schedules and grades and the plot/scene outline of my latest movie
• I’ve also had the Facebook Mob Wars application open for a while, it’s kind of a boring game but oddly addictive
• I have a couple of pages from HuntingtonDMA.com open to remind me that I have several things I should be doing there, like editing a page to reflect a change we made in a posting policy, as well as creating a page for a user/classmate to post some videos from an animation workshop
• An article on the California Progress Report website about the planned High-Speed Rail system in that state (I have a Google Alert for “high-speed rail,” so I read/skim a fair number of HSR stories a day, probably making me one of the more informed citizens on this issue)
• A story on the Variety website called “Screenwriters Strike Back” about how some screenwriters are going straight to the web and skipping dealing with the studios
• AskaNinja.com, seriously funny, and wicked good editing skillz, too
• Several pages I’ve been meaning to glance through about backing up WordPress databases plus pages of different WordPress themes
• An article on The Independent website entitled “Music industry to tax downloaders“
• An article on sfgate.com called “California high-speed rail builders should learn French“
• Another article from The Independent called “Riches in the Arctic: the new oil race” (a prospect I find sickening and hugely ironic: global warming caused by the burning of CO2 melts the Ice Cap and we move in and drill for the oil that we couldn’t get to before! Does anyone else see a little bit of an issue with this possibility?)
• A The Independent article called “Obama comes to Europe“
• Several pages to do with this blog and my search for fixes to a few of the errors I’ve been encountering
• A blog post titled “The enemy of my enemy is Light Rail on a blog that advocates for Personal Rapid Transit

I don’t usually have this many FireFox tabs open, but it happens sometimes. Now, I am going to quickly run through the other “snapshot” items in my life right now, as it’s late and I want to watch an ep of 24 before I hit the sack for the night:
Current music: “Recent Favorites (last 3 months)” iTunes playlist, current song: Schism by Tool.
Last activity: watched the movie Say Anything followed by laughing about life until 3:38am with my wonderful family.
Next activity: watching Season 3, Episode 2 of 24 my new favorite TV show.
Current mood: happy about life. I was feeling sick and therefore kinda down the last couple of days, but this evening I began to feel much better. Let’s hear it for family movie time and nearly a gallon of water drunk today.

Love and peace,
