It has come to my attention, through the gazillion articles about blogging that have been showing up recently, that I am deficient in my linkitude. After all, Blogs started out a forum for people to share cool things they'd found on the web, not a forum for me to complain about my teeth. So here's some making up for lost time:

Run Antarctica (courtesy of BarCodeKing)
On the one hand, the penguin-spotting opportunities are probably unparalleled. On the other hand -- 26.2 miles? In Antarctica? Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it hurt to breath deeply when it's really cold out? On the other hand -- Jane, you were looking for a trip to the Great White South. Wanna start training? (Maybe I can be on the support team, handing out cups of... ice, I would imagine)

The Hydra could have been based on fact.
Ok, that's a lie; but two-headed snakes aren't all that uncommon, apparently. They're also not all that fearsome. I love this quote: Even in captivity, there are problems. Snakes operate a good deal by smell, and if one head catches the scent of prey on the other's head, it will attack and try to swallow the second head. And I though my sisters had some vicious fights.

Eric, who I work with, has a blog. It's cool. A couple of other cool blogs I found (through the aforementioned articles about blogging) are BoingBoing and Mister Pants.

Finally, an IM conversation I had with Wendy today, which lends itself to both blogging and linking:
wendy: marshall thinks this is what the burglars are doing with my old computers - http://www.wired.com/news/mac/0,2125,50820,00.html
wendy: but with crack
sjerslix: Ah yes.
sjerslix: That may have to go into the blog :-)
wendy: I like the name of it. the ibong
sjerslix: Heh yeah
wendy: "We saw the MacQuarium and said, 'Let's put a bong inside one instead,'" Agapornis said. "We were probably stoned."
sjerslix: Hee

Am I a real blogger now? Well, am I?
