This is my weblog... clicky on the linkies

My wife finally got her book up on Amazon!

It's called The Naturally Frugal Baby: Financial Survival Strategies and Tactics for Having a Baby without Going Broke. This is the Second Edition (the first edition was only available on Lulu.com) and has been extensively updated and revised. Yay for Amazon!

If you'd rather have bits instead of atoms, you can still get it in e-Book form from Lulu.com. You can get the book cheaper from Lulu.com as well, but as Peggy points out, if you take advantage of free shipping from Amazon it works out to be about the same price either way.

[UPDATE]: The best review yet comes from my friend Mike on Facebook, who shared the link and commented: "I'M NOT HAVING A BABY. My friend's wife wrote a book about making and raising babies on a budget, and since many of the people on my FB are hellbent on breeding, I'm posting the link."

My car is in the shop for some transmission work (yeah, I know, FUN), and in a spectacular display of timing we just donated our previous car to Minnesota Teen Challenge. So I'm carless and my friend Nathan has been giving me rides. Nathan listens to 89.3 The Current, which I don't usually bother with because they are too eclectic and they probably aren't going to play my current favorite guilty obsession songs.

A song came up. Everything is Everything by Booker T. Jones. You may remember Booker T. Jones as the front man for Booker T. and the MGs:

I recognized the organ sound immediately, and looked up at the new foofy radio in Nathan's car, which, though some wizardry, it was displaying the song, 10 characters at a time. It took 45 seconds to display the whole song name.

As soon as I got home I bought the song on iTunes. So there you go Marketers: a little piece of completely uncollectible market data for you.

And for everyone else, here is the song, which rules:

I set up a new weblog. This is it, you're reading it. I moved my old weblog and you can read that too if you want. The new blog has pullquotes, which I'm sure you're all excited about.

"Hey I installed new blog software" is pretty boring, so here's a picture of a snail on a basketball:
