Hi, I'm not back to blogging - I just had a question for you. What's your favorite book? Can be a classic you read long ago, or something still in hardback that you just finished. I listen to audiobooks on my way to work, thanks to my local library. I've listened to about everything they have that I know I wanted to read, and I'm nearly to the point of just picking random books.

Well, I've not been known to do things halfway. This goes for baking and now blogging. Deciding that I should spend more time in the real world, I am ending my blog. I may visit other blogs from time to time to say hello, but that's about it.

So nobody wants to comment on books? That's fair - it's hard to find time in our modern world for books. Most everyone watches television to some extent. The only show I'm into now (and have been since the beginning) is The Amazing Race. This season's a little dry, but I love the competition of these things. Travelling is one of the most difficult situations on a relationship, which makes

Ok, I'm not going to say "don't read this book." I'll just go with "don't read this book unless you like teenage romance novels combined with a bit of WWII historical detail and a lot of added fluff, where by fluff I mean over detailed description of every scene and a whole lot of plot that doesn't matter a bit to the book's core theme." The book is The Great Fire, and I read it for a book club

I'd like to meet lurkers. Don't be shy, say something. I know you're out there (my web counter tells me so). Feel free to use the Anonymous account. If you'd like to talk about something in particular, the topic I choose is: trees.

Just wanted to post a note thanking the Fort Bragg Safeway. Good tomatoes are generally hard to find - grocery stores generally go for the picked green and artificially ripened type. The fresh, just picked tomatoes are only available at farmers' markets or from your own garden. This Safeway actually sold fresh-picked, heirloom tomatoes. Sure they were more expensive than the normal rubber,

I might try beer brewing, if my wife will let me. My only previous try was something called beer-in-a-bag. You boil some water, add it to this large canvas bag, and hang it up somewhere. After a week or so it ferments, the bag becomes pressurized, and you have beer. Something went wrong with mine. I hung it in the kitchen, and after a few days it exploded. I mean exploded. We weren't

Well, end of the english speaking world. That's where I'm at. Each evening the blog world, halfbakery world, and general internet world slows down. It's the least interesting part of the day, as I know it won't start up again until I'm asleep and the web won't change much until then. Sure there's the occasional Aussie that will stir things up, but other than them and those of us on the west

I had always considered sailing to consist of rich couples with little else to do with their money than search for a new place to sip wine. Then about a year ago I went whale watching with a friend and saw the sport in a new light. There were many sailboats that could get much closer to the whales due to their lack of motors, and I imagined these families enjoying a quiet weekend on the sea -

1. Add audioblog feature to be able to call in and listen to audioblogs, and perhaps even voiceified text blogs. This would allow me to call in from work or on the road while bored. 2. Annoyances I've listed on k_sra's blog. I think they included editing comments, and removing the need to hit "refresh" all the time. Ok, that's all for now. I was going to add that I'd like a way to find

After trying out this whole blog thing, I realized I have a better time interacting with others rather than just posting. For instance, I posted an anno on Dag's blog about the time a security guard thought I was flying to a wedding and staying in a tent. I told myself "Self, this would make a good blog posting. Don't waste it as an anno." But myself responded "Yeah, but this is more fun. I

I'm off to the California coast to do some camping. I'll be back tuesday. Just thought I'd mention it in case you think I'm just neglecting my blogging duties. I guess I'll phone in an audio blog if anything interesting happens.

Bev is an interesting creature on the Halfbakery. Her life seems a bit like a novel, the details of which are all needed to understand some of the postings on the Halfbakery. I thought I'd summarize them here for reference.I first met Bev at the 'bakery bed-in. She's a she, from Portugal, and has nice teeth and hair. She calls me Fifi, [GutPunchLulubies] LuLu, and her assistant Bubu. She has a

What is this? Let's look a little closer. Hmmm... Still can't tell. Let's look closer still. Wonderful that someone did this. I knew it as a halfbakery idea, but [django] pointed out that it's baked. I'm glad a human arm flapping powered blimp exists. I think it makes this world a little bit better.

I think it's time to get to know my reader(s). Please answer the following questions. 1. How many sibling do you have / have you had? 2. What is your favorite type of dog? 3. If someone gave you a tortoise, what would you name it? 4. How many ways are there to skin a cat? 5. How many hours a day do you spend driving? 6. What is your favorite texture? 7. List your favorite thing that you do

It's about time. This should make them even lighter, which is good. Not to mention the whole fuel savings thing (though my wife's scooter already gets 100 mpg). Everyone should have a scooter.

I hereby call for a game of blogtag. I have tagged [k_sra], so she is it. She must now find where I've added the comment "tag" somewhere on her blog and report back here with the exact location I tagged her. Then she can tag someone else, posting who she tagged here. It's also advised to let the tagged person know they are tagged, or they may end up being it forever. As I know [k] visits

Jerry Aldini thinks my title is a terrible play on words. Ok, I can take criticism. I've used Worldgineer as my login name, my last name, and my blog name. Clearly I'm lacking in originality. I hereby request my talented reader(s) to propose a new blog name. If nothing good is suggested, I'll use one of these: A Blog in the Blog of Blog The Blogtastic Adventures of Worldgineer Bloggineer

Last night I saw Danny Deckchair. Austrailia seems to be very good at heartwarming stories at the moment, and this one falls right into place. It's a real ugly duckling story about what might have happened to Lawn Chair Larry if he had landed somewhere nice. It's a nice little family movie that I enjoyed, but will likely forget in a few months.

I think [k_sra] has convinced me to start up an actual blog. Don't be expecting a lot. I may only post once a week, and I may never post anything interesting. You're just going to have to be ok with that, or go do something else instead. I may post more often and find an interesting tidbit every now and then, but let's not set the bar too high. Here's the complete history of my mini-blog on my
