Fastr is a game that uses flickr images. It loads ten images that all share a common tag, one by one, and you guess what the tag is. When you guess right, the tag will turn blue. Then you can watch the pictures until the next set begins. The faster you guess, the more points you get. The points are reset every five minutes.

A couple of things worth mentioning happened to me this morning.
First off I dropped off Miss Lucille at her preschool and while on the way the back I was confronted with several Subaru driving assholes on the interstate. Nevermind the fact that I drive a much faster car yet do not feel the need to run down other cars and pass them going 100mph. I do not however drive a car that looks like a frickin' turtle.
Secondly we heard back ...

We're making some big changes here at Tinymeat and as you can see we have completely redesigned the blog from the ground up. The old layout served us well but this new one allows for more organization and a space to highlight new items we are working on for spring.
So scroll down the page, have a look around and let me know whatcha think.
So friday it was 6o degrees at one the ski areas here. Then saturday pouring rain all day. I stayed in the car as Bevs dumpster dived in Marshalls. Why do people insist on running through the parking lot with their bags on top of their heads, many with long pants dragging in the wet pavement and their midriffs exposed to the rain? It was quite amusing to say the least.
Snow last night and now near zero temps. The roller ...
