Merge / Consolidate Your Amazon.com Accounts, I Dare You
Can anyone tell me why Amazon won’t let me consolidate two accounts together, even though they both belong to me and I can easliy prove it? I’ve written them three times, but I get the same generic answer each time: That there are “security concerns” that prevent them from offering this to their customers.

A Year in Review: 2003 at Smith & Gardner
One year in one journal entry: Even in a boring year, it’s an impossible task—in 2003, so inconceivable it’s laughable. However, sometimes even when success is impossible, you learn from trying. I think I’ve grown a little this year. That’s a good thing. I’m 31 now; it had to start some time. But starting at the ending will lead nowhere. So let me go back and start my story of the year that was, from the beginning.

Writer’s Block
I don’t have any writing in me. I have done interesting things, I’ve thought interesting thoughts, I’ve spent time with interesting people, but I’m blocked from writing. I feel particularly bad about this episode of drypen, because I recently told my students that there was no such thing as Writer’s Block.

Unpacking
I just got back from a long Christmas (I can say that, can’t I? I didn’t just go on a Happy Holiday…) vacation, and I’m unpacking. By unpacking, I mean, I’m finding things to distract me from unpacking, which in turn is all that stands between me and cleaning the cat litter.
