The 90s edition of the Trivial Pursuit game is played with icons from a not so distant past. The Palm team (Lightspeedchick and I) won against the DotComs and the KurtCobains.

Of course, you can’t play a game with a bunch of bloggers with cell phones without seeing it automatically posted on Flickr. Can’t wait for the blogging related questions in the year 2000+ version of Trivial Pursuit!

We’ve all done it during the holidays: hitting the blogging wall. Patrick from I never knew describes very well what it’s like to explain to non-blogging people how blogging is integrated into your life. Now try to explain that you met your s.o. through a blogging get-together and look at the puzzled and sometimes condescending smiles that appear on people’s faces. I guess we’re all freaks and geeks but hey, as long as we’re having fun…

These kinds of mornings are the reason why the week between Christmas and New Year’s day is my favorite week of the year. Work and various projects are suspended in time, the new year seems (somewhat naively) full of promise, there’s a lot of cooking going on in the house, lots of time for reading big books and watching movies, hanging out with friends and family and taking long walks in the snow.

And then there’s the knowledge that this kind of happiness is brittle and could be taken away in a few minutes.
