Owing to my wife’s uncanny ability to either destroy or lose cards of all sorts in a staggeringly short amount of time, I was happy to come across this webtool that will let you create a single club card that duplicates the bar codes of up to eight individual cards. For my purposes, it is also handy for creating duplicates of existing cards. I can only vouch for the fact that it made a perfect working copy of a Kroger card (your mileage may vary).

The Web 2.0 Logo Creator is a nice bit of fun. Here is the web 2.0 version of this blog title:

It’s the flaming logo, spinning logo of the aught-sixes!

I came across this fantastic essay titled Climbing Mountains or Looking for Lakes that resonated with me quite a bit:

I’m a lake seeker, not a mountain climber. I’m looking for beauty and satisfaction, not prestige and achievement. It’s the same in all aspects of my life, like blogging. I blog for expression, connection, and conversation, not to break into the Technorati Top 100 and not to make money. I don’t look at my hit counts or subscriber numbers, except when I can’t avoid them or when I just can’t help myself. It’s not that I’m not competitive and it’s not that those things aren’t important and useful in some contexts. It’s that I’m temperamentally wired to look for what’s beautiful, peaceful, and comforting in the world. Paying attention to that other stuff makes me unhappy.
