A couple of readers pointed out that the unofficial Penny Arcade feed was on the fritz. I’ve fixed it, made it smarter about how it collects data, and added links back to the PA home and merchandise pages.

Another reader asked whether he could get a higher resolution version of the hummingbird photo for use as a desktop background. I’ve updated the post with a link to the original image file along with a license and a donation box.

Finally, since we’re trying to get rid of some stuff around here (some of it rather desperately), I’m working on transforming the iWalt.com Store into more of a flea market. If you or anyone you know wants our stuff, please take it! =-)

Rachelle was interviewed by the show Eight Forty-Eight for Chicago Public Radio. The interview was spawned by a post of Chicago food sites for Chicagoist, of which Rachelle is an editor.

I just wrote a nice, long post about our new place which included many thanks to Dad and Art and Rob for helping us get our stuff over here, a couple of hilarious observations on the various shortcomings of our new home, and a denunciation of U-Haul and their disgusting bait-and-switch tactics… and then I lost the whole damn thing. Good night everybody.
