A corny neologism…
So, I’m watching Grace at recess before computer lab, and the trees are dropping acorns. I was about to point out to her that the acorns are baby trees, but that’s not entirely accurate. The are more tree fetuses. Treetuses, if you will.
And, the kids over there stomping on acorns? They are performing acortions.

Time to empty the 2blog folder
For those who care, I have really, *really* short names for my bookmarks toolbar folders — for instance, my leftmost folder, which contains links that I visit daily, is labelled simply ‘1’. I use foxmarks to keep my bookmarks synchronized between all my browsers, and I use the “Add Bookmark Here2” plugin to just add pages to that 2blog folder when I come across a page I want to share later.
Then, once it gets overwhelmingly large, I just copy the links from that folder to a post.
