Buying domain names is addictive. Now I own amoderngirl.net (abortively considered for this website) and maiasaur.us, a duckbilled dinosaur. I have plans for Maiasaur.us! You will see.

My laptop is making a high-pitched squealing noise at random intervals. I am concerned. I’ve backed everything up, of course. To be honest, I’d probably have just put up with it, preferring to have my nerves ransacked by the noise than to live without my laptop for a week, but since classes are starting next week and I am unwilling to suffer squeaky indignities while taking notes in class, I’m going to have to send it in to IBM.
