Going to work this morning, I noticed how the little bypass road that I usually take is starting to be developed heavily. Up until now, it’s always just been mostly farmland and a couple of big “estates” — you know, those fancy houses with two stories and a _huge_ front yard. There’s always been a tiny bit of development going on — a few strips of stores, a single subdivision, etc.

Lately though, the level of development has stepped _way_ up.

(At this point, I had a lot more written about this point, including how allusions to Nelson DeMille’s book “The Gold Coast” and everything, but I lost it. Don’t worry how. Just believe me that it was great.)

My weekend’s going to be busy, but at least I don’t have to travel anywhere, except to the local Wal-Mart to get enough oil for oil changes for all three of our cars, and maybe Autozone for some spark plugs, and maybe Daylight Donuts for some, well, breakfast.

In case you were wondering, I’ve got some other sites that you might be interested in (this is mostly for you-know-who):

*1) http://mdm-adph[dot]blogspot[dot]com*
There’s “http://mdm-adph[dot]blogspot[dot]com” (feel free to replace the [dot]‘s with periods). This is my work blog — I’m not hotlinking it here for obvious reasons (referrers can be tracked, and I’d rather not let my employers pick up on anything personal that I write).

I write about mostly tech-related subjects here, keeping firmly away from the areas of personal life or politics. I know they’re probably logging everywhere I surf to at work, so I make sure and keep this blog clean.

2) “http://threshold-zero.com/blog”:http://threshold-zero.com/blog
This will soon be a new blog of mine, or a place where I’ll put specific types of entries (movie reviews, book reviews, etc.). Really, I just wanted to use the new version of “Movable Type”:http://movabletype.org that was recently released, because it’s finally gone free again.

3) “http://threshold-zero.com”:http://threshold-zero.com
This is probably where I’m going to tie all of my sites into to — I bought this domain name about a year ago, and even though I haven’t done anything with it yet, I’ve grown rather attached to it. (There’s nothing there now, of course!)

4) “http://gallery.macnahanchey.com”:http://gallery.macnahanchey.com

I’m trying to make this into a members-only photo-sharing site for members of my family, but I (and they) have been slow to get together and start putting pictures up. (By the way, if any of you are reading and need help putting some pictures here, feel free to ask for help.)

4) “http://board.macnahanchey.com”:http://board.macnahanchey.com

This is going to be the same kinda thing, just for messages and posts instead of pictures.

And that’s about it!
