Ugh, I’m trying to pay for my domain name fees before the 13th, and I just created the Paypal account.  I was able to get the money to Paypal, but now it has to wait 3-4 business days.  It’s gonna be a nail biter as I got the fees in Wednesday night.  In the meantime, Brian was able to help me to install widgets on the sidebar, and now I have all sorts of cool stuff over on the right side, including my donate button.  I think that’s the last time I’m going to mention donations for this post.  Begging just puts a pall on the whole site that tinges the blues to a gray.

 In other news, I did look up on Wikipedia the rubber duck.  It’s a great article that talks about Ze Frank, which leads me to this story.  About three weeks ago I am in the office and a group of people walk by for a meeting or training or something and I hear the usual ooohs and ahhhs to the rubber ducks that sit atop my cubicle.  A lady and a gentleman about my age take a moment to stop in my cube and talk to me about the ducks.  As the gentleman takes a few pictures to send home to his wife, the lady asks me if I ever watched ZeFrank’s podcast, which I wouldn’t of even known about if I hadn’t heard about him from TWiT and http://twit.tv/itn.  I said I had heard that he was no longer podcasting daily and she singsonged me what he says about rubber ducks.  Quriky, if you ask me, but it’s fun to have a ready made conversation opener for anyone who stops by.
