In a search for the name of the feather in a Cavalier hat, I discovered the Hat DIctionary.

Much to my surprise, I discover that I have worn a chaplet.

I need more hats!

(No, I didn’t find the answer to my question, but as it wasn’t my question originally, I’m not certain there is an answer.)

Regarding WV being up for sale on E-Bay, I invite you to read this post from Hillbilly Sophisticate.

If you search Google for “They’re happy because they eat lard” my website is the first to come up.

At least I get to be first in something.

Oh, here’s the picture.

My favorite thing about that picture is the memory of attempting to explain it to my Chinese friends… This is why the only Chinese word I know is “pig fat”.

I really like language hat. And this post is no exception.

For those of you who missed the news, someone attempted to sell the WV on e-bay.

I heard the news yesterday morning as we were leaving for work, which worked out very well, as I used it in my Internet Explorer class as an example of “Yes, you can find just about anything for sale on E-Bay.”

Even better, the bidding was just short of the projected state defecit…perhaps they’re on to something?

(This news was also covered by S. at Hillbilly Sophisticate.)

The Braxtonian has also weighed in on the sale of the state.

There is a collection of photographs of Russia, taken in the early 1900s. They are colorized through a technique developed by the photographer.

This is absolutely fascinating, as there are many photographs of people, as well as architecture and landscape.

The website describes the process of how the photographs were taken, and how they were viewed in color at the time.
