Hardly Room for all the Big Heads

The Geek is having one of her Instructables published too!
She got this letter the other day.

Congratulations!

Hey there,

Instructables is trying something new! We're turning some of our guides into eBooks that will be available for kindle and iBooks readers. They'll also be free to any Instructables pro member through the site. This means we'll be getting your awesome projects out to a new audience and even more people to share.

One of your Instructables was chosen for a collection of solar projects. If for some reason you would rather not be included just PM me and let me know.


Congratulations again on being a part of the ongoing improvements at Instructables and thank you for sharing your project!

Best,
Jason

Wow! I'm to be Published

I received this email today.
"Hello, Sox.

Congratulations!

Your Instructable has been selected for inclusion in an Instructables eBook. We're taking some of our Guides to the next level, and converting them into an eBook format to better share Instructables projects with a wider audience.

You'll get a copy of the eBook, which you can share with friends and family -- especially those with iPads.

You can see a draft of the eBook here: http://www.instructables.com/id/OEXKBDOGH8A5HPH/
Before publishing the eBook, I will be writing up a description of the projects and a link back to Instructables.com

We hope you're as excited as us, and wanted to reach out to let you know this was happening.

If you don't want to be included for any reason, please write back and let us know by Dec. 9.

Cheers,
Instructables Robot"

This is the instructable that will be featured, so the Geek will be famous too! http://www.instructables.com/id/Sew-a-Propellor-Equipped-Beanie/

And don't worry. I won't forget all the people I knew 'before'.

What Goes Around....

One of the neighbours is having his roof re-shingled. Yesterday one of the roofers parked his big, dilapitated, rattletrap truck behind our house - and left a whole pile of Red Bull and Rockstar cans, and other garbage behind. I went over to the neighbour's house and asked that the person in question please not park behind our house today. The only response was another Rockstar can on the parking pad.
This morning, when the Geek left for work, she found a huge tow truck blocking the lane. It was in the process of hooking up to the truck. And behind the truck, was an unmarked police car and a constable writing up a whole pile of safety infractions for the yahoo who drives that beast.
Justice can be swift!
