Wet Wookiee
Some friends of mine and I were discussing some interesting questions the other day over a game of water basketball. What does a wet Wookiee look like? For that matter, how does a Wookiee dry itself? Does it use a hair dryer, a large towel, or does it shake itself dry like a dog? Or maybe a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, they had some special technology that allowed for super-efficient Wookiee-drying? Maybe George Lucas should have included some more info on this topic in the newer movies, instead of adding that Jar Jar Binks thing to the mix. And the dreaded question is, what would a wet Wookiee smell like? Can you even imagine?

Google Reader
I usually just manually go to my favorite blogs and news sites to read the new stuff that has been posted, but a friend recently informed me of Google Reader, so I thought I would give it a shot. So far I am pretty impressed with how well it works and how easy it is to use. I even made it my homepage so I can get all the news right away. I think I’ll use this for a while. It has already grown on me, and now I can clean up some of my bookmarks. Make sure to subscribe to this one, no matter what you use: xkcd.com!
