With the HKMoCD fully digitized, self-aggrandizement returns to its usual drudgery.

Two items I would have blogged about, but didn’t as the site was museumified, though it was probably just as well since they aren’t actually all that interesting anyway:

1. While washing dishes, it occurred to me suddenly that Diagon Alley, Harry Potter’s stomping ground and the home of such fine purveyors as Flourish & Blotts and Gringott’s Wizarding Bank, was a play on the word “diagonally”. About five years to figure that out; yes, I’m a quick one.

2. Also after having neglected to head to the dentist (due to moving, starting Cyan, etc.) for about 18 months, and, frankly, having taken rather poor care of my teeth during that time in general, I finally hit the dentist, fully expecting the worst. Miraculously, I walked away not only cavity-free, but having been praised for my obviously careful and diligent dental hygiene habits. Out of guilt, I have resolved to start flossing regularly. (Or, at least, to purchase dental floss.)
