I learned how to make a paper noisemaker today, during my sister’s birthday party. It’s rather interesting, actually.
That’s the finished product. Usage is as such:

Posterous
I was looking for a way to repost Aeturnalus posts on Facebook when I found this awesome service called Posterous It’s claim to fame is its ability to post anything via email to any service. You can even start now, just click this and type up a post. It will reply and ask you to sign up, after you’re signed up, you’ve got a blog (not a great one… but wtv) ready to go.
The feature I really liked about it, however, has nothing to do with email. Posterous has the ability to post to just about any online service, which means… Aeturnalus posts now reappear on Facebook!. Magical plugin for the integration is called “Posterize”. Even if you don’t use WordPress as your primary blogging tool, there are Posterous apps for just about all the services it supports, so pick the one you like and the rest will be updated automatically.
There are some problems with Posterous, the first of which comes to mind is the slow, one-by-one setup of logins for each service. They are not in one huge form, but jumbled around in many single forms. The actual Posterous blog doesn’t have the greatest design, but it’ll work for beginners.
If you have a blog, try out Posterous – at the very least, it’ll be less annoying to repost onto Facebook.
Why?
Why is it that happiness is naught but a lark,
fleeting away in the night?
Are the stars and the moon so hateful,
so joyless, so empty?
Illusions of caring, of friends, of family -
all shattered, all fallacious fantasy.
It wasn’t so long ago that
life’s promises seemed endless,
yet it is as days and nights pass
in their endless revolution,
as new knowledge is learned and
new ideas created,
that one realizes -
Ignorance is bliss.
Even the perfect family,
the place of indescribable,
unbreakable bonds,
is held together only by
a thin, fragile thread.
An attempt at a poem, inspired by some events in my life and others.
