vespas, parakeets, and (web)monkeys

| No Comments

The pet store behind the market has a parakeet who screeches “Ciao!!” when you walk in the door. He’ll say other stuff in Italian, too. And for some reason, this impresses the hell outta me.

Vaguely similar: today, a vespa cruised past at quite a decent clip, carrying just an old man (a veritable geezer, in fact), the crook of his walking cane wrapped around his neck, and its staff clutched between his knees. We wagered he must’ve been clockin’ an honest 25-30mph, and that over cobblestones, to boot. bello!

Elsewhere, an introductory “Sharing Your Site with RSS” bit i wrote for Webmonkey is up.
