a nice, straight math puzzle my friends gave me recently

62 – 63 = 1
Move a single digit to make that equation true.
(The minus and the equal signs are unmovable.)

"real-life" widgets
spent a little bit of time yesterday making widgets for my new calendar. I never thought of them as widgets before.. just little, practical customizations.. But I realize for the first time that they are the equivalent of expansion packs and plugins.. Two paper strips that form a pocket in the front, two unruled index cards with the last three weeks of December 2007 on them, and carrying over the insert with the cutout bookmark flap, on which I attach post-it notes (I use super sticky only. the regular kind is crap) with to-do lists and other notes that will not stay attached to one particular day or week. It’s pretty much all set up now. I probably won’t completely move over (data transfer) from the 2007 vert to the 2008 bleu til Monday or so.. Still have to write over birthdays and other infos.
while we’re at it, what’s the word for non-electronic / non-digital ..? It’s not analog… not necessarily mechanical… going with “real-life” for now…

Octocake
slated in stuff at 6:49 am
So I’m talking with my friend online and he has to go check on his cake that’s baking since his family bought him an octopus cake pan for his birthday. I’m offhandedly thinking this is some kind of gourmet pan I’m unfamiliar with, or maybe a general mold of an octopus, but I’m envisioning something that’s very much like a bundt cake pan.
Then he sends this picture:
Is that NOT the CUTEst cake EVer??
I want to eat it
and make cute noises of adoration at it
at the same time.
Gosh it’s so darn cute.
I never knew I had a soft spot for octopus cakes. But there it is…
Look at it!!! It’s the cutest little cake ever!!

Orders placed at Newegg and TigerDirect. And just ordered the final item from DigitalHotBuy (would’ve been from ZipZoomFly but I’ve been waiting for my password for which I requested retrieval over two hours ago).
Parts should all be present and ready for assembly by Friday at the very latest.

My hair is awesome right now. At this very moment.
It’s such a good thing I’m about to put it on a pillow and roll around on it for the next 147835023589 hours.
Eh. Sleep is a good cause.
