I returned from class to find a message on my answering machine... a woman from Florida says she'd be willing to pay "anything" for one of my remaining Gund Rainbow Hectors.

I am always willing to help out a fellow devotee, but I wish she handn't told me she wanted to buy it for her dog!

More specifically, her blind dog (who follows the jingling sound it makes when it bounces).

I have seven Rainbow Hectors here in my office, including two still sealed in their shipping bags. Assuming that I do sell her one of them, how do I choose? Would I rather a hectopus stay in my office safe from harm, or get slobbered and loved (possibly to pieces)?

Perhaps I need to get out more...

www antimodal com features the classic cell simulation game on a hexagonal grid. Rainbow Hector likes hexagons.

Who Buys Rainbow Hector Weblog Shares? (via Jerz's Litearcy Weblog)

Who is deb_c and why, why did she purchase 2,500 blogshares of my Rainbow Hector Weblog just a few hours ago?

Wilda, who has patiently mentored me as I take over her role as advisor to the student paper, stops by my office. We are chatting about weblogs. She works for Seton Hill University's National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education. I've been trying to get her to consider publicizing the center's activities via blogging.

In the middle of the conversation, she spots the Rainbow Hector I keep on my desk, picks him up and asks about him. I tell her that, for some reason, I keep a weblog devoted to Rainbow Hector.

I'm getting to know MovableType, and slowly converting the entries from my old hand-coded Rainbow Hector Weblog.
