It's delurker day!

Please say hello. I'll post something fun/interesting for as many days in a row as people comment.

I've discovered a new stopgap for when I want a break, but also want to be doing something useful: ReCaptcha, through which I can help digitize texts by using my human brain to decipher words that have been lined-through, smeared, or otherwise made illegible to an OCR reader. Addictive in a similar way as Google's image tagging, but far more satisfying.
