Aaaand the best definition award goes to… Wikipedia! (no, not even Wiktionary)
Jealousy is an emotion experienced by one who perceives that another person is giving something that s/he wants (typically attention, love, or affection) to a third party. For example, a child will likely become jealous when her parent gives sweets to a sibling but not to her. While the child’s jealousy might be assuaged if she also received candy from the parent, such is typically not the case for a jealous lover, who wants the beloved to give some kinds of attention exclusively to him.
Ok. So I just sorta had a revelation… I realized that I should run multiple blogs on different subjects, rather than one blog that spastically tries to cover all my bases without becoming so unfocused that it loses its purpose… or whatever. I guess it would be the ideal amalgam of random crap for ME, but it’s prolly easier for others if they can just check the different blogs for differing coherent lines of thought/musing/investigation. Plus it’ll probably foster better blogging on my part. Now to put one more thing on my todo list… Look at multiple blogs in a wordpress environment or something.
ALSO! I’m still looking for a simple way to enable auto-linking of URL’s in blog posts. ie. http://www.google.com automatically becomes http://www.google.com. I’ve been completely dumbfounded at how difficult it is to find ANYTHING helpful on this around the web. My next step was either to a) post on some forum (WHICH forum?) b) Look at some of the php for the more complex linking plugins and hack something together that works (and release it as a plugin? ooooh…)
So yeah…. back to “homework”
p.s. Some cool geography/GIS/cartography blogs:
An old favorite of mine: Cartography: The Canadian Cartographic Association Weblog
Some new ones:
The Map Room: Blogs. Also, The Map Room itself is a blog about maps (duh).
Spatially Adjusted
The Center for Geographic Analysis’ list of GIS blogs

An article in the Boston Herald about a football player with ADD whose academic as well as athletic lives were saved when he was diagnosed and medicated.
“It still bothered me that I had to take a pill (Adderall) just to be normal like everyone else,” Tassinari admitted. “But I was glad in that this seems to be helping me.”
Interesting to find some positive coverage re: medication for a change.
