Lemming Tracks: Technology, Construction, and Keeping Up

The Lemming probably won't get around to opining about this item today:

• "The 'Levytator:' A New Twist on the Escalator"
  Clark Boyd, Tech News, Discovery News (October 8, 2010)

There's a reason for that. Maybe not a good reason, but a reason.

You see, the Lemming's desk - and computer - and keyboard - is in a construction zone of sorts.

It's quiet at the moment, but pretty soon this area will be suffused with the rhythms of a staple gun, the shrill sonority of a rotary saw, anon hammerings and scrapings.

Tranquil it ain't.

The good news is that this household's getting repairs done in the three rooms with water damage.

The bad news? The Lemming's not getting as much done as usual.

Well, as we say here in Minnesota, 'it could be worse.'
