Lankakitten and I have been playing tennis lately at our apartment's court. Ho ho ho. First heated seats in the car, and now tennis. Next week you'll be watching us making snarky observations about the hoi poloi, saying things like, "They really should sterilize the poor, my dear. Please pass the gin."
So anyway, maybe "playing" tennis is a strong word. It's been more like,...

I'm having a gin and club soda at 1PM in the afternoon.
Maybe I should have made coffee instead.
Fucking spies, trying to steal my strange robot friends.

Coffee needs burbon, not gin. I see why you would go with the club soda.

I've been using Ubuntu Linux for a week now so here's my review:
Getting up and running
The last time I tried installing Linux was back in 1999 and it was a fucking disaster. Like, full-on, "I'll kill you, motherfucker!" disaster.
Back in 1999, Linux couldn't find my network card. My graphics card wouldn't run in any resolution but 640x480 and my motherboard's sound jack...

Strongmad took this profile picture at Tawnya's Halloween party. I like the newsprint on the wall fading into the background. That and the orange, orange is hot.
Two things happened today:
1. I've almost officially switched over to Linux (after checking out Tawnya's kick ass Mac Mini and setting for second best.) Gnome is really like OS X, sure it is. I'm cool...

So you'd be selling licensing for this, or how would it work?
It's a good idea, and it sounds but I just don't know how you'd sell it. if you've got the idea, then I'd say you've got a sure thing.

Hey, I just want to apologize to everybody on my friends list for abandoning their journals for the past few days. Remember that crazy 5-foot thick questionnaire that I talked about getting the contract for this past December? It's due Monday so I've been shitting myself trying to figure out how to remain clever and creative while facing a brutal deadline.

Hey... I hope you and yours are doing well. It's a shame that I haven't gotten to spend any time at places where also you are.

It cracks me up how all these minor players in the business world (e.g. godaddy.com) submit outrageous videos to CBS to be aired during the superbowl. The whole point is to get it rejected so it becomes a news piece and the internet community flocks to view it: all of the exposure, none of the superbowl ad rates.

I feel like I've just been intelectually kicked in the balls. Thanks.

I thought the link said "Mike Gone wild" and I thought it was some video you made to copycat the trend in an ironic way.
I'm let down. I was hoping for a dorky raver dance, and I got udders.

Further securing my nerdhood, I did some math today before ordering a pizza. I needed to determine which pizza (from PIzza Time) had the best discount.
Med 11" Pizza - $7.99
Large 14" Pizza - $10.99
X-Large 16" Pizza - $13.99
First I calculated the area:
Med 11" Pizza - 94.9 units
Large 14" Pizza - 153.86 units (62% larger)
X-Large 16" Pizza - 200.96...

MATH! MATH! MATH!
You should put into the equation quality of the pizza.
Check out this pizza I ordered last year for a party. Barely fit in the trunk. It is the equivalent of 4 large deep dish pizzas. I don't know what the value would be. But it was $50. Value?

I've eaten some of a three foot pizza before. It was BIG. Congrats on the math nerdyness. I heart math.
Three years of bad work is coming to an end! Ever since I started my survey business, I've been using the same shoddy interviewing platform which I built back around the turn of the millenium (while sitting in a starbucks, cold-sweating, wondering why on earth I had turned in notice at my current job.)
