Cyclones. Earthquakes. And now - ants who attack electronics.

I'll be in my bunker if you need me.

Totally unrelated, but also fascinating: the woman who cannot forget. Photographic memory isn't quite as cool as roleplaying games made it out to be.

(If I had this affliction, I would be constantly trying to make my days as interesting as possible. I suspect this...

Ok, so now I'm filled with anticipation those ants could migrate elsewhere. Do anteaters make good pets?

Combine the following:

1) Working late almost every day for the past two weeks;
2) Lack of sleep from said work;
3) Playing computer Scrabble on my phone because I don't have time to play against actual humans;
4) Being convinced that the Scrabble program on my phone is manipulating the tile selection with the intention of mocking me;
5) Watching the details of the...

It pretty much depends on which part of the state. Where I live, when I was growing up. It rained at the same time every day during the summer. Now, we're lucky to get what we get.
I guess mother nature took that whole sunshine state theme to heart.

I'm really disgusted with my home state this morning. I'm feeling very... bitter. Ah, irony.

No more politics for me for at least a couple of weeks, I think.

In other news, I was bummed to discover that running biodiesel voids the warranty on any new, clean-diesel vehicle. Here I was foolishly hoping to get the best of both worlds.

Moving heavy object does strange things to the mind. Like making you unreasonably, deliriously happy about fitting a queen sized boxspring into a seventy year old elevator.

It's much older than 70 years! There are dinosaurs in the basement that pull the cables to make it go up and down.

In the spirit of ABC's utterly awful presidential debate, Slate offers Six Degrees of Adolf Hilter.

I can't wait for someone to ask Senator Clinton how she explains her association with multiple people who knew Hitler directly! eeek Oh, the shame, the shame!

Well I guess I can't complain any longer about how robotics researchers can't get one to walk. Behold,
BigDog.

Observations:

1) I think it actually walks more like a mule than a dog (and wouldn't Mule be a more accurate name, anyway?)

2) On the one hand, it would be significantly less creepy if it had a head. On the other hand, a head...

Nothing reminds a writer of time so much as running across some old work you did. From like, a year ago.

Damn, I can't stand reading my own stuff.

Work hard, party hard.

Or go to Bourbon and Branch, and party hard and expensive.

Oh, but they were very good drinks.

Okay, I'm not at all interested in the whole Spitzer scandal, but of course they had to ask the presidential candidates about it:

Sen. Hillary Clinton said she had no comment on New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's possible involvement in a prostitution ring.

"I obviously am sending my best wishes and thoughts to the governor and to his family," she told reporters after visiting with...

I'm still working late, I'm still insanely busy.

But somebody sent me this blog today, and I had to share.

I am deeply offended. Mostly because it's so true.

a two scoop cup of gelato has far fewer calories than a typical fruit smoothie.

The lesson, clearly, is this: fuck fruit, eat ice cream.

That is all.

best rationalization ever.

If you make your smoothies out of typical fruit, sure. But only some sort of peasant or lower-class person would do that, clearly... tongue
