Hello. I am currently at work watching the COPS New Year’s Marathon, brought to you by Smallpox, an FX Channel Event.

Because so much is riding on your, um, head.

I don’t usually like LJ “memes” but this one allows me the indulgence of self-aggrandizing oneupmanship.

This week our entire development network went down hard because someone in the IT dept pushed some boxes in the back of a closet and hit a power strip.

Subject: A Christian Man want help from you

+ received new remaster/re-release of Gang of Four’s Entertainment!/Yellow E.P.

Ladies and gentlemen, the newest stamp from the Mexican postal service, commemorating a beloved cartoon character named “Memin Pinguin”

I THINK YOU’LL SEE HOW THIS ALL FITS TOGETHER.

This compilation came out in 1986, and is my favorite of Hal Willner’s collections.

Friday nights redux: time with friends, some good moments.

Got a stalker? Carry a stealth pepper spray cellphone!

I just experienced the sexual equivalent of the Seinfeld “Muffin Tops” episode.

MacMomMania

I helped my mom buy a new Mac. She’s on a 350 MHz blue G3 right now.

Refurbished Mac Minis from the Apple web site are going for $400 right now, no joke! Good time to get a Mac if you haven’t before because of price.

We got her a Mac Mini, a 23″ flat panel display, Applecare, and an HP color printer/scanner/everything box all for $2,136 with tax, shipped free.

I swear my mom gets more use out of less money than anyone I know in computing. She’s bought a total of three computers since 1994 and still has the same laserprinter we bought that year.

or maybe some paracetamol

  1. Don’t mess with Icelandic women: On October 24 1975, 90% of Iceland’s women refused to work, cook or look after children.
  2. Don’t mess with Japanese guys: A Japanese man was so enraged by an acquaintance’s failure to address him with an honorific that he stabbed the man to death with an umbrella.. It was the second killing with an umbrella in Japan in less than a month.
  3. Neurofeedback techniques are being used with music now too.

I link, I link, I link.

  1. How’d they pull that off? The Atkins diet people have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Oh, probably because they bet $300 million on a diet trend lasting forever.
  2. Acupuncture can reduce tension headaches by half according to a recent study.
  3. These people claim that they can “fingerprint” the unique identity of a document, package, or credit card.
  4. An Iraqi town has named a U.S soldier as a sheik, or village elder.
  5. The Gitmo trials are so thoroughly rigged that military prosecutors have resigned in protest. Have you ever seen what military “justice” is like? Hint: everyone is guilty. What could possibly squick these guys? Were actual kangaroos involved?
