I am amused by the red dot. I, unlike my brother, know the source of the dot: it is the device my father uses for leveling photos. Periodically he makes a big show of hanging pictures of the family and using the red dot machine to make sure the frame is aligned with the dot. [...]
Today is the 22nd anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger catastrophe. However, if you’re a woman, you wouldn’t know that.
The google notebook has swelled to over 300 links, so it’s time to share a few. SimpleWeather.com – this site is fantastic. I highly recommend it over weather.com. Try it and you’ll understand why. Kent Rogowski – Bears Why have abortion rates fallen? “I am a host at the Olive Garden” The planned collapse of [...]
The dow opened at a loss of 500 (!) points yesterday; however, it ended with the dow closing only at 2% loss. If you check the links from yesterday, all the global markets closed upbeat, regaining their losses for the most part. This was after the Fed cut the interest rate yet again, which was [...]

So, in honor of this: Le 3ème Oeil – Pour L’amour De Cette Musique Here’s some info on the band (translated by google). Their music isn’t available anywhere stateside, yet [...]
This serves as an apology before I embark on a ‘not paying attention to the internet especially my weblog’ journey in which I intend to read several (dozen?) books and work furiously while at work. As mentioned before, Lisa gifted me the Hitchhiker’s Guide collection, which is roughly seven books. I’ve completed four so far, [...]
Using the instructions at Ars, I managed to pull down the photos sitting on my phone without paying Verizon the extortion fee for the transfer cable and other crap I didn’t need.
