Off I go to
Burning Man -- okay Adam, you hold down the fort while the rest of us are travelling.
Best new music discovery:
Doc says I need stiffer boots to protect my toe joint ... perhaps:

IMSAI wants to sell you one of their funky-cool 1975-era personal computers. It has been updated to allow your IMSAI Series Two computer to house a standard ATX motherboard, in addition to the Zilog-based IMSAI computer.

I was in the process of relieving myself. I was not able to switch on the video camera. There is therefore no video footage.”
Leonard Cohen needs $ Please leave his car alone.
Larry Wall is giving a presentation on perl6 in a few minutes, down the hall from me. Yay!
Global Warming? Tipping Point? Methane? Hmmm... Could a viable large-area extraction process be devised? At least we might then go through another energy source before its combustion process further enhances Global Warming...
Huge areas of mylar reflective matter to slow down the warming process; intersperse holes in the mylar and collect what emerges from that in tanks connected by piplines. Cost? Energy? Large area of the globe reflecting some extra heat? Tourism into Mylar-covered "moonscape" wilderness?
Say, we ought to do something about this global warming thing before the whole problem gets much more expensive. Oops,
Too late.
Some friends of mine work at
oqo. I think these micro-PCs miss the mark, that they're being held back by a rigidly dogmatic adherence to a Windows-centric means of user interaction. I think miniaturized computing needs a radically redesigned UI. It shouldn't require that the user target a pointer at tiny boxes a few millimeters on a side to make things happen.
Boy Vey, the Shiksa's Guide to dating Jewish Men. Oy, they are after our boychiks!
Quote:
"
Sex with a Jewish man, writes Grish in a chapter devoted to the subject, is a positive experience (if you ignore their hairy backs, she says). She also attempts to contradict the myth that Jewish men are of modest proportions. The chapter is full of compliments. In her opinion, the sexual behavior of the Jewish male is influenced by a matriarchal culture in general, and by his love for his mother in particular, and therefore he will do everything in his power to satisfy a woman. So try to enjoy it, she writes, and for God's sake, if you don't come, then fake an orgasm, so he won't develop more guilt feelings".
