I think someone needs to be moving a piano in the middle of this movie.
Hoisting it up the sixth floor through the window, and it's halfway up before the plucky kid notices a huge fray in the cable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This might have to be a miniseries.

If there are to be as many crashes as were present in the originally presented concept, I think the car whose crash caused the whole incident needs to have its brakes cut.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Speaking of cars (notice the subtle segue there?), my BF is writing for a car blog and if you want to read his stuff, please go to [link] If you are inspired to leave a comment, that would be fabulous and give the site some support, too!
His name is Jason, by the way. And he is the WBB.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of blogs...okay, not that useful a segue. Whatever.
Anyone have any interesting podcasts or places to look at listening of podcasts? I really don't know what's out there, but am putatively interested in technology and science stuff.
In theory.

All I know about is iTunes's podcast directory, and I don't find it that helpful.
Putting the call out here as well for anyone who understands the axiom of separation and can explain it in the next half hour or so to please let me know, here or at profile address or on AIM (profile address contains my ID).

iTunes made some sounds at me like it was loading a directory, but I don't know where it went.
Posts on LJ yesterday inspired (that's a big word for a little thing) me to make a playlist of cover songs. The effort underscored why I'm not in the music thread. Man, I know crap all about music. Lots of guessing and web searching, just to come up with 14.

Doesn't the new Bornean carnivore look like some sort of lemur (the round head) or ring-tailed cat?

How to make your own robotic M&M sorter: [link]
Identifying color is easy with the new Texas Advanced Optical Systems (www.taosinc.com) TCS230 frequency to color sensor. This is a high-sensitivity low-noise light-to-voltage optical converter that incorporates on board blue, green, and red optical filters. The sensor combines a photodiode and an amplifier on a single monolithic CMOS integrated circuit with a color filter over the photodiode. What’s really neat about this sensor is that it provides standard RGB color values with 90% accuracy!
I wonder if it will work with Skittles?
