You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Not quite as exciting as the Zmayhem news, but exciting nonetheless....
Naps improve declarative memory
A nap can do wonders for your factual memory, scientists report. Researchers from the City University of New York asked subjects to memorize word pairs. They were tested twice, once right after the test and again six hours later. Those who snoozed for up to an hour before the second test did 15 percent better than the rest. The results of the study appear in the scientific journal Neurobiology of Learning and Memory. From New Scientist:
"Traditionally, time devoted to daytime napping has been considered counterproductive," the researchers say. It now seems sleep is "an important mechanism for memory formation".
I think we all need to forward this to our bosses....

I like both Kayak.com and sidestep.com for airline tickets.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I get my tickets from Travelocity, unless I'm going to Jamaica in which case I get them right from the airline site.
I have used sidestep. It was cool.
Why is there so much gardening in LA? Why are they doing it with machinery outside my window when I'm home sick?

Yay for the Zmayhem! The Halloweenie is going to be the Liese/Mr.Liese anniversareenie instead! (Assuming a quick and smooth delivery.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My computer is dead. I'm a wreck. I wasn't expecting this sudden expense, you know?
So I have to make a choice between the iBook and PowerBook listed here: [link]
Can anyone help me with pros/cons? I'm just not that familiar.

The only major limitation iBooks have is the cheap graphics cards. Which I think only matters if you play a lot of videogames.

ugh, Allyson, unexpected expense is the suck! I bought a refurbished iBook last year directly from Apple and it was less expensive than the one listed on your link. And it's been a joy! I wanted a Powerbook because ooh bigger! ooh shinier! but I really didn't need it for what I do.
