Michael J. Fox is campaigning for stem cell research (and against those Repubs who voting against it). Pretty sad to see him doing so poorly physically.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Holy hell, I really didn't expect my bro and SIL to have more than one. SIL was SO adamant.

Pretty sad to see him doing so poorly physically.
And yet also very cool, very brave to put vanity (and even some dignity) aside and let the world see what stem cell research could help alleviate.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Dad is visiting, and I drove him up to the KC area to visit more family. My time is not my own through all this, otherwise I would have tried to arrange a mini-f2f with the Buffistas here.
We went to a performance by Baxter Black at the University of Kansas campus in Overland Park last night. It was a good show, great fun, and I laughed til I cried.
Afterwards there were books and CDs for sale in the lobby. He pre-signs the books, but he does personalized inscriptions then and there, holding the book upside-down and writing backwards with a slant-tip pen. The result is pretty neat, a sort of calligraphy. Pictures here: [link]

I just watched a CSI:Miami from earlier this season on CBS.com. Johnny Whitworth needs to call me. Stat.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Rentometer. Find out if you're paying too much in rent.
Thanks to 20 years of staying put and rent control I am at almost a third of the market rate for a two-bedroom in my nabe.

We're at about half the median in this area, for the same reason.
ETA: And a couple hundred below the lowest currently available.

Thanks to living bracketed by an expressway and slum tenements, I'm paying about $130/month less than the median for a 2br in this zip code. But really, based on square footage and the apartment's features I'm probably getting it for about half what it would cost in a good neighborhood.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Nifty web toy. I'm paying about $150 under median. Like others, it's probably due to staying put for a while. Six years in my case.
I'm still planning to move at some point, but that's because I want to upgrade from one bedroom to two.
