Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I'm not really here because I'm on a group pc while they do something to my unix account and my god is it a pain in the ass to adapt tasks done on a unix desktop to doing them on a pc. Especially since I don't use pcs much.

But I got to "feed" the jukeboxes today because I'm the only one here. It was very 2001. Um. In 2007. Um.

I also thankfully know how to delete cookies.

I just have to get the Avery business card blanks to print them out with, though -- and if I decide to change my design/text, I can do it in batches of ten.

Right now, in place of a company name, I have

application architecting * workflow designing * info managing * db wrangling

... which is either too precious or just enough to be accurate yet tantalizing in a sea of otherwise ordinary business cards given to prospective networkers, et cetera.

(Edited to add: it all fits on one line, across the width of the card....)

Art Crawl!!!

I watched a little bit of it last night. Apparently, Tuesday's stage was very, very exciting.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Nothing against ginormous, but I think that we're getting cavalier about adding new words to the dictionary. I mean, how long is "crunk" really going to be around? (and they seem to have defined it wrong, or at least left out a definition, in the article)? This is the kind of culture that makes "wrongheaded" an allegedly real word.

Michael Rasmussen has always looked like Skeletor.

If anyone doesn't want to be spoiled for the Tour: I can't believe Vinokourov fell. It's like someone put a curse on him.

I like it!

I have a friend watching the Tour in person. His email updates are pretty awesome.
