This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Happy birthday Dana!

what I did this weekend :

Saw a concert at a tiny place in town. the Band was part of the Blusin' Roulettes. they do old timey style music, but all the music is original - so that ups that sassy in the sassy style songs. We are going to have them do a house concert in our yard in august.

Saturday there was some gardening and then our coffee shop had dinner . ( they did for a while, but it got to much - so some new has taken over) food was good, but there is a big learning curve needed. But it was silly

Sunday I did train volunteer stuff. We have a steam train that comes into town, but it gets kind of convoluted to find it - so we have 4 to 6 volunteers around town directing people. a link to the train :

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Why are people excited about iPhone?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Because Apple told us to be?

Also, it's really really pretty.

Has this been linked here? Schroedinger's LOLcat.

I am not excited by the iPhone, but then I just don't want a phone that does that much.

I forgot to say - all the baby pictures make me happy

I am excited about the iPhone, but not as excited as I would be if I were able to afford one.

Random - I've switched desks, and now I can't see embedded Youtube clips using Firefox. And I can't install the Flash plugin without admin privileges. No Youtube for me!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I am excited about the iPhone, but not as excited as I would be if I didn't loathe phones.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't want it as a phone, I want it as a portable internet thingy that's actually designed to work with Macs. (Of course, I'll also want it to run all the Palm apps I currently have on my Treo, because sometimes I'm on the subway with no internet access and want to be playing Sudoku.)

Speaking of mobile phones, coma victim awakens to democracy:

A Polish man has woken up from a 19-year coma to find the Communist party no longer in power and food no longer rationed, Polish TV reports.

Railway worker Jan Grzebski, 65, fell into a coma after he was hit by a train in 1988.

When Mr Grzebski had his accident Poland was still ruled by its last communist leader, Wojciech Jaruzelski.

"When I went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops, meat was rationed and huge petrol queues were everywhere," Mr Grzebski said.

The following year's elections ushered in eastern Europe's first post-communist government.

Poland joined the Nato alliance in 1999 and the European Union in 2004.

"What amazes me today is all these people who walk around with their mobile phones and never stop moaning," said Mr Grzebski.

"I've got nothing to complain about."

(Did anyone else see the movie Goodbye, Lenin?)
