Congrats, msbelle! Hope the transition is smooth and easy. Ish, anyway.
Streetview is coool.

I found the front door to our old apartment! And the rather large apartment building in the space where Man Ray used to be.

I can't do the street view thing with my house but if you put in a slightly wrong address and "look" to the right it's my old house in Brookline!

Thanks, -t! It's an odd little thing, but so well suited to my needs. Well, another bathroom would be good, but MOSTLY well-suited. :-)

oh, Parents, I really thought this year they'd figured something out for me present-wise. But, no, turns out they just haven't gone shopping yet....sigh...I always figure gifts for them out on my own (or with my brothers) but they can never figure out about me. It's like they don't know me at all! so annoying. (And they do know what my interests are! We talk all the time. It's not like we're estranged or anything.)

Our wings are not tired.
Yay, msbelle! Smooth transition wishes for you.
No street view for me. And a really old satellite pic.
Very cute, Theodosia!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sega and NeuroSky To Make Mind-Controlled Toys
Sega and NeuroSky are uniting to make toys controlled by the power of thought.
NeuroSky is usually seen on the conference circuit as as a headset, clamped onto the player's beady-sweated pate, from where it monitors the electrical impulses within. Though it's quite limited — your Tetsuo-like mental concentration is measured as but a single axis — it provides a strange feeling of having a kind of "extra limb." Details on the Sega's new toys are not offered, unfortunately, so the end results are left to our imaginations.
Following our earlier coverage and hands-on review of NeuroSky (wherein I psychically crush my enemies in a Half-Life 2 mod) I have some ideas: how about a game where you have no actual weapon, but wander around and make people's heads explode by maxing out your brainwave focus bar? Oh, wait, kids' toys. I forget.
