Here's the Rio original quote:

the bagel thing fits in with my larger theory about white people and muffins. I don't have time to go into detail right now, but basically the thing is: White people just want to eat muffins 24/7, but they are ashamed of this fact, so they take totally good yummy foods like bagels and coffee and ice cream and turn it all into muffins. Hence stuff like the blueberry bagel. The caramel latte. The chunky chocolate-almond-caramel-fudge ice cream. JUST EAT A FRELLING MUFFIN, WHITEY! That is what I say.

Oh, and the guy I learnt "ilchon" from is basically a younger, semi-Asian Baltar, with an Aussie accident and presumably fewer psychoses. [link]

Awww, I miss Rio.

Dear god, Raq. That's like.... that's like the first time I saw Keanu. You know, before he opened his mouth.

(Also, I've been dying to ask what conference you're at -- it sounds fab.)

You know, before he opened his mouth.

And released demons from the bottomless pit of...well...nothing, actually.

Hil, what fantastic news! Congrats!

Etech. [link] Is fab. erinaceous was supposed to speak at it, actually, but had to cancel.

I have about 50 blog posts colliding in my head from conference ideas, and I'm rather delighted that I attended a meeting back at my real job yesterday via Second Life.

Yes, I am pretty close to geekgasm.

(but we'll have to trade SL thoughts at some point, as I both want and need but the kool-aid keeps utterly eluding me)

So, today was character day at school. I took some pictures of the kids, which led to them wanting to take pictures of each other with my camera (which I may not let them do again. Eek!).

In case you were wondering what happens when you give a four-year-old a camera...you get very fabulous abstract pictures like [link]

Because I am an utter dork, I started looking at the kind of watch that has a built-in slide rule around the face. Seems cool. Can't find one small enough to not look ridiculous on my wrist, though. I suppose that getting it small enough to look OK on a small wrist while large enough to be usable would be difficult, and there's probably not enough of a market for any company to try it.

Could still get a slide rule keychain, though. Oooh! Someone must make a slide-rule bracelet! Right? Off to google.
