Thanks for reminding me about the time-change--I might have been screwed and slept in!

I woke up after a two-hour nap when Maria called, so I'm guessing I'll be awake for a bit more tonight.

The status is NOT quo.

Oh CRAP! Even though I'm the one that posted in Press about it, I had forgotten about the freakishly early DST until right now. I have six more comments to write before I can go to bed tonight (and 14 more tomorrow, plus preparation for the conference I'm presenting at on Monday), and I swear they're taking me half an hour each. Argh. Must. Not. Panic.

I think I have the date right. I may not, I'm notorious for that. Use DOBs for passwords (complicated variations, hackers!) so I can recall them.

OK, poll: how far back can you bend your fingers. Mine are mostly 90 degrees, individually. (Flip off and ring don't quite go that far.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We should replace the quote at the top of the page with:

WARNING! WARNING! You lose an hour of sleep tonight! Run! Run! Save the children!

Fuck. I want this. But it's $770. Living World lets you hold the Milky Way in the palm of your hand

One of best parts of Will Smith's first slapstick-sci-fi "Men In Black" film is the part when an entire galaxy is found living inside a tiny marble. The scene was a mind-blowing moment in sci-fi history and now you can relive the cognitive dissonance too with design firm Living World's Milky Way galaxy 3D model. Created using real space data culled by Eiichiro Kokubo, Assistant Professor at Japan's National Astronomical Observatory and Osaka University's Kato Tsunehiko, the three dimensional cube encased model does indeed look you're holding an entire galaxy in the palm of your hand. But holding 80,000 laser rendered stars in your hand isn't cheap, the cube costs 80,000 yen ($770) here.

It's very pretty.

OK, poll: how far back can you bend your fingers.

Well, if I put my two hands together and then arch my fingers back, from the first knuckle up from the hand to the tip of the finger, they arch back about 35-40 percent. From where the finger joins the hand out, it's not much more (all my flexibility is in the top 2/3rds of the finger).

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sorry I woke you, Kathy. I was afraid I'd do something like that.

Yep, twinsies were born on Mar 27.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wow, so your twins share a birthday with one of my favoritest people in the whole world. Good sign.

Maybe not so awesome. Too much about poop.

eh, there's a lot of poop that first year. I think it's a cute idea.

I am very tired. Very full day, too full. But the good news is I have a new haircut, and I like it.
