Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought it was bad, and then I saw the picture. Gah.

OMG.

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

I went and voted - "it's racist" is now winning.

Me too. Unfortunately there isn't an option to vote for "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE??"

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

DIY electronics project: The Sanity Nullifier

Here is another fun way to irritate & annoy people. This time the noisemaker uses an ATtiny2313 to generate random noises. The website has all the code & schematics so you can build your own Sanity Nullifier.

The device beeps a short beep of a very annoying frequency in random times. The time between beeps is anywhere within half an hour to nine hours.

eta:

The subject of your devious device has a flat/house. Put the beeper inside the house, and when the first beep occurs, your victim will just wonder about that what was it. When it occurs again and again he will try to locate the source. After checking all cellphones, smokealarms, battery powered devices in general he will be clueless as to what is causing this. The beeping will be a mystery as long as the battery lives. Or it will drive him nuts.

In non-upsetting news, when I walked by my neighbor this morning (I think he works nights, so we often pass each other on the street in the mornings), he asked for my autograph. I think by that he meant that I look good today? I was a little confused, but am assuming it was a compliment.

Heck yeah! Assume you look like a superstar today!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

he asked for my autograph.

He's another identity thief.

Art Crawl!!!

I have to say that I got my haircut last Thursday and random people keep going past and complimenting me on it. It's almost insulting - like, I looked so incredibly bad before that strangers are making an effort to come by and say something nice.

Woot!!! Aimee, that's great news! I think you should call in your "resignation" and tell your douchenozzle ex-boss that if he runs into trouble with keeping up on your work he's just going to have to fucking lump it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Hah! I just spent $10 on...something.

That's really tempting, just for the sheer entertainment value.

The numbers this morning are horrifying. 15,000 dead, another 40-50 thousand missing. Between natural disasters and man made disasters the news is very upsetting stuff. Bombs in India and Spain, in addition to the usual places of course.

Do you guys think that donating $$ to Red Cross International is the best way to get aid to Burma and China? I want to help, but I want to make sure my money is used in the most efficacious way to get aid where it's needed.

Oh -- or maybe Doctors Without Borders?
