Electric Tuvalu!
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tuvalu! With the cute shirts.
I'm still reeling from the cuteness of Tom Daley. And eep. He's young enough he could be my after-I-graduated-from-college-son! If I had had a son then, that is.

The Russian women get snazzy bags! Too bad they are in the same fabric as their blouses and the men's ascots.

I'm finding the Silverlight player to be surprisingly good (at least compared to most online players -- no, it's not as good as the HD).
Weirdly enough (it's not my product group, so no vested interest), I'm glad to hear it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Whee! Becca, Sada and Mariel are all in the final 4. Which is kind of scary, actually.
I completely missed Sada and Mariel this round -- Becca's bout went to 15-14 against the totally awesome Tunisian Terror Azza Besbes (I shit you not. Awesome name and an awesome nickname. And no, I didn't know Tunisia was a fencing power either. Because they're honestly not. But Besbes was seeded 25th and damn near made it into the final rounds. And she's every bit as cool to watch as you'd expect from all that, and I'd have been cheering for her all the way if she'd beaten my girl Becca.)
Anyway, break time and I'm going to sleep some before the medal rounds. Holy shit, they're doing it again.

Honestly, I'm seriously cranky at no Linux options (since that's my default tv-watching box), and I didn't like having to install something new. But good compression is pretty much where I live, and if I can get a clear picture on my dodgy home cable connection even when it's big enough to watch it TV-style, it's a win.

Aha! I know some people in my org worked on it pre-reorg, but I wasn't sure where it wound up.
