I've been having fun going through a Chicagoan's blog called designslinger with pictures of their walks through the city. There's a great post about Chicago brick, and a post that includes a photo of the Old Colony Building being cleaned that illustrates how damn dirty the air in our cities used to be.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Nobody likes doing the dishes. Everybody knows that. Which is why I love the fact that Panasonic is putting money and time into developing a robot that does them for us.
After working out that Dvice got the story from Botjunkie who saw it at Engadget who linked to a Google translation of Impress, which is in Japanese, I went to the PC World article. Because I wondered if Panasonic knew that machines for washing dishes already exist. It turns out they do, and they’re not developing a robot to wash dishes; they’re building a robot that serves food and then reloads the dishwashing machine that was invented a while ago.
Dear technobloggers: you are nerds who write about nerdy things on the internerdnet. You should be a little more concerned with fact-checking, and knowing what the fuck you are talking about, or for that matter linking directly to. Otherwise you will lose your nerd cred.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have offered students $5 if they can draw a triangle with 2 right angles. $10 for a triangle with 2 obtuse (but not reflex) angles.

Once they figure out how to draw in the 7th dimension you are gonna be so broke.

If you have a black hole handy, this may be possible.

It's possible to have a triangle with two right angles -- on the surface of a sphere.

people are pissing me off in my office. If people email you wanting an answer, then get back to them. If they start calling me asking for answers I am not running interference for you. seriously.
also, other department, if you need an answer from my boss and he is not in the office, do not ask me about it. I am the assistant, not a decision-maker. honestly. Contact someone at the next level down, call the boss' cell, tattle to your superior, whatever, don't wuss around passive-aggressive with me.

If a student did this I'd likely pay up, and then talk about 2-d vs 3-d vs 4-d. Maybe gravity, too.
