Holy crap, Usain Bolt just ran a 9.58s 100m. His previous record was 9.71.
Did he chill the last ten yards? God I love that guy.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Just talked my masters-in-physics, tech-writer father through how to identify the Windows Protection Suite as BAD and how to find free anti-spy/malware and INSTALL it. The first ten minutes were me repeating "it's bad, don't clicky." "did you close it yet? cuz it's bad." "fine, click it and watch it tell you to purchase a software to remove the "problems"."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Debet, you don't have Cashmere's cell number? It's in her Facebook profile.

Brilliant thing about the 100m--it's short enough that the full race fits into the day 2 highlight video linked to here. Brought tears to my eyes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh!
I'm watching a thing on 60 Minutes about Coldplay, and I'm as usual surprised about how cute and regular Chris Martin always seems. He just said he doesn't like being called a rock star becuase he wears the wrong pants. Cute.
