This is cool, and not just because it involves Vortex:
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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

3 guesses who didn't mind the teacher and kept horsing around in class? Now 3 guesses who fell face first into a wooden chair and now has 2 cuts on his face and one inside his month. Nothing requiring offsite help, but he wants me to get him early. I am inclined to not get him for at least a few hours.

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
I was going to say what Trudy said, except with (I think) a different fictional reference....
I had a vague recollection of Cher, but I couldn't figure out what film it was.

Actually, I sort of got the idea I would like it from Jamie Lee Curtis in My Girl!

Hey, that's Make magazine! That's much beloved of DIY-ers/tinkerers/hackers everywhere. It leads to things like the thermic lance made with spaghetti.

I can't get to the BBC website at all. Is it just me?
It's working for me. I spend half my life on that site...

Awww, sweets. I've had days like that with CJ. Luckily things have improved over the years. I hope the same for you, even though that doesn't help TODAY.

My co-workers are terrific. When I got off the phone with my mom this morning, my two next-cubicle neighbors were immediately at my desk to see what was up and if I was okay. And just now, my boss's boss came by--my boss is working from the downtown office and had told me when I called her this morning that if I wanted to go home, I could, but I didn't want to sit at home and stress. Bill heard from her about my "bad news," and came over to reassure me that if I wanted to go home early, they'd cover anything that needed to get done.
