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

Winscape: Convincing Fake Windows for Cubicle-Dwellers

Cool - it tracks the person looking at the "windows" and changes the "view" as they move about, creating the illusion they're real windows.

A guy I know - the father of one of Casper's friends at school - is running the Boston Marathon today. And they have an online tracking system, so I can see how he's doing! (Okay, apparently he hasn't started yet, which given the numbers is not too surprising I guess.) He's 52 and way fitter than I ever have been or ever will be, sigh.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Gah, I can't stay awake today. Literally. I just nodded off in the bathroom.

More coffee is being dispatched to proper neurons even as I type.

Time to repeal the 19th Amendment?

Yes, it is too much to hope for. They're staging a protest, and bringing their guns.

What are they protesting?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What are they protesting?

The government trying to take over. Obama wanting to take away their guns. Freedom!

Almond plans to have his pistol loaded and openly carried, his rifle unloaded and slung to the rear, a bandoleer of magazines containing ammunition draped over his polo-shirted shoulder. The Atlanta area real estate agent organized the rally because he is upset about health-care reform, climate control, bank bailouts, drug laws and what he sees as President Obama's insistence on and the Democratic Congress's capitulation to a "totalitarian socialism" that tramples individual rights.

A member of several heretofore little-known groups, including Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership and Oath Keepers -- former and active military and law enforcement officials who have vowed to resist laws they deem unconstitutional -- Almond, 31, considers packing heat on the doorstep of the federal government within the mainstream of political speech.

Obama wanting to take away their guns.

Huh. Gun control doesn't even appear to be on the Obama administration's radar. I guess it's a hypothetical protest.
