At six months or so they become Devil-beasts.
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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I should do Meetups. One thing I'm trying to do is organizing some alumni networking for my grad school. That seems fairly likely to attract the right kind of people. (Grownups, at least.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Agreed, Matt. That's why the cute stage was such a surprise to me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I've been spending this week brushing up on some coding skills. Code Academy is great for some stuff, but the PHP section and I are failing to come to terms. So I'm taking a break and updating an old Ubuntu install on a small netbook I had tucked away that I used for my Linux practicing, back when I played around with Linux a bit.
Boy, there are a lot of updates since 2012. I suspect I won't be doing anything on that machine beyond updating for the rest of the afternoon.
In other news, it's in the mid-70s and pleasant here. I have the windows open, and I'm listening to the breeze in the new leaves. Very nice. This weekend it's supposed to get down to 27F. March, man. Also, Boston people, I ran across this on Twitter:

SPRING: My turn.
WINTER: Not YET.
S: OK can I at least-
W: YOU DO NOT TOUCH BOSTON.
S: Man what did Boston DO to you?
W: (whisper) they know

Ah, but the joke is on Winter! Because it is in the 50s here!

It's warmer outside my house than in.

I just walked the dog after not having been outside since 7, when it was about 43. 40 degrees warmer now! Both the dog and I got Too Hot!

What, is Winter a Yankees fan or did it try to get around in Boston via car?

I have a lot of acquaintances. But partly because I'm gone so much I have a hard time turning that into more. For a while I had my roommate (who is still a close friend but now in New Jersey) and some alumni folks, but two of them (a couple) ALSO moved to New Jersey. And the other people we were doing brunch with its a bit awkward to be just us. Tried going to a meet up but have only made it to two because it keeps being times I'm busy.
also--am a bit freaked out about the German plane crash thing. Dude. You want to commit suicide, we can discuss if that's a good plan, but not with 150 other people along with you!!!

Yeah, I've had to avoid looking at stories about it. Really scary, especially now that Bob is flying basically every week.
