Thursday
I think that yesterday’s moving activities may have caught up with me. I am tired. Really tired. A level of tired that I don’t achieve very often.

The day was good. And it ended in the company of , and . Not a bad way to end the day.

NPR and Other Stories
I had forgotten that I had wanted to listen to Talk of the Nation yesterday – Lynn Neary did an interview with Bill Cosby about the furor that has arisen over his criticism of African-Americans’ language, decorum and parenting skills. Fortunately, they record the shows; thus, I was able to listen to it this afternoon.

Stray Toasters

  • For reasons that I have yet to figure out, Mozilla Mail decided that it would be amusing to download all of my email except for the ones that go to my primary account. At first, I thought that it was just a little odd. Then I decided to do some checking. There were over 75 emails waiting to be downloaded from the server. *braincramp* Fortunately, that little episode is over and all email is downloading properly.
  • I got Pegasus on IRC this evening; geek mode has officially gone into overdrive.
  • : You may get a kick out of this.
  • From Slate (by way of Slashdot): The Man Who Knew Too Much.
    He’s Salt Lake City’s newest citizen in the spotlight. He’s been on a 26-game winning streak on Jeopardy!. Each show is thirty minutes long, so I’m not sure how his “fifteen minutes of fame” averages out.

  • Slashdot Poll: Favorite Sesame Street Character
    For me, it’s a toss-up between The Count and Cookie Monster. But I think that Cookie Monster has the edge.

  • : I think that you’ll appreciate the absurdity of this.
  • Best use of a Land Shark joke in a webcomic:
  • I just finished watching some of the movies of Jumping Spider courtship that posted earlier. I can’t decide if they are doing Goth-fu or breakdancing.
  • New Justice League and Superman: TAS DVDs out on 19 Oct 04. That’s just one week before my birthday, if anyone needs ideas for a suitable present.
  • : I’ll swing by with the keyboards; I think that we can find something to fit the bill.
  • Presidential candidate John Kerry is being cited… in a Catholic heresy case?
  • Artbabe – The art and comics of Jessica Abel.

Time to call it a night before I nod off and wake up with keyboard imprints in my forehead.

Namaste.
