Friday
As the morning program on a radio station back home used to say on Friday mornings: “It’s the weekennnnd, baby!” Or, in my case: “Almost the weekend.” I’m going in tomorrow morning to take care of some systems maintenance and a little paperwork. Once I get that out of the way, the weekend officially begins.

A little before lunch, I rediscovered something that I had not thought about in a while: To take a short break, step outside and just… be… in the sun is a good thing. I tried to do it at least once a day when I worked for the USPS. It’s nice to get outside of the office/cubicle/box/whatever and get a little fresh air and natural light. It usually seems to give me just enough of a “recharge” to get through whatever I am working on.

  • Let’s get this one out of the way, right off the bat: Kudos to for pointing this out. Very funny.
  • I’ve heard rumours about this for years. I think that it first surfaced around the time that Team Knight Rider was in development. *shiver* Pray that it stays (and hopefully dies) in pre-production Hell.
  • Can anyone confirm whether or not Kevlar® would be effective protection against a knife? Stabbing and/or slashing attacks.
  • Hi, Sparky!
  • ::: Intermission :::
  • Two words: Battlestar: Galactica This ought to be interesting. I spent many a Sunday night in front of the television watching the show. Confession: I even watched the abortive Galactica: 1980, when they finally found Earth. *sigh*
  • Thanks to for showing me the URL for The American Pantheon. Interesting concept… and I think that they have captured the avatars of America rather well.
  • I just saw a promo for an NBC summer show: Fame. There weren’t many (read: “any”) details about the show, but I think that it’s safe to say that it is not based on the movie or the former NBC show. This one seems to be a… *sigh* reality TV show, a la American Idol. Where’s the drain plug? I’ll pull the damned thing myself.
  • And there was a promo for another upcoming NBC show, called “Love and Money.” From what I saw and heard, it sounds like it should be called Dumb Guy and the Gold-diggers. Umm, I meant: Son of Joe Millionaire. There’s got to be a bottle of Drano® around here somewhere…
  • Can you name the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?

…and they all lived happily ever after. The end.

Namaste.
