Wednesday
Work. Blah, blah, blah… Good overall day. Blah, blah, blah… and I were approached by a wandering artist who was peddling his art work. Blah, blah, blah… More work. Blah, blah, blah… Hometime.

After work was an off-week Wednesday night coffee. With a surprise: Sara is back in town. (If you don’t know who she is, don’t worry. If you do know her -and you didn’t know already- she’s back.) We hung out, drank coffee, ate VERY rich chocolate mousse and gabbed.

Stray Toasters

  • I had a very pleasant – and rather unexpected – IM chat with a friend (and ex-coworker) in N.C. It had been far too long since we’d chatted. I will have to make it a point to keep in touch with him.
  • Strange goings-on outside the 7-11 across from the Salt Lake Roasting Company. O_o
  • The much embattled “Spike TV” will apparently feature a series featuring cartoon shorts gleaned from the Spike & Mike Sick & Twisted Festival of Animation.
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger political cartoons
  • The new Matrix Revolutions trailer is here.
  • From Slashdot: MSN Messenger Access to be Restricted
  • Big Brother is watching you. Anyone who has read George Orwell’s 1984 (or seen the movie) is familiar with that line. Now, it’s not just Big Brother… or maybe it is…. anyway, Microsoft has been monitoring newsgroups and some public email lists, at the suggestion of their “in-house sociologist,” Marc Smith. Fact stranger than fiction? Maybe. Read more about it here.
  • Super-teen extraordinaire
    Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
    Runs around in underwear
    Freakazoid! Freakazoid!

    Rescues Washington D.C.
    Freakazoid! Freakazoid!
    Unless something better’s on TV
    Freakazoid! Freakazoid!

  • Do you like Microsoft Flight Simulator? Do you like it this much? (Yes, that is an actual setup – 13 monitors and 9 PCs.) Yes? No? Maybe? Well, that setup is good… but then there is this. This is definitely the brainchild of someone with lots of free time.
  • Chun Li… or, as we used to call her “Thunder-Kick Barbie.”

Namaste.
