Friday
Work… blah blah blah.

Off to the airport to pick up . It sounded like she had a great time on the far side of the country. That’s definitely good.

Home for a quick stop and then off to Borders. I asked to give me a new “project” to practice on. She did. So far, so good. After that, , , and I headed to the rather empty Applebee’s for food. While sitting there, we started thinking about two compilation CDs:

  • One based on the characters and places related to Batman
  • One based on the characters and places related to Superman

We came up with a few good ideas. Now, it’s just a matter of going from “theory” to “practical application.”

  • Black Friday. The most anticipated (or “dreaded,” depending on which side of the register that you’re on) day of the shopping year. For some, it was “National Buy Nothing Day.” The extent of my contribution to the day’s economy: I bought something to eat and something to drink.
  • I checked this out again:

    I’m trying to get all my Livejournal friends’ locations plotted on a map – please add your location starting with this form.

    (Then get your friends to!)

    It seems like a few more people have been added since the last time I checked it.

  • Monkeys. Shakespeare. You know the old adage. This is a model of how that would actually work out.
  • From Slashdot: Microsoft Drags Feet with Settlement Claims
  • The Pillows. They did at least some of the music for FLCL. If you can track down some of their music, do so.
  • Have I mentioned “HALO action figures” before? Well, consider them mentioned again.
  • From Slashdot: Human Pac-Man
    (Warning: This has a knack for loading slowly….)

  • Libcaca: Colour ASCII Art Library
  • From Slashdot: The Economics of File-Sharing (Not to be confused with The Politics of Dancing)

And that, as they say, is that. Considering that I got somewhere in the neighborhood of three to four hours of sleep last night, I should probably make an effort to begin tonight’s inner eyelid study. Good night and good morrow to all.

Namaste.
