Found this cool mini-sculpture at Geekologie:
You can own your own for just $50 bucks!
(I’d be terrified of squishing it, myself.)
Oh, and Honey? this bike is totally what I want for my Birthday.
Also, I have finally gotten around to changing the CSS a bit–let me know if things go all wonky for you. I [...]
I definitely am not going to have a good week. Because other people need to learn how to work with technology in our office, rather than relying on me to do it, I’ve been banned by my boss from participating in the major software launch slated for…oh…this WEDNESDAY.
While I concede that someone besides me needs [...]
Unfortunately, I don’t have much of a camera, so can’t give you good advice. However, I can refer you to some other people who take amazing photos, and that are willing to share their knowledge and setups.
Popular Photography: How to Photograph Bugs and Other Insects

Things have been a little heavy here lately, so I give you: The Church of the Dude.
From Duderonomy, Book 1, V. 5:
“When discussing a matter of grave importance, or even of trifling idiocy, always make sure to employ expletives as much as possible to prove your heartfelt honesty and conviction. To ensure your dudeness, all [...]
Found a 2 nice reviews of the book “Tested” at Kos. They pretty much outline all the things that make me crazy about No Child Left Behind:
“Students are continuously reminded of the importance of the tests, drilled and drilled and drilled in regurgitation skills with little true comprehension—and then led through relaxation exercises to take [...]
Just for the heck of it, one of my NetVibes widgets is the Buddhist Quote of the day. Most of them are koans that just make my head hurt, but today’s I really liked:
“No matter what one does, whether one’s deeds serve virtue or vice, nothing lacks importance. All actions bear a kind [...]
One of the workshops I’m most commonly asked to give at my university is usually called “Alternative Careers in Science.” I don’t give it that name myself–it’s what the group inviting me, or the program director, always calls it.They don’t mean becoming a music composer or a patent examiner; they mean getting a job that [...]
I was very pleased to see this story:
“The No. 1 bottled water in the country, Pepsico’s Aquafina, is re-purified municipal drinking water. ….Yesterday, Pepsico and an activist group announced that Aquafina labels will now carry the three words, “Public Water Source.” Enigmatic language at best, but a step closer to transparency…..
Dasani, which is Coca-Cola’s “brand” [...]
Look over the “Best of Craig’s List” list!
I found so many I liked, I can’t pick between the 1985 Vintage Vag or the Free MC Hammer Pants.
And, of course, I’m working on a deadline today. Sigh.
(thanks for nothing, DataWhat! )
Don’t collect without a permit!
“Three French nationals have been detained in India after they were allegedly caught collecting butterflies, moths and beetles. Forestry officials in the northern state of Sikkim detained the trio on Friday in a Himalayan forest. They were allegedly in possession of 41 insects, contravening the Wildlife Act….Seven years ago two [...]
