Biking in from Inman Park MARTA where we picked up Keith We attended Streets Alive in Atlanta on Sunday. It was a blast! They closed down Edgewood Avenue from Peachtree Street to Boulevard and Auburn Street from Peachtree to the Connector. There were cyclists and skateboarders and rollerbladers and walkers and strollers and jugglers and …

On a Lighter Note
If you’re sick of politics, watch this: “Until they got caught by man-eating teddy bears.”

Molly Lewis does Lady Gaga. I find this video fun to watch for several reasons, one of which is that Molly Lewis has one of those faces that lights up when there’s a smile on it. See for yourself. Time Machines and Paradoxes (and Humor). I love it. Multi-part, overdubbed personal music recording (with excellent …
One of the Better Posts in a While
There are frequent complaints about internet grammar. I contribute to the pool of people doing the complaining despite my not-so-occasional typo or its/it’s screwup. (I vote that “it’s” be disbanded and all forms of “its” be spelled without the apostrophe. It won’t be too hard to figure from context) This posting amused the hell out …
2010 Hugo Nominations
The 2010 Hugo Nominations are out and I haven’t read a single one of them. Nada. Zilch. This is surprising to me. Not that I’m a grand peruser of all that is scif/fantasy, but usually I manage to read something that hits the list, if only by accident. Last year I got three of the …
Happy First of April Day
April Fool’s Day has always been somewhat of a mystery to me. Part of that is because I’ve never been into practical jokes; I’m not a fan of being on the receiving end which translates into not wanting to offer them up to someone else. Plus I always feel obligated to help clean up if …
Childhood: Shattered
That sound you just heard? That horrible, crashing sound of breaking hearts and shattering happy places? That was the sound of my childhood foundering on the rocks of this Pooh vs. Alien mashup.
Marathon, Concerts, Presentation
It’s been a busy few days. Lots of stuff going on. But let’s start with something funny that I have in common with this girl who ran the ING Georgia Half Marathon today. Let’s Compare! That was last Friday while I was giving a presentation on Diverging Diamond Interchanges (Soon to be a podcast at …
Socialism is good for…
This quote from a CNN Tech article (which is a further quote from another location) amuses the hell out of me: Being a socialist is a great way to get laid in college but it’s no way to run a society. The article in question is about five silly slogans for tech companies. Check it …
Brackets
I filled out my brackets for March Madness at lunch. I do two of them every year. One based on my best intuition of the coming contests and one based on coinflip. Coinflip usually beats intuition. Now it’s important to realize that by “best intuition” I mean, “my best guess” or “whichever team has a …
