...umpiring was Hell tonight. Two games, same teams, and they were in to it. Was very tiring. Lots of close calls, lots of complaining, and almost one protest. Geez.
Did manage to beat the rain in, however, so someone took pity on me long enough to let me get inside. And thus, I enjoy watching the storm outside.
I'm enjoying these Mouse Gestures - almost think I'd like an OS extension to be able to do the same thing, but maybe not. Would definitely be interesting if you had, say, the Nintendo Power Glove somehow hooked up to be your mouse or something.
Ever wonder what a splash looks like? These guys and their 1000 frames/sec camera decided to drop a marble into some sand. The results, they say, are pretty much like what a water splash looks like. Check it out for yourself.
And dragging along a cute exercise from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Lots of fun to do DT - their song titles are very difficult to meld into it without some thinking. Had to have a look at my CDs to make this one work out, but I'm pleased with the results.
From the nutjobs at 23 Apples of Eris, a very simple suggestion for all our evangelistic friends that enjoy the use of large signs to promote their message:
Assuming that most of us live in cities, and also that most cities are the same, we all have probably seen the 'crazy' people wearing signs that say fun things like Repent, for the End is Near! and so forth. I have come up with a way to both help these people ('cause let's face it, most of their signs are pretty shoddy), and have some fun. Accomplish as follows:
1. Find a crazy sign-person.
2. Make for the crazy sign-person a nice new sign, sturdy, and preferably brightly-coloured.
3. Put on the sign a fun logo such as 'Repent! For the End of the World was Last Week!', or 'It's too late to Repent! You're already in Hell!'
4. Give said sign to said crazy person. And give them a sticky bun or something, those people generally look kinda hungry.
5. There is always a step 5.
In a pinch, of course, (or if you *are* a sign-wearing crazy person normally) you can fill in for the sign person yourself and wander around downtown, but I recommend not bathing for at least a few days prior to doing so, just to keep the image up.
And above all, have fun! :)
Funny, because there are people like that when we go to our football games. It seems a senseless waste of energy to me, but who knows? It may be effective...
