Weekend approaching.
Sep. 22nd, 2006 01:04 amToday? Homework in bits, pieces, and long timelines, with distrtactions and television interspersed. Happy hour at a bar with a bunch of other grad students. Was a good time, even though people smoked. And I still probably paid too much for the beer. It was enjoyable beer, though. Anyway, not an important day, so on with the cavalcade of important things.
As usual, there's bunches of linky-linkies tonight, so get comfortable.
Wired takes a look at bionics and man-machine interfaces. As the technology advances, hopefully we'll be able to make it as if the limb, sight, or other sense was never lost.
Hugo Chavez lights into Bush at the UN. The discontent, it rises. The question is what will come of it, if anything. And whether the UN will get anything out of it.
The facts that you were looking for. They may not be the precise facts you were seeking, but they are the facts that everyone's looking for. We'll pair this with the truly honest airline pre-flight speech. If your hands start to shake from the hit, stop reading and try something else for a bit. Like this tentacly-perfect idea for power extension and surge protection. Could use a few of these about the room and the house. Would probably help prevent cord tangles and wasted outlets.
I saw, while I was there last, an abacus or two in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greyweirdo's house, recently purchased as presents. Thus, here a quick primer on doing simple maths on it.
Glitter is a dangerous, dangerous, thing. Apparently, sprinkling someone with it can spark charges being filed. If all parts of the story are true, then the response to this is way out-of proportion, but that's what the guilty-until-proven innocent nature of these kinds of cases does. So keep your glitter under a watchful eye, lest it be used to spark criminal charges.
Lastly,greyweirdo, hollygrahm, or droewyn, could you give me an approximate time of arrival for dinner? I want to know when to start it so that it's ready and warm for you when you arrive.
