I’ve got too many windows open and it’s sucking my computer back into the bronze age. I’m just going to post the mess of them here.
I’s a sad thing, but happens to everyone. The guy behind uppity-negro has passed on. Every time I dropped in there, I’d learn something. I don’t know if the site’s going to be kept up or even if it could be properly with different brains behind it. Russ Meyer has also just died. The amusing twist of mind man behind Faster Pussycat Kill Kill.
We in Vancouver have a new overnight quest. One that will require a little prep, but will be worth it. We have to go here. We’ve an abandoned town within reasonable distance. A jaunt into a modern ghostown. As I already list trespassing and clambering as hobbies, this simply sounds nice.
IBM scientists have measured a fundamental magnetic property of a single atom — the energy required to flip its magnetic orientation. This is the first result by a promising new technique they developed to study the properties of nanometer-scale magnetic structures that are expected to revolutionize future information technologies. Technology makes me happy. Spreading information, go now, more. We the people, etcetera et al. It seems to be a theme in my reading. I suppose that’s what happens when I find something I believe in. Which leads into this open letter from the computer industry to the music industry that is worth a laugh. This is also funny, though I admit, in a less intelligent way. Maybe one with more insanity and less precision.
To go with the horses head, there’s these. Microbe stuffies. I can imagine a row of them on my windowsill next to Animal. Make my window perch comfier yet that much more surreal. Bad enough the x-rays apparently make me a “wacky neighbor” (thank you Rowan). I think I’m especially in love with ‘sleeping sickness’ Hypochondriacs beware. Not, of course, that we don’t seem to be finding ways to deal with fear. Of course, sometimes it’s good to be wary. There’s weapons out there now that I remember reading about as fiction in Mondo 2000 when I was a kid. In fact, if anyone has any issues kicking around, I would dearly appreciate them. I’ve lost most of mine traveling along the way from age six.
