In which I have waited until the last minute. [dropcap]Y[/dropcap]esterday I got on Amazon and ordered a bunch of stuff for Christmas. Luckily I still have Prime, so I got 2-day shipping for free. (Free!) All of which means that I very well might avoid a hellish Christmas eve midnight run to Walmart. Yay! In […]
In which this was originally posted elsewhere, but I’m moving a copy over here because I wrote it and I can. Overweight is a metabolic issue and not a behavioral one. It’s currently the fashion to believe that overweight people suffer from sloth and gluttony; however, adipose tissue is not the result of character defects […]
In which there’s a sendlog. When mail is transferred from server to server across the net, this is what it looks like when the servers talk to each other. More or less. LOG: MAIN < = root@server.bmi.net U=root P=local S=381 [root@server ~]#delivering 1Raxum-0002J0-Cc Connecting to blahmail.goblinbox.com [66.240.255.128]:25 ... connected SMTP> EHLO server.bmi.net SMTP< < 250-fc8255128.aspadmin.net […]
In which you experience part of my day. Phone rings. I answer, “Technical support. May I help you?” A person immediately starts a harangue. She does not identify herself. She opens with, “Your message is wrong, because I live in Dayton and my Internet is down!” and ends with “There’s nothin’ comin’ on here at […]
In which there’s a whole new type of Polaroid in my collection! This camera takes a kind of film that is no longer being made, the remainder of which is all expired and which costs between $2 and $7 per shot. So naturally, I shot an entire pack of it in the bar last night.
In which Charlie just ups and gives me a whole entire box of old cameras. So this happened yesterday: That’s four Polaroids! And a Kodak! And three packs of Spectra! OMFG!
In which I accidentally buy a Kindle Fire. I did not need a new device. My Kindle 3 (the model now known as the “Kindle Keyboard”) isn’t even a year old yet, and it works just fine. After I sprung (sprang?) for the expensive but elegant and cleverly-designed OEM leather cover with the built-in light, […]
In which there’s a post of no interest to anyone who does not wear acrylic nails. Sunday I went to my favorite nail salon, LT Nails, over on Issacs street, for a fill. “A fill” is the procedure in which, after your nails have been growing out for two or three weeks, they “fill” the […]
In which I found this video from last April. Whee! Update: Same song, from last weekend, below the fold. Whee!
