Watched the last half of Robin Williams’ Popeye, found out the soundtrack is available on Rhapsody =)
Watched most of Resident Evil: Afterlife, can’t believe they are up to five movies, that I have found reasonably entertaining, out of a video game I never was even remotely interested in.

I watched some Super Bowl commercials, in between all the rest. And made tasty nachos.

I’m sure I could look up the weight of the train, the weight of her car, and measure the distance from impact to final resting place, for both vehicles, but I don’t have a clue what the standard engineering formula is for determining how much of the energy required to lift the train out of the tracks, nor how to determine how much of that energy was imparted by impact from the car, and how much was its own momentum. Or the train’s rolling resistance on pavement.

But my guess would be ‘pretty darn fast’, as an answer to how fast the car was going.

It says something about humanity that this picture of my first attempt at using one of those pore strips, has overtaken a picture of some random naked guy at Fremont Solstice, as the most popular pic in my photostream.

When I yakked past them, they asked me to show them my tits, so I shook my vest covered chest, and then they mooned me. Good times =)

You could tell it was these ladies first kayaking trip on lake union. When the seaplanes started landing, they started freaking out, screaming and yelling in literal panic. Now I will admit the pilots like to cut as close as they can, but this guy isn’t touching down anywhere near as close as I’ve had them land next to me.

Living across the street from work, and with a view of the lake I kayak on, I’ve been thinking of cool things to do with the potential configurations. I want to setup a long-distance self-portrait, with the camera on my deck at home, and me in the yak on the lake. I want to setup a way to play with my cat while at my desk.

Easy would be to setup the camera fixed on an easy to get-to spot on the lake, and then a really long timer to trigger the shot. Cooler would be some sort of laser-targeting system that would let the camera find me anywhere in it’s view of the lake.

Easy would be to setup a laser attached to some sort of remote controlled servo, in the new place. Cool would be to setup a mirror-chain from my office to the office of someone with an exterior window, to the window of my place.

The Hooters on Lake Union in Seattle has been ‘closed for remodel’ for months now. I suspected it was a permanent closure since they didn’t seem to be doing any actual work on the place, and felt certain of my suspicions when they missed the memorial day weekend. Looks like I was right.

I didn’t see the moment he got stuck, but I think what happened is that he tried to squeeze in behind the Seattle Queen sternwheeler, as the bridge was closing. It’s the first time I’ve seen the bridge operator come out of his little room. He’d called the harbor patrol/coast guard for assistance, but then a boat exceeding the no-wake speed limit went past, and the sailboat was able to get unstuck in one of the troughs.
