Nothing like success

Nothing reminds of one’s own failure better than the success of others.

Finally

Finally, someone has designed a set of Universal Construction Kit, complete with adapters for making connections between Lego and bristle-bricks.

G1 WTF

Friday, March 9th, 2012

My G1 phone has suddenly gone crazy. The menu that comes up when you hold down the power button is missing the options for silent and airplane mode, and the screen refuses to lock. The home button isn’t working either, or not rightly. It will awake the phone if the screen has gone dark, but it won’t take you back to the the homepage if you are within any menu.

Strange.

I suspect it is all part of their plan to convince me to upgrade sooner than later. I keep hoping it will last me until T-Mobile gets the iPhone, but doesn’t look good now.

Someone has set up a tent, under the trees, in my back yard.

Not yum

The owner told an investigator last year that employees didn’t wash utensils, pots and racks with soap, because it would “alter the taste of the product,” according to the warning letter. Instead, they rinsed tools in boiling water and dipped them in a bleach solution. The inspector said that method was ineffective.

Surely not the same doughnuts I was smelling this morning.

A lenticular cloud formed over mt rainier (not seen), and is now being torn apart by a jet-stream. I think. Looks cool.

I was already awake, but when all three news copters are taking off at the same time, I figured something was up, and sure enough, there was a boat taking on water. Of course it’s in a quadrant of the lake I can’t see without going up to the roof, and I wasn’t dressed yet =p

Still, the long exposure of one of the copters leaving looks kinda cool.
