It’s all over the news. Schiavo died today from starvation/dehydration 14 days following the disconnection of her feeding tube appartus. CNN.com reports: “Without liquids, it could take Schiavo two to four weeks to die from dehydration.” I don’t get this though. Upon entering the office today, we began arguing about how long the human body… Continue reading Schiavo Dies 14 Days After Feeding Tube Removed

BoingBoing TidBits
Via BoingBoing, we learn of the Watsui Cow’s rather well-endowed head. Link Suprisingly, there’s very little information discovered about the watsui cattle through a quick google.com search. I also checked the Wikipedia, but nothing there either. I’d write something if only I had found a relevant source. Also, this rather funny sign:
SMS 2003 Health Check Results (Techie)
The health check was more or less a complete success. We didn’t actually have any real problems in our environment, though we were given some performance tuning options to resolve any that *may* arrive later. That said, the single most important piece of information regarding an SMS 2003 engineering task has been this: “The SPN… Continue reading SMS 2003 Health Check Results (Techie)
Learnin’ From the Best (Techie)
Today I’m learning some new tricks in SMS 2003. Not that you want to read about that, I’m just laying the ground work for my excuse to ignore this blog. At any rate, I’ll be working with Brett F. at Microsoft to do a “Health Check” of our environment through Friday. Don’t expect anything monumental… Continue reading Learnin’ From the Best (Techie)
Vermin
I was just insulting a friend at work with the classification of “varmint.” I had actually misspelled it to match the colloquial pronunciation, but I stand corrected. Andy didn’t know of what I was speaking, so the insult fell a bit flat. Upon redirection of his attention from work to more serious matters, I have… Continue reading Vermin
The Ancients Knew
Space.com is showing us satellite pictures (from space, no less!) of ancient sites significant to extraterrestial matters. It’s fascinating to read about civilizations long before ours that understood the sun’s movement around us. That is, I’m pretty sure that the people of yore did not grasp the concept of a heliocentric solar system. It was… Continue reading The Ancients Knew
Free Heroin
Vancouver is one the three sites in Canada to try a government-supported drug program. This program, unlike others, is aimed to push drugs rather than to eliminate them. Their plan is to offer medically administered drugs to people that will show up three times a week for the dose. In doing so, addicts will not… Continue reading Free Heroin
Do you…Flickr?
The folks at Flickr have been rumored to be in discussions with Yahoo on a potential purchase. All rumors aside, the news became a reality Sunday when they announced that they had, in fact, reached an agreement with Yahoo for the purchase of Flickr (and Ludicorp). I hate seeing this happen to seemingly innovative startups… Continue reading Do you…Flickr?
St. Patrick’s Day at Meehan’s
Amy, I, and Balthazar all went to Meehan’s this evening to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. It was an excellent venue for the event, though it was pretty much standing room only. If it seems a bit odd to bring a two-year-old to an ale house, it is. However, Meehan’s catered to all until 8:00pm on… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day at Meehan’s
Omnifi is Here!
I got my Omnifi bundle today from woot.com. I was so eager to get into it that I immediately opened the box and grabbed the documentation to begin reading. I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to play with the parts until much later, so I figured this would satisfy me. This thing is cool!… Continue reading Omnifi is Here!
