10月26日 IE sends cake to firefox 2 teamFor the first time ever, I thought the comments marked as 'funny' on slashdot were actually funny...
It's crazy how just a little symbol of goodwill can go a long way.
Cake to the gaim team when they ship 2.0.0, anyone? ;-) 10月18日 On driving in the rainDear Seattle,
I would like to bring something to your attention that a large percentage of you seem to have overlooked. That is the issue of driving with your lights on while raining. Before I continue, let me make it clear that it's not just a good idea, or something that "everybody else does just because they're trained to do it", but it's actually the law. From the driver's handbook:
"By law, your vehicle’s headlights must be turned on from a half hour after sunset until a half hour before sunrise. Lights must also be on any time conditions make it difficult to see people or other vehicles."
...
"On rainy, snowy, or foggy days, it is sometimes hard for other drivers to see your vehicle. In these conditions, headlights make your vehicle easier to see. Remember, if you turn on your wipers, turn on your headlights."
Remember also that daytime running lights do not count. Daytime running lights don't light up your back lights, which make it easier for someone to rear-end you. Also, PARKING LIGHTS ARE NOT FOR RAIN. Parking lights are for parking, as the name would suggest. If you were to park off of the side of the road at night, you would turn on these lights. In most circumstances, you will never need them. Consider them dead to you. Seattle, repeat after me: "Parking lights, you are dead to me."
Great.
Thanks for listening. I expect everyone to have their lights on now when I drive home, since it will no doubt be raining. 10月12日 The stupid things I've memorized...I heard Ali saying "One command to rule them all..." or something in the hallway...and the ENTIRE poem from the Lord of the Rings came back to me...[from memory...who knows, this could be totally off...]
three rings for the elven kings under the sky
and seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone
nine for mortal men, doomed to die
and one for the dark lord on his dark throne
in the land of mordor where the shadows lie
one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them
one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
in the land of mordor where the shadows lie
this also reminded me of something else that I have committed to memory...

Too bad I didn't put those neurons to good use...I have a feeling I'm going to want to reuse them I am older. |
