Zero to 290 in 3.8 seconds
VROOM!
Christ, i am looking back at those last entries (after six months of radio silence) and wondering how i am going to survive January. There is no way i could pick one of those things to pass up, though.Seeing as how i still have a syllabus to plan, classes begin, and i am trying to negotiate a better gig at work at the same time, i'll be a busy, busy grrrl.
Let's hope for a good old-fashioned manic phase. And not this hypomanic-depressed-panic attack-filled-mixed-state bullshit i've had going for almost a month. This sucks, but it is par for the course at the end of semester, i guess. These are the choices i have made. Bleah.
Speaking of which, i should try to sleep and see if i can't reset the brain back to normal for work tomorrow. It's worth a shot, anything could happen, in theory.
Happy New Year!

Stroller Bloat
Strollers seem to be the new SUVs. Christ, people, if you cannot get it down the aisle of the bus or the train, then perhaps it is not the best choice to commute with. If people cannot disembark because of you under normal circumstances, you are a fucking safety hazard.i understand that it is nice not to to carry all the paraphernalia, but you aren't going into the wilderness.

Comments fixed?
Oh, it looks like way back on September 5th i had an IP blocked with no number entered, so that effectively turned off the comments. i guess i didn't notice since i had turned them off for quite a while due to spammers. Whoops! And i thought you didn't love me anymore. Let's see if it works now. If anybody is still out there, that is.Holy crap, i never thought about it, but comment spam is of course a form of googlewhacking. Huh. In other news the comment spam has begun to pour in, but it's nice to hear y'all check in, so i'll just delete it. i changed the text so it doesn't read "c*mments", so let's see whether that helps.

Good Cop, Bad Cop
Wow, on the way home, i saw the largest Paddy Wagon, er, "Incident Control Unit", i have ever seen! Unsurprisingly it was heading over towards the Fenway at 17:30.It was the size of a firetruck, but blue and with internal cabin space. Certainly not designed to be inconspicuous.
Gee, i wonder if they are anticipating more aggression than usual from the crowd after killing that girl and shooting some other people in the recent past? Whoopsie!
(Seriously, though, what is UP with the "Yay my team won, let's break that chick's windshield while she's in the car and then flip over that guy's SUV"? Fucking Boston.)

Timothy Leary's Dead
But it would have been his birthday today.
We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.

"America's Stonehenge"?
Pardon me if i am skeptical. This could be interesting to visit, however.
(The pictures without the chain-link fence look a bit more impressive...)

National Trails Day
June 5th is National Trails Day
Trails provide Americans with a variety of opportunities to improve their health through physical activity. National Trails Day, which is held the first Saturday of every June, unites hundreds of organizations, parks, retailers, and health providers that are hosting events with information and activities honoring trails across the United States. The theme for this year’s event is “Trails and Health... A Natural Connection.” National Trails Day is a good time to start a physical activity program.Lots more good stuff in link

Oh, wait
Nobody is going to jump out and shout "April Fools", are they. i was really hoping to hear that this was all a joke. Dammit.
Environmentalism, wow.
 | Well, i have returned to my crunchy roots. No, i was never a deadhead or a phishhead, bite your tongue. i am newly car-free and lov... |
| Well, i am car-free, anyway. i wish it were out of nobility rather than being a fuck-up, but what're you gonna do? And just in time for Earth Day 2K4! |  |

Stretch Break
My friend Jenblossom reminded me to go back and check for this piece of software, i was waiting for the OS X version.
A friend at work had a consultation with an ergonomic specialist on the faculty who designed this cool software to remind you to stretch. (It is for people with RSI problems.) You can set it for how frequently you want to be reminded. It also works as a good way to notice that you have been on-line too long.
It is called Stretch Break and is $45 commercially, with a free 10-day trial:
But there is also a kids version that pretty much does the same thing for free:

There is a pretty good description there.

Safari
Last night i looked at this page on Safari, and the sidebar was stuck on the bottom of the one long middle column instead. Can anyone else see that?
(5/12/04 EDIT: It was an unclosed center tag. Good to know. Weird that it did not bother other browsers. Stupid picky Safari.)
