Abroad and Abode
This is my lovely 2-bedroom apartment, artfully photographed by my artful photographer roommate. It is also being artfully offered to any clean, responsible person who wants to be in NYC this summer while we jaunt off until school starts. People we know get first priority, second priority for people who know people we know. Tell your friends.

My bedroom is the second one with the solid red bedspread. Welcome to my home! I've lived here since August, and will live here again next year.

News: Sorry
Tycho : I was really in a rush to put that post up, and it had a bunch of problems that needed to be resolved. Gabe was putting some points into the Wii to check out some of the new WiiWare stuff, and then an ostrich got in here some how, and shit got all fucked up. (CW)TB

9276 - bloody, floody monday.
Power went out last night at about midnight or thereabouts... my CPAP shut down, so I had a lovely night of snoring over poor BHK's shoulder.

Showered and shaved in the rainy dawn-dark this morning - fortunately, I had a company polo shirt to wear, since the iron doesn't work sans juice, either.

I wonder how the Old Order Amish feel when they hear that the "English" (non-Amish) are fretting about not having any electricity?

Worse than the lack of power was the severe flooding and high winds.

Statement as of 6:39 AM EDT on May 12, 2008


... Flood Watch remains in effect until 2 PM EDT this afternoon...

* expect moderate to heavy rain to continue through the early
morning hours. Rain will taper off from the southwest to
northeast in the afternoon. An additional one to two inches of
rain is possible.

* The heavy rain will cause streams and creeks to overflow their
banks. Also... urban areas prone to poor drainage will be
susceptible to flooding. As the water works its way into the
rivers... river flooding will be possible in the upper Potomac
and Shenandoah basins.


Now - power is back on at the house, and no more flood warning for Calvert County.

After work, went to the back doctor - much more fruitful response this time. getting my epidural, physical therapy and etc... hopefully a bit more productive than "no hope blah blah" from last one. I get my epi in about a week, a flexion exercise program, ultrasound, electrical stim, and massage.

Saw Aardvark's Tara in her other work duds at Panera... she cleans up well! BHK and she gabbed a bit - the 2nd store is now closed primarily due to crooked employees making off with merch. Upside, that's more time for them to be social.. maybe we'll hang with them sometime soon! The Lusby store rocks the party that much more, too.



Ah, Virginia. You never let me down with the custom plates.

No relation to the flooding post, prior.


Two books for me to investigate library-wise. We saw 'em at the bookstore last week, and I think they'll be better as temporary reads rather than permanent additions to our collection. I may change my mind after reading 'em.

Jack Handy explains the symbols on his flag
Comedy writer and Army Man publisher Jack Handy wrote a great "Shouts & Murmurs" in the most recent the New Yorker. Here's a small sample:
The plow with the four-leaf clover symbolizes the luck of the farmer.

The quicksand represents the travails of life. The hand sticking out of it is so you know it’s quicksand and not just a dirty spot on the flag.

The bat stands for eternal life, through our lord Dracula.

The sheaf of wheat symbolizes the bounty of the land, and the hope that soon more things will come in sheaves.

The parrot represents the need to communicate, even if it’s only squawks.

The tin of paprika stands for paprika, a spice I hope to learn more about.

Boing Boing challenge: draw Jack's flag. Link

Today on Boing Boing Gadgets
thinkpadx300rev.jpgToday on Boing Boing Gadgets we saw mugshots of the dumbest thieves in New York State, foresaw the return of crappy Tiger-style LCD games, and played with a frightening WowWee Chatterbot. John converted a houseplant's meaningless biometric readings into—appropriately enough—twitter posts; Joel lost a few extra pounds on a novelty velocipede, and Rob donned a useless anti-cellphone radiation suit. JVC and Kenwood gazed lovingly into one another's eyes. We also looked at a GUI-based music video; a transparent Eee hardcase; a phone of little use to onanists; an iPod file squirter; a gallery of shipping containter data centers; a scammy fuel-injection gizmo that outsmarts at least one Florida NBC affiliate; and AT&T screwing its own customers. We learned about Japanese cigarette vending machines, the fears of Thai children, everything there is to know about bicycles, and how to turn corpses into a syrupy fecal sludge. Don't forget the adjustable hot sauce. There were reviews, too, of Bruton's Solaris 52 solar and Solo 15 battery and Lenovo's x300 ultra-thin notebook. There's one thing we won't be reviewing any time soon, however: a portable gaming console from Apple.
