Oh, the entrepreneurial spirit!

It is absolutely impossible for me to see this container without hearing the sonorous voice of James Earl Jones in my head, intoning, “If you only knew the power of the Dark Fruits.” And I’m afraid to say, it only gets sillier from there.

Tastes pretty good, though.

The opening track is a very short song called Moving to Massachusetts. Like all stories, it’s true.

I made all the noises. Equipment used: Rode NTK microphone, ProTools LE.

The next track will appear on February 2nd, 2009. It will probably be somewhat less short and less a capella.

YES! DIE, DST, DIE!

I knew there was a reason I voted for that man.

Goodness knows, I have no problem with using energy consumption as the axe to grind DST away on. But I would also love to see more attention paid to accident rates in the month after each switch, and an assessment of the economic burden of maintaining all that crufty, buggy, time-change computer code. I’m not joking on either point. Code for deltas between static time zones is crufty enough.

Edit: I found some more-than-hearsay discussion of accident rates. Stanley Coren’s Sleep Deficit, Fatal Accidents, and the Spring Shift to Daylight Savings Time appears to be the most widely cited study. Google books has previews of David S. Prerau’s Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time

Several of my pals had their sites rated by Typealyzer. I fed it the URLs of all my Wordpress sites, and apparently I am an ISTJ twice, and once each an ESFP, ESFS, INTJ, and INTP.

Ever wonder why so many metal band logos look alike? Stop wondering.

Not the bike shop I usually go to, but when an out-of-true wheel swiftly devolved into a totally unridable state, Broadway Bicycle School was fortunately in carrying distance, so that’s where I went.

The parts and labor seemedto add up to a little more than I would have expected, but holy crap, they did such an amazingly good job.

I think the bike rides better now than it did when it was brand new.
