As it’s now been a few days and people have either guessed what they’re going to guess or (as is more likely) it’s scrolled off of their friends pages and they’ve completely forgotten about it… I guess it’s time I provided some (hints for the music meme)
Original post here.
Just checked my grades. My physics grade hasn’t posted yet, but apparently I squeaked by with an A in calculus — yay! Just when I’d gotten used to getting Bs in calc!
<<sam does happy dance of the mind, but not an actual happy dance because sam doesn’t dance>>
[UPDATE: I also got an [...]
All right. This one seems interesting enough to give it a shot…
On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty-five songs on the list (no matter how embarrassing)
Write down a line of the song. Try to avoid putting the song title in the line.
Have your friends comment and see if they know [...]
fawnapril just went out the door on her way to work. She came in seconds later, asking, “Why are there Swedish meatballs in my car?”
Several seconds of shocked silence — I had the car last night, but as far as she knows, I don’t eat meat, in balls or otherwise. DO I? [...]
I must’ve been bored (and near a force plate) during one of my recent physics labs: on the back page, I found a note saying that my computer weighs 29 Newtons.
I am a hippie in many ways: I don’t own a car; I wash my dishes with eco-friendly soap; and I drive my partner crazy in the way my mom drove me crazy, by ripping off half of the paper towel when half of a paper towel is all I need to accomplish a [...]
museumgirl sent me a link to Technovelgy.com. Aside from having a not-immediately-pronounceable name, this is exactly the sort of unspeakably cool thing that makes me fall in love with hypertext all over again: a website devoted to technology predicted in sci-fi novels, interleaved with real-life examples of how those technologies have appeared.
Among other [...]

Dec. 9, 2004 | TORONTO (AP) — Canada’s highest court said Thursday the government can redefine marriage to include same-sex couples, but it added that [...]
Happy birthday to tiggrrl!
Thanks to tiggrrl, I’ve spent the last ten or so minutes laughing at uglyweddingdress.net when I really should be working. For those of you who enjoy a well-written review of a bad movie (and let’s be honest: who doesn’t?), this is the site for you. Go and have a little chuckle and sleep [...]
http://letitblog.com/epic/ (8-minute Flash movie, work-safe, narration-driven) - this sparked an interesting discussion in computer science class today. Definitely worth watching, although the ideas therein won’t be new if you’ve read Snow Crash and The Diamond Age…
I rode my bike to school today. 17.5 miles round trip, at an average speed of about 11 mph* — and for all the huffing and puffing and stopping partway up hills to rest, it took the same amount of time as riding the bus. If I didn’t have to take so damn [...]
