Close Your Eyes and It's Almost Like Radio - New York Times

This American Life is headed to Showtime. Sounds really weird, why can't it just be on radio. I think Ira Glass should hop over to XM or Sirius.

I"m so happy

one of my coworkers just came over and asked me "Roger, did you fart?"
I sniffed the air and said I don't think so. (I had though.)
Me: "I think it's food somebody made."
Her: "It smells like a bowl of turds over by my cube."
Me: "Yeah, I think it's some asian food."
That got a nice laugh out of the local cube farm.


I really do think it was food though. My farts are usually more rotten
than that. You gotta love the fermented vegetable asian get out of
jail free card though. Don't leave home without it.

Optimus keyboard

Everybody will have one of these in about 5-10 years. Such a great idea, why didn't I think of it?

Plame and Novak

Can somebody explain to me or provide a link to an explanation of why Robert Novak isn't these stories? Did he talk to the grand jury or what? He was the first to publish her identity right?

I just had to blog this.

Mobile blogging with blogger

I just tried some mobile blogging here on blogger. Basically, you just send MMS messages to go@blogger.com and they are automagically posted. As you can see it's a work in progress: http://oddmax9.blogspot.com/
The intended photo can be seen here: Back of Philadelphia Museum of Art

With Cingular I get unlimited MMS sending and receiving for $3 a month. That is an amazing steal, if you ask me. Look for tons of pic posts on the blog and also flikr in the future.

Also, I totally hate it when I accidentally install two different anti-virus programs on the same computer. What a headache.

Ciao.

Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy

I recently got this book: Amazon.com: Books: Twilight in the Desert: The Coming Saudi Oil Shock and the World Economy, but I haven't had time to read it and it's very technical. I think heatkernel has read some of it and can maybe enlighten some of us to its worth.

The future leaders of America.

(This following "report" was actually turned in to one of my colleagues. This is from a lower-level College Prep physics class. It is entered here exactly as it appears on the paper. Yes, this guy is a native speaker.)

The BGM-109 Tomahawk Cruse Missile

Its pinpoint accuracy makes the Tomahawk the idea long rage weapon. If it from the battleships in the Persian gulf or the submarines of the Mediterranean this missile is the best of the best in long range missiles.

After being launched a soled propellant rocket makes cretin that the missile is on corse and at the right altitude. The soled rocket is something like a big firework. The fuel is turned into a solid like in the space shit with soled oxygen. The fuel in this rocket is packed with a type of gunpowder like a bottle rocket would be. This part of the rocket is known as the booster witch weighs about1400Lbs.

CCTV in George Orwell plaza

The George Orwell Plaza in Barcelona has 24/7 CCTV apparently. What would Eric Blair think?
