"I'm your secret...(shhhhhhhh!)...Santa..." This is delightfully 70's creepy. I feel so dirty now.

My fax is blinkered, could you program your fax to make my fax hum a few bars, and I'll make up the rest?

I missed a bunch of days, dammit, but I'm not going to worry about it. Let me know if there was anything particularly good that I missed. So here's your daily reminder for today.

Hot damn, what was that first place? That tuna ceviche looks good.

Wait, what? -25 to -32 celsius? That's crazy. Yup. I'd see that and I'd be, "nope, time to move". I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't mind the DC-area cold, but I don't think I could handle shivering uncontrollably for hours at a time.

Yeah, my first reaction when I read that was, "pussy". More here. Oh, look, headphones endorsed my a fictitious -- albeit murderous -- character. What's next, what headphones would Lara Croft wear? Major Kusanagi? Dexter?

Emus ostriches freaking out

Wait, what? Sure you can. Pretty sure this has been posted before:

I had a power outage ~9-4, would have been the perfect time to take a nap, only I didn't. Just found out we're due for some more tomorrow.

A little, thanks. Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk

This made me laugh, because I noticed that every time Colin or Jeff stopped to shuffle their inventory, they'd stop getting attacked.

Thanks for sharing, Al and Mikey, it allows me to enjoy beer vicariously, since I can't seem to enjoy it directly as much as I used to (or maybe I never was, and only now am finding that out).

HRT iStreamer should work.

I don't even know why that jumping cat is particularly special, but I watched it several dozen times. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=365980490208352 Uh...NSFW.

This fucking rocks. I do need to listen to more jazz, though, that animation was amazing.

Homeland Does anyone else who watches this know what kind of music Carrie Matheson listens to? I know it's jazz, but more specifically -- it's early enough (last century early, not early early) that's it's still recognizably 12 tone and not completely scat or avant-garde, but it's late enough that it doesn't feel obliged to stay within traditional melody/harmony/structure etc. It's not as sparse or abstract as, say, Bitches Brew, so I think it's little earlier than that. She probably listens to a lot of jazz, but the type I am trying to describe is what I have been finding myself craving, and I'm having trouble finding examples. Need to find some harmolodics, because on paper, that sounds like what I'm looking for. Also: The Killing -- I don't know why they call this the killing, but at least they used the singular -- there's only one (well...that we care about). It should be called "Red Herrings". No, I'm kidding, I actually really like this show. The writer is impeccable -- captures the individual, the interpersonal, the social, and the political, and how they all affect each other.

I saw that before -- I just can't imagine a pilot attempting a ...what is that, 15 degrees? ... landing with that magnitude of crosswind -- all it had to do was change significantly, in one direction or the other, and...

That's outstanding for wireless.
