Occasionally, I hear that the reason "men are all alike", or at least that masculine features have less variety, is because the X-chromosome has kegabytes of unique genetic data, but every Y-chromosome on the planet is the same faded dirty limerick.

Does this really prove scientifically that we're all alike?

The smoke alarm hasn't misbehaved all morning. But I still need to get it maintained.

I'm beginning to wonder if I just left the dishes in the sink too long.

Arrr?

I'm not very good at talking like a pirate, so I don't think I'll be celebrating with everyone else Monday.

Incidentally, I don't care what you've heard, but Talk Like a Pirate Day is a secular holiday that was only recently appropriated by Flying Spaghetti Monsterism to win converts. But years before that, it was already widely celebrated in Kibology as well.

Regardless of your faith, happy swashbuckling to all.

(BTW, the best thing to come out of FSM has to be the Der Spiegel headline "Mein Gott, ein Nudelmonster!", for a German-language article that leaves the phrase "intelligent design" in English.)

Voice Post: Killed my computer

back

Well, I'll have the computer replaced eventually. I was close to getting a Mac mini at Fry's Electronics tonight, but I suppose my best two options are to either get one of my parents' old computers for free, or buy the upgrade I've been thinking about. I'll know which I'm doing tomorrow.

I could continue to waste time on the Internet, but instead I'll try to make my way to that live music event princess_nija posted about. Or, failing that, some kind of outside-the-house thing that promises joy of some kind. Downtown Tempe is much closer than downtown Phoenix, even if it's all collegey.

Remember how I said I was going out in search of adventure?

I pretty much fell asleep right after I posted that. I woke up about 90 minutes later, as TiVo switched to Metal Mania on VH-1 Classic. It's as if TiVo knew I was asleep way too early, and CNBC was the wrong channel to wake to.
