BTW, happy new year
Jan. 2nd, 2012 12:31 pm2012 makes thirty years out of college. Damn, where did the time go?
Put an outdoor rink up in AT&T Park. Drive the Shark head up from the Tank, put it up there, and put los Tiburones in action against any of the following: the freaking Canucks, the thrice-damned Kings, or the effing Ducks. Probably the Canucks would get the best ratings. The Western Conference is more than the Dead Things and the Blackhawks. Hell, I'd make a road trip to Denver or Vancouver if the league insists on outdoor snow at rink level (sorry Edmonton and Calgary).
The Eastern conference can just quit hogging all the nice things!

Lord Auditor Miles Vorkosigan and Sir Samuel Vimes solve a case
Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax tearing through the Ibran Peninsula or meeting up with the Vicereine of Sergyar/Lady Alys Vorpatril
Any others? Suggestions welcome.

One more cat on the Lady Bast's lap
Nov. 1st, 2011 02:17 pmThe reign of Snickers, my Beneficent Feline Overlady, began December 27, 1996 and ended on Samhain 2011. She was a venerable sixteen years and two months old. She is succeeded by Their Felinitys Yukino and Hitomi, and who knows, perhaps out there is a little floofy princess/tyrant to take over shedding duties* from Snickers. Lady Bast will lead us together when it's time.
*Yuki and Tomi do their best to leave fuzz around, but you really need a longhaired kitty to leave lots of herself everywhere she goes.
Snickers, you were a most excellent cat. Lady Bast bless you.

rachelmanija takes a whack at playing Betan therapist for a certain Lord M. N. Vorkosigan during his early career. Would dearly love to see her do a post-Memory assessment.Oh hell yeah.

Sinfest nails it when it comes to the ubiquity of patriarchy. (thanks to @nkjemisin on twitter)
also: We are the 99 Percent
And Elizabeth Warren tells it like it is.
Also thanks topegkerr who is posting lots of good stuff about the #occupy(insert $CAPITALISTSTRONGHOLD of choice) movement.

pegkerr who is posting lots of good stuff about the #occupy(insert $CAPITALISTSTRONGHOLD of choice) movement.He did some great things for football by bringing diversity into his coaching and front office staff, and three Super Bowls are nothing to sneeze at. However, as a member of Raider Nation since both my birth and the franchise's birth, I am still quite ornery about the Los Angeles Exile and as an A's fan, I cannot abide the outfield abomination that is Mount Davis. He's probably in the same circle of the $AFTERLIFE as George Steinbrenner.
I have a new scientific foremother!
Sep. 14th, 2011 02:35 pmI want to send out a heartfelt muito obrigado for today's Wednesday Geek Woman post on Branca Edmée Marques. She was a Portuguese chemist who collaborated with Marie Curie. Now, I need to see how much of the Portuguese language links I can try to understand without resorting to babelfish.
Nope. Didn't feel them.
Aug. 24th, 2011 03:44 pmThat little cluster of earthquakes up in San Leandro? Didn't feel them at all down here in Sunnyvale. Not sure if I would have felt them if I was still in Fremont.
So, the Goddess of plate tectonics must be rattling the Hayward fault as a caution to us jaded Californians to go easy on the East coast and remind ourselves where the emergency kit is. All I can ask Her is not to jump up and down too hard, ok?

Just because Mme. Pele's mainland cousin, the Goddess of plate tectonics, seems to make her US home out here in the West, it doesn't mean that She won't get the travel bug and go elsewhere. So, since I know you all don't build for this (all that unreinforced masonry makes me twitchy), I'll just hope you all are safe and get home ok. And, once you pick up after Her, learn from us out here and out in Japan. Also, if you go to the "did you feel it?" section of the earthquake.usgs.gov website, you can provide useful data about how the quake affected you and the place you were in (like where you were in the building, what kind of building, etc.). Scientists and engineers need this data so that we get better prepared for the next one.
The fiber world is mighty!

Jun. 18th, 2011 10:51 pmDamn, I'm going to miss him. I remember yelling "Bruce is the voice of G*d on vinyl" and that means that the Big Man was his right hand. When I get home tonight, I am cranking "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", "Jungleland", and "Rosalita."
The choir upstairs needed some extra sax mojo, but I wish he was still here with us.

Announcement
May. 27th, 2011 04:42 pmIt's taken us quite a while, but whump and I have decided to make things official and merge our lives, book collections, and cats into a reasonably smoothly functioning unit. We've found a place to live in Sunnyvale close to our jobs (walking distance for me) and are in the process of getting rid of old stuff and making a space that is ours. The date of legalization is still TBD but hopefully Proposition 8 will go down in flames soon.

May. 12th, 2011 09:34 pmAll praise to the Red Wings for pushing the Sharks to their limit, and that's good practice for the rest of the playoffs.
