Study: Instant Messaging is Surprisingly Formal. Interesting... I'd especially believe this part: "For example, it took two women on average 41 seconds and nearly 10 exchanges to close a conversation. This is similar to the prolonged goodbyes that characterize face-to-face communication. Men, perhaps not surprisingly, ended their IM sessions more ( Read more... )

I think I've just seen the most brilliant concept car ever. The only downside I can think of is, well, there's not much cargospace (cargo space = invaluable when you're designing for the market they are. trust me, I'd know ;)). I have to concede I do think its kinda ugly, but that's ok. The concept is still ingenious! About time car makers finally ( Read more... )

Not really much of any substance to say, but I feel like updating for some reason, so ( Read more... )

After posting on a silly note to anowyn about her topic about the relative intelligence of cats and dogs, I have to admit the urge to ramble about it a bit more... that, and my usual 'wait, that makes no sense' desire are kicking in, so...

Yeah so, this giving up caffeine thing I've decided to undertake isn't nearly as easy as it should be. I've managed to cut back-- and rather substantially at that-- but I still haven't managed to cut it out completely.

Well... maybe just a little. *cough*

Well, the swelling in my throat finally went down enough that I can swallow without gagging (there for awhile even small sips were too much *ugh*), and the last of the pain finally dissipated... I can only imagine this is a good sign. Granted, because somewhere its written that there should be no peace for Meg atm, my asthma immediately kicked up ( Read more... )
