What do you call baby mutton? Lamb. What do you call baby beef? Veal. What do you call baby sausage?

Linklets!

I'm changing outfits so often for this job I feel like "Red October Ken". Tuesday was khakis and a polo. Wednesday was short-sleeve blues. Thursday was a suit. Friday was short-sleeve blues again. Today we're in the battle dress uniform (BDUs) -- the green camouflage outfit. Since it's still warm out, we've got the sleeves rolled up. Any ( Read more... )

...but I think that anonymous livejournal drama is the kind of behavior that I thought I'd stop seeing once I got out of seventh grade. It would be poor form for me to slag someone in front of an audience that included their close friends, so I don't think I'll engage in that kind of crap. KTHX!

We can blame the Feds all we like for New Orleans, and I do blame them to some degree. Not sending the USS Comfort ASAP, cutting Army Corps of Engineers funding for the levees to pay for Iraq, etc., and the list goes on. But the Federal government is not the biggest bad guy out there. On NPR this morning they talked about New Orleans cops ( Read more... )

So SOS is finished. While I was not selected for the Clebe McClary award, I was selected by my peers as the Outstanding Contributor for my flight, and earned Top Third honors. Those are one-per-flight and four-per-flight honors, respectively, which places me in the top 10% of Air Force officers out there. As Captain Benjamin Willard once noted ( Read more... )

Sarah's Pa has minor pigs. Pass it on.

31 hours ago I was in Bethany Beach, DE, saying "I'd love to go kayaking today. Let me just check this one thing on my work laptop, and double-check the date on those orders for next week..."

Pants-shitting terror is the name of the feeling you get when you look at a big official piece of paper that says "PROCEED ON" and it has today's date on it ( Read more... )

The actual first episode of Firefly will air tonight on SciFi at 7pm Eastern. I understand they'll be airing them in the DVD order (as Joss intended them to be shown), so tonight's episode will be "Serenity Part I" instead of "The Train Job". (via z3p)

Here's where you can find a translation of the Chinese slang used in tonight's episode, and here' ( Read more... )

BORF, the D.C. graffiti artist who made my trips into town on the red line memorable, has been arrested. He's 18 years old! Not surprisingly, his radical ideas about property and revolution have already occurred to others. He's not much of a revolutionary. He probably smokes a lot of pot and thinks he's "really deep." Still, I love his ( Read more... )

This PDF contains the AMD complaint against Intel. Not surprisingly, Intel has worked very hard to maintain their chokehold on the x86 processor market. Allegations in the AMD complaint include that Intel has bullied suppliers, "beating [them] into guacamole", and "pressur[ing] HP's senior management to consider firing" AMD-friendly vice ( Read more... )
