Last night I had a dream in which google was attaching cameras and GPSs to dogs and cats, and then incorporating the images into google maps street view.
Yesterday there was a fly in our house. Inara and Kaia were interested in watching it for a while, but eventually I no longer wanted it to be there. So I caught it out of the air with my hands. At first I though "damn, that was pretty awesome, I just caught a fly out of the air." Then I thought, "eww, now I have fly on my hands."
You know you're in for an interesting time when you go to do some body work on your car, and your first thought is "this looks like it could be part of the Antikythera Mechanism."

I don't understand this whole hdtv thing... When I went away to college nine years ago, I got a new computer. It was a not-ridiculously-fancy-for-the-time 500Mhz Pentium 3, with a standard CRT monitor. Which did 1600x1200. Am I missing something here? Is it just that people expect TVs to be cheaper/bigger than monitors, or what?
At least 90% (probably more like 97%) of people should not be allowed to use computers with a general-purpose operating system (e.g. windows, os x, linux...)
