No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Happy Birthday Nutty!

Ugh sarameg, I hope your week starts going better.

I first I thought Palin was a good pick, then I started to have doubts, now I'm starting to think it was an absolute home run. I think I'm too influenced by the media coverage. Maybe I need a week of ignoring it and let the convention momentum settle now. I'm becoming more pessimistic though.

Happy Birthday, Nutty!

Re: the Thakoon collection.

Spats. Lots and lots of spats. Really? I don't get it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tep, have you tried the sport earbuds that go over the ear, like these: [link] ? I'm completely incapable of using any plain earbuds for exactly the reason you're describing, but I love over-the-ear thingies to death.

Do they sort of sit outside the ear canal, rather than snuggling into it? If I have earbuds that sit outside the ear canal, I have to crank up the volume (which is more a failure of my auditory physiology than the earbuds, I'm aware).

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Teppy, I've had these since I first got an iPod, and I love them.

Meanwhile, I got up to call into a 7AM conference call, which is at 9AM everyone else's time, and it's pretty much all about fallout from Gustav. I do not need to be on this call. And yet here I am.

That link doesn't show anything, Dana.

Gross on the conference.

Happy birthday, Nutty! I hope it's full of squash courts and tasty treats and captivity narratives.

Hmm. Can't tell if the problem is my link, or the Apple Store. It's the first result on this page:

I think it's the apple store/that product, since if you click on the link, you get the same "updating the store" notice.
