All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For Tom: Rejecta Physica

Kulula-air tries not to take itself too seriously

Dubbed "Flying 101" it isn't the typical Kulula logo-jet.

Someone there clearly has a sense of humor. The entire airplane is covered with details about the plane, including arrows pointing to the more interesting parts.

"The big cheese" describes the captain's window. An arrow points to the aircraft's registration, calling it the "Secret code."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now I feel bad, because I encouraged a coworker to try to figure out something herself, which resulted in literally hours sitting on hold with the federal government, and it turned out I could answer the question in five seconds. Well, she had the information to answer it, too, but she couldn't read my handwriting. Oops.

And back to last night's Daily Show, I heart Austan Goolsbee.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Perkins - i just got over a case of conjunctivitis. If i hadn't already scoured my entire house and laundered everything not stapled down i would share some of the virus with you. My advice: go around touching doorknobs, then your eyes.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Groundhog Day!

I'm writing a new column. About my 4K registration experience.

Perhaps someone might find this interesting: Take a Second Shot at Understanding Math

Mathematics tends to bisect people into either fascination or annoyance. If you're in the latter camp, or actually like math but can't quite get a hold of it, a Cornell professor is blogging a kind of re-introduction to math for adults.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Great. New Guy is out today, and I forgot to ensure he gave me explicit prep for the meetings he wants me to cover. One I can wing, one I've never been to before, and I have no idea what they'll want from me.

I knew he'd forget to give it to me of his own volition, but he was busy when I left yesterday, and it totally slipped my mind.
