Wow. Someone put a huge archive of articles from Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society on The Pirate Bay.

The portion of the collection included in this archive, ones published prior to 1923 and therefore obviously in the public domain, total some 18,592 papers and 33 gigabytes of data.

The documents are part of the shared heritage of all mankind, and are rightfully in the public domain, but they are not available freely. Instead the articles are available at $19 each--for one month's viewing, by one person, on one computer. It's a steal. From you.

His full explanation is reprinted here: [link]

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

Twinkie Tiramisu

I liked the idea better when I thought it said "Twink Tiramisu". I need a break. Gone now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I hope shrift has left by now, but if not, have an AWESOME time.

I thought Brenda was saying someone had made twink tiramisu before. Mmm, tiramisu.

I need work to quit being insane. It's not that im that busy exactly, it's just a bazillion emails all basically demanding something happen right away (usually something I can't control) and my travel all up in the air and controlled by others (people want me to go to San Diego Monday. But aren't sure yet. OMG.)

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

You ever get the urge to reach through the computer and throttle someone on the other side of the country? ::sigh::

I asked what I thought was a pretty simple question: "How many X do we have where we have been directed to do Y?"

24 hours later, I get an answer back that says, basically, "We don't do Y anymore, because that no longer aligns with our business plan, so don't draw attention to Y."

Not even close to what I asked for. Not even in the same ball-park. I wanted a number; the idjit gave me corporate-speak.

t face-palm

The status is NOT quo.

Good God is Massachusetts humid and hot today. Feh. Glad my seminar is done and I'm heading out, though sad I didn't get a chance to see any localistas.
