So I'm getting ready for work and hear a familiar name. Sure enough, they're talking about the Stewart Mirror Lab, which cast the 3.5m honeycomb for my dad's telescope, the third they ever did: [link]

I remember visiting that furnace under the stadium, many times. It was freaking awesome.

Thanks, P-C! Fiona stepped up in Un-Am, but if I need multiple Scots, I will let you know.

Lee,

I have an alarm system and we can turn off the alarm for certain doors if we need to. For example, during the day, the basement isn't armed, but at night it is.

In real estate speak "awaiting your personal touch" means its a dump, right?

Could just mean you have to clean up the blood spatters left by the previous owners.

so my the school I attended 8 -12 had a massive fire this morning, Office building, lower school and at least 1 upper school classroom were consumed.

Speaking of which, which quote do you most slide into conversation in a way that they don't need to be recognised? Like, you know you're the only who gets it?

I get to use "I'm gay but we don't gay" more than one might think.

Er...do not abuse this knowledge at the next F2F. Or do. Whatevs.

Ahahaha. The trick is not traumatizing the more modest among us. But I think everyone goes knowing cleavage WILL be on display, given the preponderance of corsets at Prom. eta and given that I've bellydanced at several of the last gatherings in what are effectively decorated bra tops.

Indiana Jones engagement ring.

Eff yeah, I'd say yes.

msbelle, that's scary! Was anyone hurt?

Tom, I saw that yesterday! Hell yeah do I subscribe to Pat's Papers. So dorky.

This is fun. Or scary. Or whatever.

Who does Google think you are?

Ars Technica’s Casey Johnston has started a fun new game: find out what Google guesses is your age and gender. These “inferred demographics” are based on the websites you visit and are tracked by a Google cookie; they are used for advertising purposes. Given Google’s controversial announcement Tuesday that users will not be able to opt out of new privacy changes, learning what the company thinks about you seems particularly useful, and informative.

Google got my gender right, and guessed I'm 35-44. Hah! I'm 46.

eta: This is cookie-based. I get different results for my interests on my MacBook Pro than on my work computer.

Of course I do, too. Love him!
