No More Black
I watched a movie I was definitely not the target audience for. Probably the only redeeming part was an exchange about clothing: "no more black ... only high-powered, neurotic, castrating, Manhattan career bitches wear black."

Forced through a fine mesh screen
Zapp Brannigan preps the troops: many of you will die for your planet, and a lucky few will be forced through a fine mesh screen for it. A small tribute to the finest captain in the military.
IHOP ... to the bathroom, quickly
I went to IHOP. Two of my party ordered All You Can Eat pancakes, which I argued was, for anyone with taste, at most one. "I guess we'll know in a couple of hours," I told the cashier. No reaction.
Self-Referential Signs
I love a sign that warns you not to bump your head on the very sign doing the warning. Also a small consolation for anyone who's ever watched a database "ruin" 12.34 into 12.339999999999999857891452847979962825775146484375.
Bring out the Gimp
The GIMP is a free Photoshop alternative, according to people who have never actually used Photoshop. For its tenth anniversary they ran a splash screen contest called Gimp Splash 10, and the Slashdot comments wrote themselves.
Concoctions of Caliginosity #3
Delta pilots took another voluntary paycut, so maybe my eighty-five-cent shares will be worth something yet. Plus this year's leap second, which you will need to remember to adjust your clocks for. Good luck with that.
Concoctions of Caliginosity #2
More thinking on Word Verification parsing, and I think it's doable without a Ph.D. Reduce each letter to line segments, match left to right against tolerances, and handle naughty letters that touch. Plus a beautiful piece of art: free cat.
Concoctions of Caliginosity #1
I'm launching a new series in which I shamelessly substitute substance with grotesque imagery. First up: psychotic cat. Click, then just stare. It sees into your soul. Use only as directed.
Steam Powered Harleys
A Slashdot piece on BMW's new steam engine that reclaims energy from exhaust heat. The real treasure is the comments, which only land if you know the factions inside the biking community. Steam-engine performance for Harley owners, basically.
When in Doubt....
Everyone's heard about the air marshals who shot the man claiming to have a bomb. Investigators then spread the bags on the tarmac and blew up two of them. So much for the art of defusing; apparently the easiest way to neutralize a bomb is to detonate it.
