Remodeling
I have moved the tissue box at work from the top-right corner of my desk to the top-left. Don't accuse me of being rash; this happened only after weeks of contemplation. The execution was flawless.

A/V Sync
The A/V sync in my backyard is broken. Construction noise across the neighborhood lags the motion by a fraction of a second. I'm going to find the foreman and ask him to push the audio track forward a quarter second.
The Seven P's
Proper Prior Practice Prevents Piss Poor Performance. This is the kind of poetic beauty that English can provide.
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.

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.
