Overconfidence A modern dance performance pushed me to the brink of uncontrollable laughter. I took a high-interest loan off my future self-control reserves just to keep it together. Poetry recitation while dancing was more than I could take.
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.
Ghostly Car Commercial A forwarded email about a British car commercial supposedly shelved because a ghostly white mist appears beside the car, at the very spot where someone had died a year earlier. Is it a ghost or just mist? You decide.
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.
