  1. "Latest poll suggests Americans question the Big Bang..." *Sigh*

      You act like you're surprised. Some segment of the American population would question gravity if you phrased the question the right way.

      Flaky buttermilk biscuits are one of the foods that take me back to my childhood in my grandmother's kitchen.

  3. Let's say you get a strange email with both title and subject being in Chinese/Japanese. Do you open it or delete it?

    1. Greg H.

      Greg H.

      If I get a strange email, I delete it. The language is immaterial in this decision.

  4. Woohoo! I got that science job I was waiting for! I start next Wednesday!

  5. Wow so I woke up to 3 calls and 6 e-mails about job opportunities. One interview today, one interview tomorrow, I may potentially be teaching English soon, and I start training as a contractor for Google tomorrow.

  6. I've often heard that two wrongs don't make a right. What about misquoting while plagiarizing?

      Two wrongs don't make a right, but two wrights can make an airplane.

      Indeed. Fortunately, I get to do what I love, and get paid for it. That's what they call win win.

      Work/life balance is very important. It keeps people more productive.

  11. quick questions.1. what is "swag"?2. is it relative?3. does dual booting my phone give me "swag"?4. does running a hackintosh with 4 other operating systems on a PC give me "swag"?....social laws are stupid

    1. Greg H.

      Greg H.

      Swag is one of those words that I wish I could beat out of the English language with a stick. Every time one of my kids uses it, I physically cringe.

  12. Why do people immediately associate the acronym UFO to mean an alien craft? U.F.O stands for Unidentified Flying Object. It could just as easily be a foreign nation's aircraft and not some otherworldly visitor.

      This is, once again, the lamentable problem of a term used technically in a specific field (in this case, by pilots) being usurped by the general public for use in a way that wasn't originally intended. Like the word theory.

  13. Happy birthday to me!

      Greg H.

      Awesome! I can put it with my dehydrated water, frequency grease, and chemlight batteries!

      LOL. Sounds a lot cheaper than model railroading too. <.<

      And if it continues to be this nice through the weekend, it might be a good time to go to the lake. Mwa ha ha.

  17. Fell down and borked up my ankle but good. Just call me "Hobbles" for now.

      Yah, it happens. Cats are out to get me, I can see it in the furry little faces.

  18. Stitches are out, jaw is back to normal (minues the small hole they had to drill in it, and at last I can bite into charred animal flesh straight from the grill. All may not be right with the world, but I'm pretty content.

    1. Greg H.

      Greg H.

      Well, I have to admit, it's not bad. The wife and kids are gone for the weekend (until Sunday), so I have the place to myself, if you don't count the cats. Time to catch up on some reading and play some Civilization V.

  19. 1st Tropical storm of the season, Alberto, formed this weekend off the coast here where I live, looks like it's going to be a long hot summer...

    1. Greg H.

      Greg H.

      Ah, North Carolina in the summer. Hot as the blue blazes with a thunderstorm in the afternoon just to keep the humidity level interesting. And to think I am moving back there next summer.

  20. Surgery time. Going in tomorrow to (finally!) have this abscess taken out of my upper jaw.

    1. Greg H.

      Greg H.

      Also turns out it was not an abscess, it was a cyst. I was unaware those could form inside bony masses, but apparently calcium structures do not deter your body from forming them.

  21. Surgery time. Going in tomorrow to (finally!) have this abscess taken out of my upper jaw.

    1. Greg H.

      Greg H.

      The surgery itself wasn't bad. The healing it a bit painful. The stitches keep getting caught on things and pulling. I've managed to hit myself in the mouth with my own hand twice since then, to generally hilarious results.
