*60 activates call block. I'd been getting annoyance calls from a "disconnected number", so I did the smart thing, and added that number to my block list. Simple, elegant solution. Speaking of calls, I spoke with my doctor's office, and had to phone up workman's comp in order to schedule my MRI and get my leg brace... waiting for a call back. They're supposed to recall by end of day today.

Oddly, I got another call after activating it.

My new phone came today... much nicer than the $6 phone I was using as a temp. That will be relegated to the tech-box in case of emergencies. My only complaint is that the new phone takes 3 C batteries... and my charger seems to only handle AA and AAA as well as 9v clips. I will concern myself with it more as the batteries grow weak.

This is my kind of "running of the bulls". Thanks, sweetalyssm! I think the horns were attached a la Steve Martin's Arrow through the head method. See also Ralph's screen test.

For Ray, who was right... ( Batroc is indeed a Frenchman, not Belgian. )

Some bright people at MIT have figured out that if the U.S. government plans to increase intelligence-gathering operations on its own citizens, there's no reason at all that U.S. citizens shouldn't be gathering intelligence on the government. And so they are.

Flashback cartoon, trippy video and a nifty set of samples in flash. Light and sound spirographics, via metafilter... note that both have sound, for any office workers.

Addictive lure of data (oh, I recognize some of the warning signs.)
