Give that someone special a “I Choo-Choo-Choose You” card. It’s from that Simpsons episode where Lisa gives said card to Ralph.

Dan says wine can enhance one’s web design work
Dan says wine can enhance one’s web design work. The real question is which wine goes with what technology. A nice merlot might work with HTML 4.0 but not with XHTML 1.1…

Flores man may have made tools by accident rather than by design. Cheese should be used in more instances to explain scientific concepts. “So the cheese gets heavier as you approach the speed of light?”

Back from London
Back from London and up at the ungodly hour of 7:00 AM ET after getting to bed at 1:30 AM ET, which was the minute I got home from the airport. Still, six hours of sleep is better than none hours. I’m going to use the time to get some stuff done…lots of exciting and dread-inspiring things to do in the next couple of weeks. Trip pictures are forthcoming; luckily my camera battery lasted the whole time despite the charger being thousands of miles away and I took lots of photos.
But quickly, I learned a few additional travel tips on this trip (to add to the list):
- Never purchase a US to UK power outlet converter at a Canadian/Australian ex-pat shop. It will fail to work after a day or so. I practically had to splash water on it to get a good connection.
- When going through security at the airport, don’t wear a shirt that depicts a little girl blowing her head off with a gun, even though her splattered brains turn into butterflies.
- You know that bottle of unopened soda in the bag bouncing on your hip for the last 1/2 hour? Yeah, that’s going to spray everywhere when you open it, dummy. When I got home, my coat was so sticky that I just kinda pressed it to the wall to hang it up, no hook needed.
Oh, and I ate kangaroo! Not half bad, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to order it again.
