If you answered yes to any of those questions, or even if you didn’t, watch this. It’s long and kind of bizarre

I know a lot of people are making similar posts, but we do have snow (AVI, 3.1 MB) here in Mandeville, LA. And it’s getting heavier (AVI, 1.6 MB) than it was in that video, too.
I’ve really grown to loathe SUVs over the last 4 years or so, and it has nothing to do with their environmental effects. Rather, it has to do with the menace that they and their drivers present on the road. Here is a very interesting article on the rise of the SUV, and here’s a nice little excerpt:
According to Bradsher, internal industry market research concluded that S.U.V.s tend to be bought by people who are insecure, vain, self-centered, and self-absorbed, who are frequently nervous about their marriages, and who lack confidence in their driving skills.
Please, people. Unless you have some overbearing need for a truck with more seats, don’t buy an SUV. You’re just being an asshole to the rest of us, and a danger to yourself and your family as well.

We took a lab trip to Asian Super Buffet today, and on the way out, the golden lion by the door indicated to Joe that he really needed a smoke, and could he please bum one? Joe was happy to oblige but as you can see by his look of consternation, it was rather breezy out, and the lion had to go without smoke as the cig would not light. |

| Four displays. Three Computers. Two Operating Systems. One set mouse and keyboard. The mouse and keyboard control all three computers via a program called Synergy. The operating systems are Mac OS X Panther and Linux 2.6.8.1 (I’m having problems with 2.6.9, waiting for 2.6.10, so cut me some slack). The center computer with two displays is home-built, an Athlon 2800+ (what, only 32 bit?), while the laptop on the right is my lab workhorse, the 1.33 GHz 17″ AluBook, and on the left is my 500 MHz 15″ TiBook. They all have their own WiFi links to the house network, but the Synergy stuff is running over 100 Mbit/Full ethernet directly from the laptops to the desktop. My motherboard has two NICs built in, and the laptops have auto-crossover NICs in them, no need for crossover cables or switches/hubs/routers/etc. I’m very happy. |
EDIT: My 500 GB external drive is mounted on the Linux box and shared over appletalk (on the Ethernet, not WiFi) along with my Linux home drive to both laptops, effectively giving me one working filesystem.
