Groundhog Day is a great movie. What I'd like to see is a Groundhog Day edit sitting next to Groundhog Day in Netflix which is just the movie cut such that it is the timeline as seen by an in-world viewer that is not part of the time loop. That is, you see the setup, ...

Looking out the back porthole of the spaceship, she realized she'd left the war running.

For some reason I've felt the need to open Skype for the past day. That's weird, as I never use Skype (I generally use Google Hangouts). Apparently I skimmed over an article on their outage and it triggered some neuron that said "remember Skype, you used to use that, maybe you should click on it"... ...

I've moved the blog onto its own VPS, running Zinnia (a Django based blog platform). It's using the Zinnia Bootstrap theme, and hopefully most of the old content will have ported over properly. The server has a (free) SSL certificate, so you can, should you wish, browse or comment using SSL (I really can't imagine ...

Colleague (Mike Lin) has (re)launched his almost-rhyme-finding play site (that is, it finds almost rhymes, it's not trying to almost do rhyme finding).  Don't know that I'll have enough time to get back to poetry soon (Planet Python sighs a sigh of relief), but fun to play with.

She almost missed Schroedinger's cat door.

"Your clone's warranty expired upon fertilization."

Jennifer disappeared soon after perfecting fusion.

Embarrassingly, his clothes did not follow.

Blue-collar photon entanglers started looking.

These Armageddon parties need to stop.

Inanimate crystals were her best clients.

Used to be that I'd have a party every Solstice and Equinox.  Somehow it just slipped past this year.  Still, I did eventually remember it, so happy Solstice everybody.  Enjoy the longer days, enjoy the time with family and friends, enjoy just being.

I really do love Toronto.  I've never been anywhere else that has such a riot of cultures all flowing (relatively) smoothly along beside each other.  Faces on the subway are so varied that it seems like a United Nations meeting.  There's every type of restaurant you can imagine and quite a few you wouldn't have ...

Soni and I moved into our new apartment over the last two days.  Long couple of days.  Our old building's administrator told us two days before the move that we couldn't use the elevator in the period for which we'd asked, so we had to reschedule the movers at the last moment.  They called to ...

I came down with a flu a few days ago.  Have been at home sleeping since, seem to be over the worst of it.

On the extremely bright side, Soni brought home the new laptop yesterday.  Vista really does suck rocks... how can an uber-laptop like this crawl under Vista?  Anyway, I've shrunk the Vista ...
