I've been disillusioned by Napster: I have this mp3 that I've listened to many times, "88 lines about 44 women".  I've always thought it was by TMBG because the file name is "They Might Be Giants - 88 Lines About 44 Women.mp3".  It turns out it's by The Nails.  I feel violated.  (But it still sounds a lot like John Linnell singing.  Maybe I have a *special* mp3.)

Some more Columbia things via RobotWisdom:
This map is truly amazing - wideopenwest.com/~krupp/NASA_De...

And this is a really long article about Columbia (and how it's a ridiculous enterprise) written in 1980.  I learned more than I thought I would about shuttles from this.  If you have no time, ctrl-f to "prestige", "truly", "tiles", "spitting", and "cryogenic".

Late at night, Animal Lad transverses the star-filled sky on his Omega-Stationwagon.  Having gained the powers of Super Ventriloquism and Insect Control from a radioactive source, he now battles the forces of evil armed only with an Ether Truncheon.

There's no better way to name mixed drinks than Lee's Super-Hero Generator.

I had a dream where I was taking pictures with my camera up at buildings in front of landscapes.  These two icons are my best reproductions of these photos.  They were next to each other in my dream also.  (I accidentally stepped in puddles of liquid nitrogen inside one of these buildings - and I was only wearing sandals and socks!  Good thing my feet didn't shatter.)

Also, I have a stamp sheet titled "Women in Jounalism."  I made a web page that represents the layout of the stamp sheet.  (I don't know why.)

What makes the weather?  What is an insect?  How do we measure energy?  Why does the sun shine?

As always, scientific questions are best answered in verse set to music.

Dave Barry has a weblog!  As of this posting, it's 2 days old, so there's not much there.  What's more, it's on a free weblog-host-site and uses the default setup.  +1 indie cred.

This is a pretty cool article about Windows and Linux.

Concerning Linux, I have been noticing a lot of articles about how Linux is up-and-coming in more common news-type places lately.  I have only little to moderate experience with Linux, but I think that what it needs is a very stable, very smart windowing system.  (KDE looks on the right track, but it doesn't quite cut it yet.)

PS - this is neat.  jwz.org/doc/linuxvideo... (via robotwisdom)

The London Review of Books has a section for personal ads.  A sample:

F designer/writer, warm heart, nice eyes, 50+, seeks M with whom to debate these ads’ wit, literary merit etc.

One of these is in my office.  (Sans monitor.)

Although things described as "Extreme" are generally dumb, I have found an exception among the humblest of domestic tasks.

The gallery of pictures is astounding.

In response to Elizabeth L.:

This brings to mind an article from TheRegister I read that was titled "'Prices are trade secrets' - stores unite to make DMCA look stupid."  A great way to make a law look stupid is to make insane arguments for which said silly law is used as a backbone.

Because it's now several days after Christmas, I would like to wish everyone a Very Merry Yule-Season!

As my gift to you, here's that old poem, "Tweeze Denied Beef Worker Isthmus."  Ideally, you'll all read it out loud to someone dear to you.

I am still working on a way to make these types of super-cool public statements known and shown.  They are forever inspiring, (and surprisingly prevalant) and it makes me think of how oddly secluded I am.

Also, I regularily violate at least 3 out of the 4 Principles of Hand Awareness.

Last week was Hand Washing Awareness Week.  There was even a competition to come up with the best rap promoting hand-washing--the winner gets a poster of Henry the Hand, autographed by Henry himself!
