Wet

Not a good start to the day. Typhoon dropping buckets this morning, and then stepped out of the station to have the wind break the umbrella and deposit all the water from the surrounding trees onto me. Got to school completely soaked.

But then things got better. The first 2 classes have been canceled because a large number of students can't get to school in time.

Drying in my chair and looking out the window its really gusty. There is a lull of about 30 seconds then suddenly the wind rips past. Neat. I pity the poor teacher who has to be the crossing guard at the lights outside the school.

I think it's time for a coffee and a quick lie down.

Wired

We've a coffee machine. Should we ever have any furniture for guests to sit on we'll be be able to serve them coffee. Right now it's doing a good job of fueling my Sunday morning work-avoidance browsing. Coffee goes well with the greasefest breakfast of champions - sausages, hash browns and scrambled eggs.

What else is the Internet good for?

If you're not reading Darths & Droids, then you must be downloading porn.

Who would have thought that Episode 1 would ever be so entertaining?

Who would have thought Andrew would stick at something so long?

Congratulations on 100 episodes guys.

Live Long and Prosper.

Erh no, the other SciFi tag line.

Reductico ad Expellum

Over the last few weeks I've been reading about the movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Unfortunately it doesn't show a release date for Nippon, but then again although I'm interested to see it I don't want to give it any financial support. Probably I'll never get to see it.

However I could watch this excellent documentary about the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District court case. It's a couple of hours well spent.

Been rereading god is not Great. It's much more tolerable the second time, as I can filter out the more ludicrous bluster.

With the release of Grand Theft Auto IV I can't think of a reason not to buy a PS3. Except for that saving up money for future wedded bliss thing. How important could that be? Maybe I can convince Mari that jacking cars and banging hookers together in 16-person online multiplayer will bring us closer? It practically sells itself.
