Shuffling into work on a Saturday, to set up some computers while there’s minimal foot-traffic. We’re going to to the 3-way shuffle. New box the LD, LD’s box to RR, RR’s box to the scrap heap. Normally, that wouldn’t be so bad, but doing all of the installing and configging will be pesky. I may be helping LD and LH swap desks, and pertinent computers, too. If I multitask, I foresee a 3-4 hour job, if everything runs smoothly.

Big Kahuna may be slipping me a bonus to do so… it’d be nice if that’s the case.

Sketch-a-move. Neat Idea for a toy car… it follows the path you draw on it. nifty concept. one of the more cool things I’ve seen lately.

Louise Klinker & Anab Jain are students studying Interaction Design at the Royal College of Art.

They’ve been asked by Mattel to take part in a competition to rethink toys based around model cars.

What they’ve come up with is genius. It’s a demo mind you – the video is faked, but the implications are really spiffy yin concept.

Is it spelled “y’all” or “ya’ll”? I thought it was the former, but I’ve seen it the latter a good deal recently.

VS disagreed with me about my opinion that being a Hooters girl makes you a stripper in training. I figure if you dress skimpy, and touch people to get better tips… you’re halfway there. (I was drawing out the analogy pretty far.) I think she got sensitive about it, because she was a cocktail waitress and was calling strippers “whores”.She also *liked* Bush’s immature sneers and stances during the debate, whereas I found ’em to look more than a bit petty. The debate wasn’t much of a debate, and so I didn’t watch for long.

Bro’s “friend” Andy is in a coma. Apparently he tried fixing his car while under the influence of something, and he ran himself over.

It’s hard for me not to laugh.. and if I had to pick someone to be run over by a truck, he’d be at the top of the list. Maybe that’s what he needed.. time in a hospital bed to run around inside his own mind and set things in order… perhaps when he wakes up, he’ll be a new man.

I doubt it, but there’s always hope.

I dreamt last night that someone wanted to steal my skin to make a line of animal-friendly leather products.
