If I was dating at all, I might find this guide to nicely breaking a date useful.

“Meary can not live alone. She feels lonely everytime. …She is the mirror which projects your feeling…Meary has a dream..in which she makes a friend all over the world. If someone points at your Meary and ask you what it is, please tell him that it is a name of ‘Meary,’ and divide a little of your Meary into the man.”

Yet another link found from Boing Boing. This one is an Meary. I want some! Here’s a link to some pictures of Meary.

This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Compact versions of classic films!

Cellphone Theater.

Slowhand sez: “This is an odd little art project, entirely unrelated to the war, by a warblogger: short little stick-figure animations which are digested versions of classic films (with gratuitous decapitations edited in as neccessary), made suitable for display on early-generation web-enabled cell phones, but now posted to the web in general.”

I’m not even sure that I can pick one I like more then the others.

I was cleaning out my RSS feeds and discovered that somehow Ernie the Attorney had dropped off. I think he’s got one of the more interesting Law Blogs out there.

Yesterday my friend Hank paged me to say “Guess what! I got a TiBook!” I laughed because this was one of the people who laughed at me a year ago when I got mine. He loved it, he was able to go home and have it and the Airport he got up and running in minutes. He’s also been enjoying OS X quite a bit (he’s an old unix guy).

On that same subject, I stumbled on Mac OS X: The Search for OS Canaan. It’s a blog by a few folks making the switch. It’s pretty good. Forget Apple’s hype-filled ads, this is much nicer IMHO and a heck of a lot less preachy.

I think Apple’s biggest obstacle is overcoming the view that people have of them. People have this preconception about Apple based on old MacOS. I’ve seen people on mailing lists talk about why they don’t like Macs and 3/5ths of their reasons don’t even apply with OS X.

For some reason when I installed Spamassassin I couldn’t get Razor to build. Now I did! Hopefully this will help me filter the spam I’m getting a little bit more.

Use your ibook or TiBook from your desk a lot? You should check out the iCurve laptop stand from Griffin Technology. I know a few people who would love this, heck, I wouldn’t mind having one for work. It would show off my swanky TiBook much more ;).

Oscar Wilde. “The difference between literature and journalism is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.” [Quotes of the Day]

Just what is wrong with people these days?

NEW BEDFORD, Massachusetts (Reuters) — Dozens of students were told to undergo AIDS and hepatitis tests after their teacher had them share a needle to draw blood during science class, a school official said Thursday. [CNN]

This teacher should lose their job for such incompentence. I mean, how could this guy be so careless?

Update: Phil Ackley asked in the comments ‘what about the students that actually did it?’ I thought about commenting on this too. I didn’t because I really have no idea what I’d expect a 7th graders to know. Looking back, I remember having ‘drug education’ back in 6th grade. So I guess I’d expect at least one or two of the students to have had a clue and said something.
