Elbert Hubbard. “Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped.” [Quotes of the Day]

Elthar just had me watch the first episode of OH! Super Milk-chan and I don’t think my brain will ever be teh same. I’m not quite sure HOW to describe this show. He said it best when he called it Di Gi Charat meets Ren and Stimpy. I’d say kind of, though I don’t think it ever gets as gross as Ren & Stimpy can get. It was fun, and I did enjoy it overall, despite it being just so warped.

I picked up a new phone a few months ago. I got the Sony Ericsson T68i. It’s a great little phone and I like it a lot. One issue is that there’s so many things it can do that I still haven’t gotten around to learning everything. Last night a friend of mine told me about a page with themes for my phone. You can basicly download graphics sets that become the default backgrounds. I chose the Trigun one from this page.

Now I’ve got all these ideas to make my own themes (hmm, maybe a chobits one…). The site even has tips on making your own themes.

It appears that Google just bought Pyra Labs. Pyra is the company that does Blogger.com. I’m sure Evan will have something to say about it soon. It’s an interesting direction for them to go in. But I’m not quite sure that I completely get the motivation behind it.

One part of it may be that blogs are starting to become a good place to get information. I have a few blogs I check for news on specific subjects (Wi-Fi News for example). Having a direct feed into a portion of the blogging world would get more people going to Google for information.

I rarely see any posts show up in my aggregator to do with people in animal suits. Yet, this morning there are TWO. The first is a minor one:

People in Animal Suits. My Interesting Day, Part 1 of 3: People in Animal Suits. [Antipixel]

The second one… I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry or run in fear. (It’s a pretty big download).

Harry Shearer. “If absolute power corrupts absolutely, does absolute powerlessness make you pure?” [Quotes of the Day]

Uh, this is unexpected. Rurouni Kenshin on Cartoon Network? As part of Toonami? Oh dear, I don’t want to see how much this gets edited for TV. I could see Adult Swim, but Toonami?

Uh, this is unexpected. Rurouni Kenshin on Cartoon Network? As part of Toonami? Oh dear, I don’t want to see how much this gets edited for TV. I could see Adult Swim, but Toonami?

I’m not quite sure how to react to this. My one hope is that people would go out and buy the DVDs after seeing this and see it uncut.

update: Toon Network already has it on their schedule.

How. Odd. There’s some people you just don’t expect to have fan fic written about. I wonder if this will start to become a sign of something. Like, you’ve made it when you have fic written about you (or maybe it means you’re a has been).

Grand Inquisitor and Supreme Arbiter of Earthling Law Lawrence Lessig leaned back in his ultra-schmancy executive chair and sighed heavily. He tilted back the absurdly ornate mitre the Aliens insisted that he wear as part of his robes of office and wearily rubed his eyes.

“Jack, I’d like to help, but I just don’t think there’s much I can do.” he said.

“Please, Larry… Lawrence… Grand Inquisitor: you’ve got to make them understand. I didn’t do anything wrong.” said Valenti, falling to his knees, “surely you see that?!” [ Golublog]

I did find it hysterical to have Valenti begging though.

I was reminded again why I tend to avoid places like BJ’s and Costco. I always come out of there with something I really don’t need. Last night I stopped into BJ’s with a friend of mine because he needed to get a new card and pick up some candy. And I left there with a large bag of pistachios and a box of Rice Krispie Treats.

I already had to hide the Treats from myself or I would have eaten half the box last night. Those things are like crack.
