With everything going on in the world, I’d forgotten that it’s the Equinox today. Thanks to Antipixel for providing the reminder. Happy Spring everyone! It’s about time.

Isaac Asimov: “It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.” [Quotes of the Day]

I just want to know how the heck they thought this one up. From Boing Boing, Xeni brings us this tidbit:

wacky “Mighty Midols desktop app” combats “forces of Monsteruation”
Alloy.com is running a bizarre online promotion for anti-PMS meds:

What is THE MIGHTY MIDOLS MENSTRUAL ‘MINDER (M4)? The M4 is a fun and easy desktop application that allows you to interact with the Mighty Midols! A password protected interface lets you input your cycle information to be sure to never be caught off guard by Monsteruation again. Marissa, Mimi and Maya will battle the forces of Monsteruation and keep your computer desktop symptom free.

Rita Mae Brown: “The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they’re okay, then it’s you.” [Quotes of the Day]

I set up a kind of tradewars-like web based game at https://ezoons.com/wp-content/uploads/imported-legacy/blacknova/. Feel free to come by and give it a try. I’ll keep it running as long as it doesn’t impact on the machine’s ability to do other things.

It’s Girl Scount Cookie season. When you work in an office you get a direct link to the cookies. There’s always someone whose kid is in Girl Scouts. I’m starting to get that urge for a Tagalong, mmm, or maybe one of those shortbread cookies. Or my other new favorite, the shortbread ones with animals on them that have one side dipped in chocolate. MMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Pablo Picasso: “Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.” [Quotes of the Day]

Tonight we’ve got one of my good friends and favorite local DJs MDR. I’ve known Mike for ages and remember when he first started spinning. We’ve talked for endless hours about music and spinning. He’s the ultimate perfectionist when it comes to his music, so this should be quite a great night. Here’s the blurb.

This week downstairs at Anitya:

Toon Network didn’t totally butcher Kenshin, and the dub isn’t too too bad. Definitely something to check out. It’s on Toon Network at 6:30, and just started this week. This is one that I think Toon Network needs to show recaps of on the weekends.
