    "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part"
    why is it that "management" never does ?
  • 2009.05.30 21:17: @craigg75
    It got bad reviews but heck I like it, it's classic Clarke
    most reviewers haven't a clue when it comes to scifi anyway

    I think I need to go on a bike ride now that the sun is out.
    sun?! hope you brought a rain coat, only cold & wind here, and your weather comes from this direction
  • 2009.05.30 22:01: last evening for pbs :(
  • 2009.05.30 22:09: @craigg75
    been enjoying the American Experience series on the Indians
    that one never hit my radar
  • 2009.05.30 22:10: re chrysler: so, whatever happened to daimler-benz ? stripped & ran ? that deal was the biggest problem

  • 2009.05.01 18:08: eye exams are fun - except now i can see the screen refresh rate. hyp - no - tiz - ing
  • 2009.05.01 18:08: does dolly parton look like an animated corpse to anyone else ?

    Europe's Age Crisis Begins To Bite http://ur1.ca/3uym
    the problem is the expectation of "retirement" at an age where people can now still work productively
  • 2009.05.01 18:14: @jdhunt
    I think I want to refactor this entire code-base. Who wrote this stuff, half-trained monkeys?
    now you're starting to get a glimpse of how i see the entire world ...
  • 2009.05.01 18:16: @craigg75
    @fractalnavel share a DP link
    sorry, here: http://tinyurl.com/c3t2z7 ; i forget i'm on tumblr
  • 2009.05.01 18:18: hey, why am i getting almost no rss updates today ? strange...

    Your cynicism is contagious (and looking more and more valid).
    cvrap -cynicism = "bad", skepticism = "good"; i'm trying to be less "negative"; limited success to date
  • 2009.05.01 18:22: maybe i should be appreciating the half-trained monkeys for what they have accomplished; oh, look - feces...
  • 2009.05.01 18:24: @craigg75
    yeah.. definitely wax like.. must be sad not be able to age gracefully for stars
    i think it's more that they need to realize that after a certain point, cosmetics backfire.
  • 2009.05.01 18:24: my kingdom for a glowing dog-clone
  • 2009.05.01 18:27: time to give the grass a quick cut between sprinkles
  • 2009.05.01 18:28: after all these years of letting the lawn grow wild, i'm going to do an about-face & show everyone else up (6)

    As they say, a cynic is an idealist whose rose-colored glasses have been removed. Quotes to that effect can be found.
    a skeptic might find that hard to believe - either part

    Is that your inner optimist coming out, pushing the skeptic aside?
    less optimism than a sincere desire to screw with people's heads
  • 2009.05.01 19:33: @craigg75
    @fractalnavel tweets while cutting grass.. now that's devotion to a social disease :P
    social disease: lawn cutting, ya mean ? ;-)
  • 2009.05.01 19:36: @craigg75 hey, you forgot your lamp ...
  • 2009.05.01 19:55: when i post on a forum & people agree with me, i have mixed feelings. it's nice to be backed up, but it's an odd position for a gadfly
  • 2009.05.01 19:56: ... i might be forced into fighting with myself ...
  • 2009.05.01 20:50: @craigg75
    @fractalnavel a gadfly?! have you been transported back to the 19th century?
    i dunno; did they still drink gallons of ale for breakfast then ?
  • 2009.05.01 20:52: @craigg75
    the shopping bot has taken over @klaatu
    lol - there's certainly some sort of inter-lobal battle going on
  • 2009.05.01 20:53: @craigg75 i like the running "the jerk" thing you have going though. without the carpet bombing, we wouldn't have had that ;-)
  • 2009.05.01 20:53: important difference: "carpetbomb" v. "carpet bombing". no need to explain to pet owners.
  • 2009.05.01 20:56: for @craigg75 : an infinite capacity sack for all of @klaatu's cvrap
  • 2009.05.01 21:07: this is @craigg75, part way through @klaatu's "carpet bombing" : http://www.dvdfuture.com/images/upload/jerk1.jpg
  • 2009.05.01 21:29: see http://tinyurl.com/dleodz , search for "I don't need any of this!"
  • 2009.05.01 21:34: "... That's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, these matches the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. ..."
  • 2009.05.01 21:36: shame i can't find that clip
  • 2009.05.01 21:46: i need popcorn, can't wait to see how this ends ...
  • 2009.05.01 21:56: for my older nephews / parents: RT @klaatu FREE Gillette Fusion Razor http://bit.ly/18Wpno
  • 2009.05.01 21:58: synchronized meltdowns - mutually assured destruction by twitter - who'd'a thunk ... @craigg75 , @klaatu
  • 2009.05.01 22:05: @craigg75
    the peaceful world of twitter sighs in relief as @klaatu 's shopping bot stomps off to lay siege to another social network
    <finishes popcorn> great, another sequel ...
  • 2009.05.01 22:07: @craigg75
    I'm waiting for @klaatu 's shopping bot to give us a deal on the "optigrab"
    these won't slip: http://tinyurl.com/c2msxn
  • 2009.05.01 22:25: such a sad tv schedule, with only six channels on it ...
  • 2009.05.02 02:21: not much left to watch; "numbers" annoys the crap out of me; else it's news, 20/20, dateline or cops.
  • 2009.05.02 02:27: fox news, even - good god
  • 2009.05.02 04:00: @klaatu
    @craigg75 Stop picking on @fractalnavel 's mowing. Could be minesweeping. Lawn mower saves man from exploding grenade - http://is.gd/vWFE
    yeah - yeah, um - that's it - grenades - minesweeping - sneaky ol' neighbors... dogs - glad i didn't step in it

    not much left to watch: No cop, doctor, or catcha predator shows 4 me. Rather listen to Jeff Rense chat with fringe weirdos.
    at least at 11p i have a 'family guy" double header
