I've done this before, and the results haven't changed much, since I'm not going to count states where I never left the airport (those being Texas and Illinois).

"The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would hire them away."


"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."

Hackers Tilt PowerBook for Tricks
Enterprising hackers have discovered that because the new motion sensor returns reasonably accurate measurements to Mac OS X, it can be used to do some cool tricks, from realigning an image in a window so it always points up, no matter what angle you hold the laptop at, to controlling what's playing in iTunes -- rock the machine backward to go to the next track, forward to play the previous one.
I can hear the calls now... "No, sir, we do not recommend shaking your powerbook, even if it does clear the screen."

Quiz: Know your roadsigns? (UK)
I got 7/10 on this... entirely from guessing, and thinking, "Hmmm, that makes sense for this sign..." Which really makes me wonder how people who actually live there and take tests on it can miss so many.

I suspect this will turn into a meme, but that is by no means my intent.

I've been feeling less than prolific lately. Looking over the last few months of public posts, I've seen little more than links, quotes, and quizzes. There's been the occasional exception, but those are few and far between. But then when I try to think of something interesting to write about, all I can come up with are mundane posts about my daily existence, and then they tend to be either friends-locked or filtered for content.

So I'm taking suggestions. Reply to this post with something you'd like me to post about. Try to pick something that I might actually be able to talk about, since if I don't know the subject, I can't really write about it. ;) If you can't think of anything either, have a look at my interests and see if anything strikes your fancy. You're welcome to reply with as many topics as you like, though please keep one topic per comment for easier bookkeeping. ;)

I reserve the right to take as long as I want to get to your request, or not post it at all, but I'm going to reply to the comments with links to the appropriate posts as I write them, or I'll let you know if I don't plan to write about it publicly at all.

Anonymous requests are welcome as well, and I'll be unscreening any non-spam as I get it.
