Ok, this "embedding disabled by request" thing is getting annoying.

So, forget it, here's a link

Tomorrow's going to be an interesting day. This song, while the memories sort of predate the context, remind me of the era in my life that's going to be the height of sentimentality in the next 24 hours.

Can't get this song out of my head.

So let me share it with you

Goodnight, my friends.

Ongoing Dispute #12

Been a good long while for one of these. Bring it on.

A Triptych of Booger Haiku

I need to stop thinking about work.

Some days they run on
Some days they could cut through glass
Vile snot meet kleenex

Seriously, this is a bad sign.

An itch in my nose
Do not want to be picking
Anyone looking?

I've been fussing over fiddly technology bits too much.

Did anyone see
That bit dangling gently
Last time I sneezed?


Anybody got a peanut?

It's that time again.

The weather is right, the days grow short, mood is set. Pack away the angry music and relax.

I may have to fake an aneurysm or something.

Remember kids

Lawyers are not technologists. They are not scientists. They are not engineers. They are lawyers.

MR. JAKES: It might have. It might have.
JUSTICE SCALIA: It clearly did.
MR. JAKES: Well, it's not that clear from Circuit's transformation test whether that or not, because although the Federal Circuit but his undulating has said transformation of data might qualify, it said it has to represent something physical, something -- a real object. And sound doesn't necessarily have to be that. Sound can be generated artificially. So --
JUSTICE SCALIA: Sound -- sound is not physical, and electric current is not physical?
MR. JAKES: I think electric current is physical.
JUSTICE SCALIA: Yes, I think so.
MR. JAKES: Yes.
JUSTICE SCALIA: Sound is, too.
MR. JAKES: It can be, but when it's over a wire, it's not. It's something else. It's an electrical current then.
JUSTICE SCALIA: Sound is not transmitted over the wires. Sound has been transformed into current, and current is transmitted over the wire and then transformed back at the other end into sound.

I like this for reasons I'm not sure I understand
