Crooning and Rap, in Harmony – New York Times » "Rappers and crooners often act as if they’re on different planets, but the truth is they spend most of the time in the same place[…]. And the clash of these opposing styles isn’t really a collision; it’s more like a collusion." USATODAY.com – Bose tries to shake up auto industry » "A childlike grin spreads across 76-year-old Amar Bose’s face as the vehicle does something most can’t: jump over the board, like a cat bounding over a fallen log." For high-end cars only, alas. I could almost imagine my little Hyundai jumping around… Musings On Writing – Steaming … or,…

Five dollars, for j00z.
I’ll PayPal $5 to the first person who can identify the type of cactus I have. Here is a photo. I’ve done a few hours of research in Arizona stores and on the Internet, and I can’t find the breed. Even Wikipedia couldn’t help me. I’ll want some kind of reference I can check for more information (care, etc.). Online references are awesome, but I’m not scared of books. Hell, I’ll flesh out whatever Wikipedia page is relevent with a picture if I can just figure out what breed it is. Five dollars. For j00z.

Arizona!
I just had a wonderful trip to Arizona with WO to visit his family and see the sights. Wonderful. Arizona is nice and warm (relatively–the mornings were a bit chilly) and pretty. WO’s family is awesomely fun and funny and sweet and welcomed me with open arms.

The website lists the movie as “Breathtaking,” “Mesmerizing,” and worth “Two thumbs up.” Honestly, I think the only person who found the movie “breathtaking” was this one lady in the congregation who gasped at every number thrown up on the screen. She was either asthmatic or had no idea that numbers could go above one thousand. As far as it being worth “two thumbs up,” I think the movie makers may have been putting those thumbs some place the sun doesn’t shine, because the movie is…

Critters!
I finally put up T-dawg’s and my Critters in a Box project from Artificial Intelligence this fall. I even made a nice little page with background information and usage instructions, for those who care. If there are major problems with what’s there (i.e. it can’t be downloaded, it makes your system blow up, etc.), let me know. Otherwise, it’s given as-is, no guarantees, yadda yadda. If you want the source code, I’ll email it to just about anyone that asks.
