First mention of the Internet on the New York Times

The Internet is a web of networks with shared software standards, allowing users on one network to reach anywhere into a global thicket.

When these have all been taken down it’s ready to go.

I don’t know, it’s probably best to leave them. Those look like load bearing beams to me.

Monkey

The lady got me the greatest gift of all. A 3 foot monkey decal.

(Yes, I know it's a chimp)

Wow. That's really excellent. I've been shopping around for decals myself and have a fondness for monkeys.

I'm going to buy twenty chimps for the wall next to my bed. It will help me feel more at home when I wake up.

It’s the worst experience I’ve ever had in my life. Besides death.

I just wanted to post a follow up on my 31 features in 31 days thing for enjoysthin.gs. I finished!

enjoysthings:

At the end of November in 2008 I vowed to introduce 31 features in 31 days, it took me 26.

I feared it would be a long month, but it actually flew by.

By the end of the first week, I started struggling with motivation. I wasn’t getting much sleep and the biggest obstacle that would plague me the whole month cropped up: I couldn’t think of new features.

I’d assumed that development time would be the problem, but it turns out that you can get anything done if you stay up long enough.

Read the rest…

One simple site makes every other site on the internet better

Just add http://bacolicio.us/ before any url.

Google Sky + Historical View = Win

#26 out of 31.

View stats on each user. Specifically you can see “How much does this person enjoy vs. their friends?” Just go to their profile and click view stats, which will be under their avatar.

Keep that link in mind, I’m sure I’ll introduce more of these stats in the near future.

Sox pointed this out to me. I can’t figure out if this other guy is me or not.

If your head is overheated, there’s a good chance you’ll yawn soon, according to a new study that found the primary purpose of yawning is to control brain temperature.

Regarding my last post: we had a mouse!

Incident at the Roden household

A few minutes after screaming at the top of her lungs for a rather long period of time, Ara remarked, “My throat is sore.”

Later, referring to her husband (me), “It was a rather manly cry.”

Can you guess the incident? I’ll post the cause of the commotion a bit later.
