OMG. There’s actually a software program to help figure out optimum sequence of rides at Disneyland. I’m moderately embarrassed to mention that I’m kinda excited about that. (for Elizabeth, mostly. someday we’ll go together again.)

“These women were referred to as the “computers” because they had to calculate complex differential equations by hand.” — okay, just think about THAT for a minute. to heck with ENIAC, I’m just boggled at doing calculus by hand!

“if you ask me what the ratio of client-to-server code of a good Ajax app is I’d say 30% client and 70% server” – I was pleasantly surprised at how little I had to do in JS for my first Ajax project. Let the server do the really heavy lifting, if you ca

something I noticed: 2498 people participated in the democratic caucus. 2500 people?! and this is supposed to mean something to all the rest of us? jeez. they’ll probably get that many people in THURSTON COUNTY at the caucuses. oy.

when I was younger and had a few groups of non-overlapping friends, we used to call it “when worlds collide” — I’m just secretive/over-sensitive enough that I find it quite painful.

a couple of caveats: I found the daily weigh-in very useful; permission to eat a bit of junk food provides an outlet so that there’s no lust for the forbidden, and the evidence around saturated fat & heart disease is a little sketchier than you’d think, I

hmmmmm. one of the commenters @ gizmodo said they got it working easily on an MDA. very pretty. dunno if it can be installed w/out having a windows computer handy, tho.

this also looks promising, although maybe a little TOO shiny.

I keep forgetting what this one is called. This is part of my “not sucking at remembering birthdays” resolution. An old friend’s is today, so I have to be on it right out of the gate!
