CBS relented and renewed Jericho. Yay! This is a good show that, like other serials, was hurt by a mid-season hiatus. I don't understand why 24 seems to be the only prime-time show whose producers get this: run your show straight through if it's a continuing story.
A school refused to give diplomas to students for whom people cheered at graduation. They have since rescinded this decision. The whole thing has me asking WTF? How does it make sense to punish the students, who were not the ones violating the decorum of the event? Heck, given the rivalries that high schools tend to, did anyone consider that the cheering might have been a hostile move (to get the diplomas held back)?
This made me laugh out loud: "Ubuntu" is an ancient african word. It means "I can't configure debian." --zeylisse on slashdot.org, repeated by brokengoose.
What does your cat do all day while you're away? Try a cat cam. I want one. No, three. Ok, two; I only need so many pictures taken by a sleeping Baldur.
Speaking of cats, I got Embla's test results last night. We've done too good a job on treating the hyperthyroidism. Her T4 this week was 0.5 (down from 5.6 two months ago and 70 (!) three months ago). I understood the goal to be "under 4", but the vet really meant "between 1 and 4". So we're backing off the medicine just slightly.
A day late for the anniversary, but kmelion reposted this (English translation of a) transcript of a tape made during the six-day war, upon entering Jerusalem.
