lots and lots of good stuff today. <3
From the marvelous
mactavish:
green comet approaches earth. especially worth reading for the story of the comet's discovery. and because astronomy is cool.
From one of my beloved internet children,
cueballex:
italy's struggle to disband the army that never existed. From the wonderful
bernie_laraemie:
south korean grandmother fails driving test 771 times (and counting). And two more from
foxestacado(who always finds some awesome stuff)
bill gates releases mosquito swarm on audience and
hacked road signs warn of zombies. Oh uncle bill, we love you even if you are a little odd. <3 (at leaslt he didn't release a crowd of zombies?)
(remember children, uncle bill (or rather uncle bill's successor, uncle steve) keeps
tallin off the streets and keeps Seaners and I on our meds (and you really don't want to ever meet either one of us off our meds; Seaners behaves very badly and I am not fit for human company). <3 just pointing that out before the inevitable microsoft jabs appear in the comments. my this koolaid is lovely.)
Must-listen for the day, brought to you by the fantastic
geekchick:
Live stream of Vienna Teng's newest album, Inland Territory. Vienna Teng is fantastic; she does piano, vocals and performs with an upright bass and percussionist. Safe for all and extremely enjoyable. Her official site is
here. Today i have to do a few small things but not much, really. It's nice.
eta: my dear friend
miintikwa is having another One-Card-Draw tomorrow starting between 1:30 and 2:00 EST tomorrow afternoon. Money is going to a good cause and information is available
here. and son of edit: again from
mactavish,
conservatives take cheap shot at Obama for school visit. oh for fuck's SAKE. why do that? wasn't that what bush was doing during 9/11, visiting a school? And no one said a damn thing about it. *seethe* I really hate people sometimes. this is the sort of thing that gives republicans a bad name, and it's not fair.
