secret plans

I found this on our project server today:

I don’t know what Batman thinks he’s doing with those plans. He must work the night shift because I’ve never seen him here.

neurophysicists + Bobby McFerrin

Just found this great video of Bobby McFerrin demonstrating to a panel of neurophysicists how the brain anticipates notes at the World Science Festival. Cool! What else can our brains do?!?

ITS FRIDAYDAY!

Joel Post-mania! Three days in a row, I’m getting good.

This comic is from Lefthandedtoons.com which is hilarious and in the same vein as Toothpaste For Dinner or Natalie Dee. (funny, poorly drawn cartoons)

Also, if anyone isn’t familiar with Bill’s consistant Friday Facebook posts you should really check it out.

Color Test This, biatch!

March 4th Day of Action

Today was a massive day of action to oppose budget cuts, tuition hikes, layoffs and furloughs in all level of public education. SocialistWorker.org has been live blogging the whole day with readers sending in reports from across the country. Here’s the most recent from San Francisco:

About 3,000 students, teachers and parents from all levels of education marched down Mission Street, headed toward a giant rally at San Francisco’s Civic Center, reports David Russitano, a math teacher and member of United Educators of San Francisco.

The crowd is a cross-section of all races and genders. The feeling is festive, with costumes, homemade signs and plenty of noise-makers. It feels like the start of a massive movement.

And the crowd is still continuing to grow as schools get out!

Protesters from all parts of the Bay Area are converging on the Civic Center rally in San Francisco–expectations are high for a huge turnout.

Here’s a link to the rest of the live blog. This makes me so happy. There’s some awesome stuff happening right now!

Update: That 3,000 mentioned above became 20,000 within two hours! Democracy Now reported that, nationwide, the action numbered around 100,000!

omg chance

Oh, hello. I didn’t see you there Shambot. I was just thinking about my friend Chance. Oh, you don’t know him? He’s okay I guess. Although… come closer, I don’t want anyone to hear us… I think he has a problem. An internet problem. See, every time I talk to him on the internet and have to step away to, say, take the kettle off the stove or answer the telephone and THIS happens:

The Things I Read For Class…

This is a one paragraph summary of a case from another case I was reading for Criminal Law (it was dealing with causation).

“In People v. Lewis, 124 Cal. 551, 559, the facts were as follows. The defendant inflicted a gunshot wound on the deceased. This wound was mortal. The deceased, however, procured a knife and cut his throat, and thereby brought about his own death sooner than would have been the case if it had resulted from the original wound. The defendant was convicted of manslaughter, and the conviction was affirmed by the highest court of California.”

In my notes next to this paragraph, it reads: “HOLY.SHIT.”

Then I decided to tell you guys about it.

ICE FLOW. nowhere to go

The ice and snow is meltinggggggggg. I love this song.
