Then and now: World War II photos blended with how the locations look today.

Wow. Email addresses really do stay on spam lists forever. Postmaster just picked up lost mail for a server that’s been offline for 7 YEARS.

Unexpected cool moment of the night: watching a deep orange half-moon setting into the distant Downtown Los Angeles skyline.

How appropriate: “Big Yellow Taxi” is playing in the parking lot.

OK, that is an earthquake. For about 30 seconds I thought someone was stomping around or something.

So, 5.9 quake near Anza Borrego. That was a *long* one. It felt like it lasted at least a minute from here.

Strike that – in the last couple of minutes they’ve downgraded it to 5.4.

No, I actually don’t want to restart my computer now, but under the circumstances, it’s probably better not to wait.

At least 100 squirrels

I must have seen at least 100 squirrels just walking down one block in Irvine. That’s the EDGE of the lot. There must be even more inside.

Observations uploaded to iNaturalist in 2019:

There were a *lot* of squirrels in the hedge and lawn between an empty lot and the street. I posted on Twitter at the time that I’d seen at least 100 along the edge of the block.

Interesting analogy: web services as governments.

The car companies’ offices are all getting taken over by restaurants. First Taco Bell took Ford. Now Yard House has Daimler-Chrysler.

Ah, software naming schemes! Fedora has an update to “glib bindings for telepathy.”

Reminder to self: do not upgrade ANYTHING optional, no matter how trivial, at 1AM.

I need more coffee. I misread “The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice” as “The Libertarian…”

My calendar lists last Tuesday as “Election Patch Day.” I guess you could consider elections to be patches keeping the government up to date

Can we finally bury the SCO case now, or will it once again rise from the grave as a shambling undead corpse?

Simulating HTML links with Javascript is like taking the bus to get from one end of the couch to the other.

Weird: I just saw a NIXON/AGNEW bumper sticker. On a class of car that didn’t exist during Nixon’s lifetime.

Either it rained, or someone went around the parking lot spraying cars with a garden hose. SoCal in May? The hose is almost more likely!

Haven’t seen the #FlashForward finale yet. TV signal was bad, so we put in a Wonderfalls DVD instead. Planning to catch it on Hulu tomorrow.

That’s a huge change. You used to have to watch through the distortion, or hope for a rerun, or find someone in another area who taped it.

…or otherwise go through unofficial channels. Now, if technical problems screw up a broadcast, you’ve got Hulu, Amazon, iTunes, etc.
