According to this allergy recall, one company makes store-brand knockoffs of Airborne for a whole lot of different chains.

Prop 8 “fails to advance any rational basis…”

Republican-appointed judge overturns government restriction on personal freedom. Shouldn’t conservatives be happier about this?

I like this quote from the judge, saying that Prop 8 “fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples. … Because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.”

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.

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.

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?
