Tunguska Event

comment on the post “Flash Facts: Tunguska Event“:

I remember my first encounter with the Tunguska event was in The New Teen Titans, with the origin of Red Star. The weird thing is, I went back later and reread the issues with him and the story never actually states that the incident involved was the Tunguska event!

I must have thought of the origin story when I first read about the real event, and connected them in my mind to the extent that I was convinced the story had specifically referred to it!

The sound of gardening tools outside the office blends with computer fans for really weird harmonics.

Ugh. It feels hotter now than it did at lunchtime. Numbers back it up: car says 99 deg vs 93.

It’s not just that it’s in the last place you look. It’s that it’s in the last place you want to look.

It’s not just that it’s in the last place you look. It’s that it’s in the last place you *want* to look.

Watched sun set, disc tinged almost magenta by smoke plume from the #Morris fire stretching along the horizon.

Dreamed I was looking at photos of seagulls by @brionv, who kept joking about how velociraptors were a lot smaller than they used to be.

Just learned “Holding Out for a Hero” is cowritten by Jim Steinman. Explains why it keeps turning into “Good Girls Go to Heaven” in my head

TMobile’s really expanding 3G lately. We’ve had it for a while, but can’t get a good signal at home. I think the building is a Faraday cage.

Slashdot really needs a -1 Reactionary mod.

wow – still getting hits on searches for “scary pitchers” [sic]

Usually it’s the divorced parents using the kids against each other, not the other way around: “Use Mother Nature to beat Father Time”

Does anyone actually start off email to friends with “Dear Friend”?

Why do some people feel the need to make $#!7 up to enhance political messages? Don’t they know it undermines their position when exposed?

Huh. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a power-only USB cable before. Would be nice if it was LABELED as such.

Ugh. “Refurb Madness.” Bad pun. Stay in the corner.

Just turned off our oldest internet-facing server. I’m not 100% sure, but I think it went back to 2001 – almost as old as IE6!

Just watched 2 people tossing things over the edge of the roof of an office building in the distance for several minutes.

I remember waiting in line for the Haunted Mansion one time in the mid-1990s…

I remember waiting in line for the Haunted Mansion one time in the mid-1990s with Shawn and maybe a few other friends, and there was this one guy who took the fun/creepy vibe seriously and really went beyond the “Yeah, yeah, dead center of the room” take. His name was Maynard, and he really set the right tone for the ride. Stumbled on a picture of him at Flickr – he’s still at Disneyland – then did some searching and discovered he’s got a following!

Non-Standard = Ambiguous

So, have you got some specs for exactly the way IE and Gecko handle every single case of non-standard code? Including cases where it’s clear the code is broken, but it’s not clear what the author meant, and multiple interpretations are equally valid?

No? There’s no specification? They’ll have to reverse-engineer it by visiting every page on the internet with IE and Firefox and seeing what those browsers do with them? Gee, that sounds workable!
