Robot Wristwatch!

Anybody else have one of these?  I did!

circa 1985... I had a wristwatch that transformed into a jet, my classmate had the watch pictured above.  He liked my watch; I liked his.  We traded and we were both happy.  Sadly, I can't find any pics of the jet-transforming wristwatch on the net (it wasn't an actual Transformer - it was a cheap generic toy).  Ah, childhood!

What's Wrong With Society Today

New entry in my ongoing series "What's Wrong With Society".  My last one got lots of reactions (good and bad) and caused me to wedge my foot firmly in my mouth for a time... OK here goes.

Here in Indianapolis (and likely elsewhere around the country), a local hospital was running billboard ads that advertise its pediatrician ward.  That's all well and good, but check out the ads they are running.  They list an ailment, followed by the name of the hospital.  I had no idea you should take your child to a hospital in these cases!

This ever happen to you?

I was digging through my desk and found a scrap of paper I had written a note on.  I pulled it out and read it.

Now why in the heck did I write "Small shadows are usually designed to apply face to a product"?

Eventually I figured out that I had originally written "Small shakers are usually designed to apply force to a product".  Much more meaningful (at least to me).

What's Wrong With Society

Fact: Indianapolis (and most towns and cities) have 20-25 mph speed limits for streets located in school zones, regardless of actual pedestrian or school-related traffic on these streets.

Fact: School zones seem to be rather broadly defined as "a street within 300 yards of a school regardless of the presence of sidewalks, school crossings, standard pedetrian crossings, or actual usage of the street for school purposes".

(Almost) Perfect Media Sharing Harmony

First off, the reason for the "(Almost)" is that there isn't one program that does everything.  That would truly be perfect.  That said, here is what I currently have working and a limited explanation of how... limited because even I don't know what the heck I'm doing most of the time!
