Yes he looks just like Schrödinger.
Yes this is exactly how Schrödinger would act.
No it’s not actually Schrödinger, but amusing just the same.
No, that doesn’t mean this was Snicklefritz, he wouldn’t have been fazed by the snow, would likely have tried to eat it and if anything gone straight up the fence.
So Apple is why AT&T is the only wireless carrier who can’t be bothered to provide at least some service with in 20 minutes of me? A place so backwater that… oh .. wait, even my Kindle gets 3G here where AT&T has no signal? Ah, k, definitely because of the iPhone. Thanks.

Yesterday while listing a book, having read it twice before, I thought back fondly and decided to throw it in again for a new read. The book is Prostho Plus by Piers Anthony, a rather odd sci fi romp about a dentist from earth getting caught up in the hitherto unknown world(s) of galactic dentistry. How that thought ever lasted long enough to end up a published book is a different matter entirely, regardless it’s a lovely candy read. I remembered the premise, I recalled the major scenes, what I didn’t recolect in specifics brought the comfortable joy of rediscovery.
That is, until I got halfway through the book.
Remember I’d read this twice before, and it’s one of my favored books from one of my favorite authors. Before I picked it up this time I could have related to you a general sketch of the book, most the major developments and a fair approximation of the satisfying conclusion. Had you gone and read the book you would have been mistified as I. For, there’s an entire second part to the book that I had no recolection of even existing much less in the details within. Flat out, it turned into a new read.
Weird.
Is there a Wrapping Paper Addicts Anonymous?
If you count the 2 rolls that she emptied this weekend, Meg has 40 different rolls of wrapping paper. The majority of which are Christmas specific.
I’m just saying.
Maybe she’s using a different roll for each present she’s getting me this year… maybe.
I was doing so well. I had posts done ahead of time, they came out on time, I was happy. Then, Megan bought me a wedding present. She got me a Kindle. This deserved it’s own post, it’s own long & thought out post, coupled with a reading update. The trouble? Well, that requires me actually spending time and sitting down and writing unlike just linking videos.
For those who don’t know, I’m getting married in just over a week. Between preparations for that and being backed up at work and the other work, I’ve not been able to gather the time/motivation to sit down and do it. This week is no different. My big happy post is still pending.
So in the interim, here’s more cool linkage and vidage.
Emily, my brother’s girl, works @ a sailmaker. I knew this and thought it was roughly cool but it was just that vague understanding that you have of other folk’s jobs that you can’t possible envision since you have no corollary experience. Apparently, she works in a freaking cool place. So cool, that a local newspaper did an article on the place. So cool, that the local Fox station did a three segment piece on it.
This may well be the only cool thing I’ve ever seen on Fox.
This is a copy of the AP article. Don’t figure that’s the original source but I didn’t know the paper and that’s what Google gave me 
Here are the three vids of the place. Emily’s in the second two but they’re a great piece even if you don’t know her (and thus care about seeing someone you know on TV).
<the vids were supposed to embed here but wordpress didn’t like them because they came from Fox and not a ’supported’ site and I didn’t want to pony up $60 for an upgrade>
So .. check them out nicely embedded @ the Scott Alan Sailmakers website.
Much coolness M.
Do you know what we did for entertainment before we got cats? No, neither do we.
