rain_gryphonBird shot, made from compacted spices. This manages to be simultaneously clever, coldly logical, and creepy. It's like something you might encounter in the less-travelled areas of Tapestries.

So, the Europeans are going to get an even less desirable version of the PS3 than we did. I get the impression Sony's pretty much given up on the device, and now just wants to go through the motions to save face, and do it as cheaply as possible.

Guy accidentally sits on knife. You know he's gonna be so sick of hearing "Rectum? Damn near killed 'im!" by this time next week...

They've changed the ionizing radiation symbol to include a skull, and a guy running for his life. While to some degree, I like the over the top aspect of it, the old symbol was one of the most beautifully appropriate depictions I've ever seen. They managed to summarize the concept of radiation graphically and succintly, which isn't easy to do.

Friend Stu, his curiousity apparently piqued by the recent media blitz, wonders what Americans actually think of Obama. Personally, I think he's a lightweight, and will fade when the serious campaigning starts. He has no strong supporters, for the same reason that he has no strong opponents - he's never done anything. That's an advantage now, when all that matters is having people know your name, and not committing any major gaffes. It's going to prove an increasing liability as the campaign moves into full swing, and the candidates have to actually stand for something more than not liking George Bush.
At any rate, were others to voice their opinions, I'm sure Stoo would be appreciative.
