Read an article about a "71/2-hour hearing." To me that reads as 35.5 hours long. Having attended some hearings, that sounds about right. 2013-05-10

A history degree reveals much. In my case, I hope it reveals why all the best photos of my boy have books about Hitler in the background. 2013-04-26

"The only legitimate way to assert 'ownership' of [an open source] project" is what Apple and Google have done. http://t.co/QtEqWiG2o7 2013-04-13

I'm uncomfortable in my 2nd language, so I speak it in a hushed voice. Or, I SHOUT EVERYTHING IN MY FIRST LANGUAGE. Neither is intelligible. 2013-04-03
Phew! CBC hasn't dug up my offshore tax haven. Or, more properly, "pulled up", since it's a sunken boot filled with 1996 copper pennies. 2013-04-04

I wonder if the DSM lists "patterned egg arranging". If so, I've suffered from the early-onset variety for decades. http://t.co/I265Zw92IS 2013-03-24
