"Hold on cause the world will turn whether you're ready or not"

We interrupt this journal with an important announcement: the high temperature will be 80F again today and there's a giant yellow crane outside my office window. But first a word from our sponsors:

• PowerPoint Karaoke. (via)
  
  
• Supposedly, this is a Klein bottle house, but I'm not seeing enough of the geometry to convince me it's really non-orientable. And speaking of deep math, there's the mystery of why 10¹²² keeps popping up all over. Not as much as π does, but just as interesting. (both via)
  
  
• Minus et Cortex sing the Fromage song in French, of course. (via)
  
  
• Wired tries to anatomize what happens when things are free, or close enough to it. (via)
  
  
• Beware of National Grammar Day, this Tuesday the 4th. And speaking of late-breaking language news, "a crippling idiom shortage that has left millions of Americans struggling to express themselves spread like tugboat hens throughout the U.S. mainland Tuesday in an unparalleled lingual crisis that now has the entire country six winks short of an icicle." Thank you, The Onion. (via)

In short, it is Spring. We now return you to our regularly scheduled posts.

Yay for spring! I feel like dancing like your homunculus, but then it would bring on a coughing fit -- but I did manage to walk the dog this morning.

He's not my homunculus -- he's responsible for his own actions.

You claim no responsibility for your avatar? You are not the puppet master?

I like him anyway. He makes me smile.

I will do my best not to cough on Janni tomorrow.

Her, actually. That's a self-portrait by a manga artist. (One who, a couple books into the series, apologized for not making it clear she's female -- she having a gender-neutral Japanese name.)

I'm not worried abotu Janni. She coughs back.

Thank goodness we got some marine layer today, so NO HOT WEATHER. Relief!

Give us some of that... and take away this endless snow. Which is falling. Again. In great chunks.

Spring....

That's when it stops snowing--right? I sorta remember it.
