In an offsite lab today...

A LITTLE while, a little while,
  The weary task is put away,
  And I can sing and I can smile,
  Alike, while I have holiday.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Speaking of Lego-ish, Oyo honored me and my fellow NFL sideline personnel with a limited edition figure.  I just need the hat to be purple and it's me.

Nah.  Facial hair is the new professional.  The longer the goatee the better.

Thought this was cool. Some mathematicians mapped out the character interactions in "Storm of Swords" to attempt to derive who is the main character.



Obviously there isn't a single protagonist, but the graphic does a pretty good job of pointing out who is the main character of each of the "communities" that the book has.

There's some dead characters in there, but that's because they are mentioned in the book despite that. Surprised about Robert getting so much presence, for example.

There's an air show this week in Melbourne.  Today, the lab I was at, has a warning light that flashes whenever noise exceeds 120 dB; at which point you need to put on hearing protection.  My test was well below that, but the jets passing by kept on setting off the warning light.  So we all had hearing protection on all day.

Ha! I've been in Pensacola while the Blue Angels practice, and the whole base should be wearing hearing protection all day.

Most of the pics I've seen look more rhino-like than that one.

Moving day! Feels all the more annoying when you are moving a 10 minute walk away...<_<

I hope you have peons do the lifting and carrying. It always annoys me when I hear of grown people who don't do the sensible thing.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Of course I do. Been quite sometime since I've moved without. :hmm:
