Worked on spelling correction today with @kragen. Still not king.
The supermarket dishonored their buy-one-get-one-free sign. Why won't they commit seppuku?
Don't you hate it when you need something from a book you've purged? Another point for the snap-everything plan.
Little earthquake a minute ago.
Norvig used my improvements, hurray. A little interesting to see him put his stamp on them.

Hurrah @flourish!

Spent way too much time on code golf: http://tinyurl.com/5wy8uf -- easy to get sucked in.
Trying to write a clever poem about trees. The 'clever' part is, somehow, difficult.
Symmetrical people are supposed to be more beautiful. Do they also have more trouble telling left from right?
