@phipunk Thank you for the recommendation; I'm currently using an old Samsung phone but am also considering a Cupertino-derived replacement
Faced with a "white screen of death", thankful for instructions to blindly copy contact information into a SIM card: http://snipr.com/7q0if
Despite recent bad weather ( http://snipr.com/43wr9 ), intrigued by efforts to reinitialize the "State of Jefferson": http://snipr.com/43wqw
Amused by spam email messages offering "Bacheelor", "MasteerMBA", and "PhDD" degrees; wondering how such degrees would affect a job search.
Intrigued by a new package for the mathematical typesetting language LaTeX that is capable of solving sudoku puzzles: http://snipr.com/3kioh
Intrigued by the connection between presentation and modal jazz as suggested by this "Presentation Zen" blog posting: http://snipr.com/3imzq
Amazed by how desperate car salesmen have become after receiving an offer for a $25 gas card in exchange for test driving an SUV in Florida.
Highly appreciative of the current "twisted pencil" comic: http://snipr.com/3g84v ; reminded of this "Brown Sharpie": http://snipr.com/3g84r
After two consecutive weeks of personal and conference travel, appreciative of a quiet morning in a Peet's Coffee & Tea shop with free wifi.
Amused by the need to submit a maintenance request form when an irrigation line outside my office window is straying water 5 m into the air.
Using online check-in for an itinerary with a 30 minute connection; grateful for excellent airplane seating charts: http://www.seatguru.com/
With fireworks banned in California today ( http://snipr.com/2u05y ), opting instead for a more subtle celebration: http://snipr.com/2u06b
Learning to use AppleScript shell calls in order to simultaneously crawl a website and send parsed URLs to Firefox: http://snipr.com/2t0ae
CA now limits phone use while driving: http://snipr.com/2sh1d ; hopeful no one will intentionally break the new law: http://snipr.com/2sh1w
Enjoying a "Slate" article regarding the history of the semicolon: http://snipr.com/2rol3 ; reminded of this video: http://snipr.com/2roku
Shopping for a new laptop hard disk drive; astonished that the same HDD can sell for under $100 at one store and for over $6000 at another.
Reading online reviews for compact refrigerators; hopeful to find one that will fit under an office desk, run quietly, and actually work.
Bemused by an eBay auction for an Australian man's "entire life": http://snipr.com/2n767 ; hopeful that such auctions never become routine.
@phipunk The model clearly doesn't make sense unless temperature is measured in Kelvin; otherwise, happiness could increase without bound.
Amused by the apparent "discovery" that June 20th is mathematically guaranteed to be the happiest day of the year: http://snipr.com/2lxvh
