Well GrayPumpkin saw the new Batman movie and has confirmed it’s Batmanny goodness. (He tends to agree with my breakdown of Sci-fi fantasy authors mentioned earlier… and) I trust his opinions more than the vast majority of fan-types out there. I’m trying to help him find an old module – Death Duel of The Destroyers.. By Bill Willingham.

If anyone has it to sell or give, let me know!

Dear magical pixies that live in my mouse pad: Please bring me Belgian Waffles for breakfast.

Dang pixies that never give me what I want! I hope Newton eats you.

YubNub is a “command line for the web.” For example, you can enter “gim flowers” to do a Google Image search for flowers. tts does text to speech, 411 a local search, etc.

Google Maps now covers the whole earth – well, sort of. Though country names, rivers and country borders are now drawn world-wide (and satellite imagery is available, too), there isn’t any detail yet for countries outside US, Canada, and UK. Other changes to Google Maps are being rolled out incrementally, too.

Check out the new overview of the Museum ‘f Art and the Moonlight Movie Park. Also Satellite maps. You can see the singing fountain right about in the center, in the upper left hand corner of the green park.

Little blue arrows now show one-way driving, and significant buildings / regions are named.

Moment of Lyric:

Workin’ in the coal mine
Goin’ on down, down
Workin’ in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down

Workin’ in a coal mine
Goin’ on down, down
Workin’ in a coal mine
Oops, about to slip down

Five o’clock in the mornin’
I’m already up and gone
Lord, I’m so tired
How long can this go on?

(Repeat Chorus)

“Cause I make a little money
Haulin’ coal by the ton
When Saturday rolls around
I’m too tired for havin’ fun

(Repeat Chorus)

Lord I’m so tired
How long can this go on

(Repeat Chorus)

Five o’clock in the mornin’
I’m already up and gone
Lord, I’m so tired
How long can this go on

(Repeat Chorus)

The Crazy horde of Black grasshoppers with a yellow stripe has been replaced by dozens of these Locusts. Dang things freaked me out yesterday morning… there were about three dozen of them on palms under cover on my walk to the bus stop in the rain yesterday morning… if it hadn’t been so wet, I’d have taken a few pictures.

They were flippin’ huge.. at least 3-4 inches long each. I like grasshoppers, but I made an inadvertent GNyahhh sound when one whirred on past. Still, better Leaping dino-hoppers than mosquitoes.
