8976 – sat

Rennfest was a hoot! Much larger venue than South Florida’s, and more professionally done.

Highlights –

  • Kadon’s Game Tent (I lost two games of Quint, and BHK picked up a deck of Fluxx 3.0) – they’re the guys that make Volcano boards!
  • Hack & Slash – I got a long-sleeved Action Hero t-shirt, autographed by the guys.
  • (Good fellows and funny as all get out – They’ll be there all weekends except 10/20-21)
  • Swami Yohmahmi
  • Museum of Unnatural History
  • Coin Mashing Stand… Thinking of a Hare and a Bear for either side of one.

Not to mention soft pretzels, saw assorted foods on a stick (but only ate aforementioned pretzel and a lot of water) and a beautiful wooded location.

I think I especially liked it because it was just BHK and me, having fun. No herding cats, no phone calls, nothing… just grabbed a bagel and go!

After, we hit Susquido’s for white pizza, extra garlic with a Caesar salad and fried Zucchini. Yum. (Zukes were not nearly as good as BHK’s homemade recipe)

assorted recent kitty cuteness

True or not true? – In the Aramaic language circa CE 0, the phrase used to describe “seeking vengeance” was the same phrase used to describe “performing sodomy”.


MIT Media Lab

researcher Tad Hirsh has designed electronic coconuts to be deployed as noise sensors in San Jose, California, an area which is subject to aircraft from San Jose International Airport, Oakland International Airport, and San Francisco International Airport. The coconuts are hung from trees, and when they hear excessive noise from low-flying aircraft, they use integrated cellphones to leave messages at the San Jose airport complaint hotline on behalf of the people, animals and trees of San Jose.

Here’s a sample complaint:

“Uh… Hey. Um, yeah. So… Um, this is…. Yeah, no, like, I’m… Shut up, no, I’m talking. Okay, so, yeah. So, all these planes, man… It’s crazy. It’s like a roooaarrrrr. Dude, I need a pizza… Could you send me a pepperoni pizza? Dude, that would be great. Wait wait wait wait wait, put some mushrooms on that. Yeah, mushrooms. Sweet.”

Check out the original audio files on Tad’s website; they’re exactly how you’d think a hyper-intelligent (and maybe stoned) coconut would sound.


Eight states are sending autistic, mentally retarded, and emotionally troubled kids to a facility that punishes them with painful electric shocks. How many times do you have to zap a child before it’s torture? I need to ask Lisa Fischler about this.
