Summertime! Happy Solstice, dear journal.
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS – ATTENTION ALL GROWNUPS. Your “inner child” has long been waiting for a chance to usurp control of your body and force it to perform certain actions. The time is now at hand. Read and follow the instructions below. Do this now.
I *still* do a lot of these, especially the “kaboom” and “Waskilly Wabbit” thing now and then.
Bah, no funds for any adsense clickthroughs lately. My average is down to about $0.15 a day. I suspect that the banners will be removed at the end of this month.
It also looks like my doodleboard hasn’t really taken off as a drawing space, either. Well, it’s an easy pseudo palm-doodle program that saves me the effort of uploading to the website, if nothing else.
Added Newt eskimo-kiss/headbutt
(Because you can’t have enough newt-icons)
CDC information on extreme heat.
A bike that gives free wireless Internet!
Magicbike is a mobile WiFi hotspot that gives free Internet connectivity wherever its ridden or parked. By turning a common bicycle into a wireless hotspot, Magicbike explores new delivery and use strategies for wireless networks and modern-day urbanites. Wireless bicycles disappear into the urban fabric and bring Internet to yet unserved spaces and communities. Mixing public art with techno-activism.
I’m glad it never gets cold enough in Florida to need Earbags.
Did they make banana pudding pops, or is that just a product of a fevered memory?
Out of the fog, into the smog. until later, dear journal.

Beautiful Morning today… cool, not humid at all, and just about the perfect temperature.
Rhode Island was in a mood… I suspect that she has either too much or not enough on her plate. She’s got micromanagement all over Newbie. Kahuna is out of town for at least the next two days, so we’ll see how that goes.
An organized online aquarium, in 2D and 3D.
“The discovery that they seem to be turning on each other at such a pivotal point in the species’ existence could be unsettling to squid lovers all over the world.”
The violent perils of biomass domination are let loose, exaggerates some journalist, as giant squid cannibalism shadows an inky doom for squidkind. On an octopod message board, however, the quoted scientist despairs.
What’s Really Visible from Space
There is a longstanding myth that the Great Wall of China is the only manmade object visible from space. It and several variations on the theme are great fodder for water cooler arguments. In reality, many human constructs can be seen from Earth orbit.

Cracked 5000 pints in the vampire game. Current rank is “Legendary” (from Count)

Random bit of Curiosity –
I wonder why that never caught on in the states?
The Newest Cereal… Monopoly, Based on the board game. Basically Cinnamon toast crunch with marshmallows. That’s too sickly-sweet even for me.
Random Scotto Recipe- How to make fun putty
Ah, wonderful. A scalding hot shower makes everything feel all right. Everything clarifies… the nose clears, my eyes are open wider afterwards, and it’s like some sort of thermal-energy transfer has recharged me. I think my shoulders are still steaming. Newton complained when I took him off of the windowsill, and waited in the sink for me to take care of the act of being clean. (He took the easy way out, and did the same with his sandpaper tongue on his paws as I dried off.
Onko has your best interests at heart – which, by extension, means your brains. Zombie Alert is guaranteed to warn of impending zombie attacks. The statistics Onko presents are frightening, but the company has a million-dollar guarantee on its products. Protect your family today, or just get a head start on them.
Dictionary of beekeeping terms, in four languages. Think of the global beekeeping troubles that this will cure! I think it’s pretty cool that the Italian word for ant is formica. (I suppose that’s from formic acid, and such… not the hi-tech countertop material) Also… I think “American foul brood” is a great name for a street gang, or a band.
I wonder what folks picture when they think of “the boogie man”? If you like, please write in the comments (I know polls don’t let some people vote… and perhaps I’ve not left enough room)
Pick all that you think apply.
Random Scotto factoid –
I’ve hung out with a professionally tossed dwarf. He was a nice guy, too, named Jeff… We took Psychology together in ’92, and were part of a group project on biofeedback. He had nothing against the practice when I knew him (I imagine he still doesn’t) and made a decent living (as well as free drinks at the rathskeller) while in school.
Only two states in the union have dwarf-tossing bans, now, Florida and New York.
It’s about 5 degrees F warmer than it is outside.. it’s raining, and a good time to have windows open.
Dork alert… Atari Adventure mod for quake. Holy moley, how cool is that?
If you’ve got the bandwidth and QuickTime, watch lots of robots… really lovely. Open it in another window and keep surfing while it loads, if you have to.
Sweet! edbook has put up a portfolio of his work… nice!
Friday the Thirteenth really is no big whoop to me. No worries. Nothing creepy or unexpected has happened yet…the normal aches, pains, smiles and joys that’ve been with me all week are still here.
Of the people at work I thought knew about world affairs, none knew who I was talking about when I referenced Idi Amin(Maybe one of the worst dictators since Hitler), Pol Pot and Papa / Baby Doc… I admit that it sometimes takes me a while to catch up with current events… but these guys are big time evil, and a major element in world history. When folks can kill in the hundreds of thousands or more and not be known…how does that work? Maybe it’s because I watched the news at home during the 70s and 80s, and it was current events? Looks like a job for a poll…
The Finn, Island Boy, Sappho and Kev…None had ever heard of any of ’em, save for Kev recognizing Idi Amin from an old SNL game show skit…but not knowing who he was.
On another note… I want to see the giant land squid and flying killer fish!
Random Scotto factoid – My aliases on trade wars back in the old BBS turn-based online wargames were – Rev Scotto, Tristan Thunyduway, Balder the Brave, and Boog the Ogre.
Sketches from the palm from the last day or two…I left the screen color on, instead of my usual forcing of black and white. Hover over for what was/is on my mind regarding them.
I’m going to remember September 11 peaceably, by not turning on the television that day. That’s the last I’ll probably mention it.
Fun old TV video game commercials… that was my primary market. I admit it… first system? An Atari 2600, with a load of carts… about a year later a guy traded my father an Odyssey2 for some side-work help… jamming family with two game systems… no waiting. 🙂
Cool thing while looking for modeling links – Crash Bonsai is the creation of John Rooney, an artist who is torn between the desire to create and destroy. Recently, he has been making bonsai plants, and combining them with model cars and trucks, which he has creatively smashed and melted, to create “Crash Bonsai,” little living car crash sculptures. I may do something like this… maybe have some heroclix having a happy picnic.
Newton has the uncanny ability to be in the bathtub or sink whenever I have the urge to use it. I think he knows that I’m going to distract him with a milk-ring to attack, before I hop in, and get the water running.
