I'd go to temple if I got this for Chanukah

We celebrate the miracle of the dilithium crystals lasting for 8 days when Scotty said she coudna take any more.

It would be even better to get all of the parts so I could assemble it myself.

Merry Christmas from your pastafarian friend

If I could get away with it I would give out this ornament to all of my friends and family. But I'm a little more tolerant than some of them are.

May you be touched by his noodly appendage.

finally got the new security settings on facebook

I really don't think there's anything truly "private" on the internet. I see it as a dichotomy to try and put yourself out there while also hiding certain things. If someone is really determined to follow your every movement all they really have to do is google you and you'll pop up in a few places even you might not expect. (like that linkedin page I made forever ago, but can't back into)
The spam filter on gmail works great, and farmville requests are only a bit more annoying.
Have fun setting up your new privacy settings whenever you get the chance.

Interesting article on climate change denialists

I guess it makes a little sense to just blow off something that doesn't appear to affect you directly. I can count myself in the crowd on that one. I'd rather not drive 86 miles every day, but I'd also rather live in the same place as my wife. But at least I'm realistic about the science behind climate change. Others apparently have been hoodwinked by disinformation campaigns.

Trying this out

I'm composing my first email to posterous. This makes it easy to post to multiple services at once.

I'll add a second paragraph just to see what twitter does with it.
