I made it through the day without ripping a hole in my pants, so I guess I’m already one up on yesterday! My knee still hurts a little where I banged it against the city street yesterday afternoon, but I’ll heal. Other than that, it was a pretty typical Wednesday, spent mostly reading that same old art therapy textbook. Still no sign of my iPad, and still no word from Apple that it has been shipped. They promised by the end of April, but we’re rapidly running out of end-of-April days.
Day: April 28, 2010
Wednesday various
- Could a 3-D printer be used to build moon bases? I don’t know, but it’s pretty cool in action. [via]
- They really love football in Texas: one of the state’s high schools is getting a $60M stadium. [via]
- The science of Pokemon [via]
- I can’t believe I haven’t shared the Most Badass Alphabet Ever yet. [via]
- And finally, you know how last week I was saying it was only a matter of time before the DMCA takedowns of those Downfall meme videos got the Downfall meme treatment? Well, here you go.
That’s one way of putting it
Zach Handlen on Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s Tasha Yar:
I have no idea how Tasha Yar could’ve risen this high in Starfleet. She has no impulse control: one minute she’s antagonizing a being of near limitless power, the next she’s hitting on Captain Picard. She’s less a human being than a YouTube comments thread.
