A cold and rainy Monday, with not a lot more to say about it than that. More rain, possibly even snow, predicted for later in the week.
I did book my plane tickets for my trip to Banff in September, so there’s that. I’m looking forward to it!
Day: March 21, 2011
Song of the day
“(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding” by Nick Lowe
You’re probably more familiar with the Elvis Costello version, but the song was originally written by Lowe during his time with the band Brinsley Schwarz. And I think I actually like Lowe’s re-recording of it from 2004’s Untouched Takeaway best.
Monday various
- It will probably come as no surprise that McDonald’s new oatmeal is actually sort of bad for you. [via]
- Or that the TSA’s full-body, backscatter radiation scanners are quite likely worse for you than the TSA’s faulty research earlier suggested. [via]
- And speaking of radiation — as it seems we must, daily, given the unfolding disaster in Japan — how close is your home to a nuclear power plant? Me, I’m just under fifty miles from Indian Point. [via]
- Was Doctor Who villain Davros actually created by a 13-year-old boy in 1972?
- And finally, the Monty Python Guide to Being a Better Boss. I’m not entirely convinced I’d want to work for this person.
