Speaking of clocks...

... and who isn't these days? Tick tock, tick tock,...

Origami

I'm not one for passing on YouTube clips but this one is a little, errr, unique. Yes folks, you too can make a origami vagina. Yes, you read right. Worth watching all the way through. It only gets better.

Black face comedy

How far we've come. How far we have to go.

Creationism

The last two paragraphs go far in explaining why this country is in the sad shape it is today. My kids just realized how few Americans believe in basic science, as if "belief" is necessary.

As Benjo sez, if ya don't believe in evolution, the scientific method, and modern technology you don't get to go to emergency rooms, get operations, or enjoy the other benefits of contemporary society.

Days in each month

Do you have trouble remembering how many days are in each month? When I say "September" or "July" do you know what the last day is?

And don't give me that "Thirty days hath September..." sh*t. If I could remember the damn poem I could remember the number of days in a given month!

The answer lies in you hand, or should I say on top of your hand. In my family we learned a trick that's shown here.

One down, how many more to go?

Evangelist Jerry Falwell is dead. Who's next?

Seattle: where to go, drink, eat, & play

JetCityOrange now sports several pages about Seattle: getting around, where to eat & drink, what to do, and even Seattle trivia.

Anyone have any suggestions or feedback?

When I'm 64...

JB sent this video to me. I never was much of a Who fan but this rendition makes my heart skip a beat. Perhaps it's cuz I have the distinct honor and pleasure of growing old myself. Well, at least physically old.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama in San Francisco

I put together a (very) short video of HHDL in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. Lisa & I went down for a two day teaching. I'm in love with the man.

If ya do, then this may be the online fortune cookie for you. One at a time, as an RSS feed, or embed it into your web pages. It's a free fortune cookie server.

Enjoy!

Attention all number freaks!

Homegirl Nancy passed this one on:

At three minutes and four seconds after 2 AM on the 6th of May this
year, the time and date will be 02:03:04 05/06/07.

Mark your calendar. Set your watches.

HHDL in SF

Lisa & I came to SF to hear HHDL teach. Deep stuff. And as an added bonus I finally got to hear the Gyuto Monks perform.

Whoa...

Renting a car

I go online and reserve a rental car. I give them my name, dates and time of pickup and dropoff, credit card info, address and phone, whatever they ask for. And I've rented from them for years.

So what's the first thing they do? Ask me all of this again and type. And type. And type some more. I swear it would be faster if I walked up to the counter cold and did it from scratch. Tell me how technology is helping either side here.

Barcodes yet again

When will the madness stop? Is there no end in site? Enuf with the bar codes all ready.

And now this: barcodes & Gitmo

When spam = 666

You just know it's gonna be a good day when you open your Gmail and notice how much spam you've gotten.

Yep, the Devil's been writin' to me agin...

Spam. It just keeps getting funnier & funnier.

Ahhhh, spam. The digital kind, not the tinned meat product. I gave up mammels 30-odd years ago. I wish the email variety would shun me.

If nothing else the subject lines give me cause for pause:
  Have jellyfish the calamity
  To be poultry
  And of salvation
  So what
  Even FBI agents must get a degree first, read how
  Re: you hangable
  FW: jujube provider
  Or shave an salamander
  The power of a dumb idea
  He flouts it joyfully.
  on confucian the jellyfish
  Is your dick like a scared turtle
  ensconce drapery
  Fine, i won't tell them
  be altitude
  Of course, this practice may get you shot, bitten by a dog or arrested.
  so true
  Bring back that fresh PC feeling
  Go be zoroastrian

Hey, I just throw it out. I don't write it!

Don't look Billy. Cover your eyes

And you want me to put this in my mouth? Besides, I wanted Mary Anne. Ginger would have been waaaay too high maintenance on that island.

Appropriate in that Coleman and I are going to NYC next week. I've always thought the sidewalks in The Big Apple were vacuums that sucked the change outta yer pockets.

Going to Boston too. Lobster at Summer Shack, hangin' with old homies, and buying art in New York. Long live JetBlue!
