i'm trying to grow a beard. again.

I’ve never been successful. It’s not that I’m unable to grow one. In fact, it grows rather quickly, for the first three weeks at least. But then, from the third week until about the sixth week, it starts to look the same every day. By then the itchiness factor has taken over and I shave it off.

I need to make it two months this time. Today is day ten.

Drive the Lotus Test Track in Google Streetview! The Lotus folks were even cool enough to put some badass cars on track while they were driving around. Pictured here is the biofuel-powered Lotus Exige 265E Concept. [via Jalopnik]

A denial-of-service attack in the 24th Century A topological anomaly is a type of invasive program, a paradoxical geometric form designed to overwhelm a computer’s processing functions by spawning an infinite number of interlocking anomalous solutions. In 2368, Lieutenant Commanders Data and Geordi La Forge designed such a program, designated topological anomaly 4747, as a weapon against the Borg. They planned to imprint the program onto the eyepiece of Third of Five, and from him it would be spread to the rest of the Borg Collective. The program was expected to cause “total system failure” amongst the Borg after several hundred computational cycles. Source: Memory Alpha

microwave anomalies

On Thursday nights, after community band rehearsal, several of the band members, along with my wife and I, always go to the same bar for post-rehearsal analysis and dinner. Having tried most of the items on the menu in years past, I almost always get a club sandwich.

It’s a good club, and the fries are also excellent. Usually I eat the whole thing at the bar, but sometimes I decide to save one or two sandwich quarters for lunch on Friday, which is what I have done today. For some inexplicable reason, when I re-heat the club in the microwave, that good sandwich becomes INCREDIBLE. I can’t put my finger on the reason why, but it’s definitely different and awesome the following day. It’s just about the only instance I can come up with where a microwave makes oven-prepared food better.

The fries, unfortunately, suffer the exact opposite effect. When re-heated in the microwave, they become soggy and terrible. I always make an effort to eat those in the restaurant, because there’s no point in saving them for later.
