resistance to persistence

These seats look so lonely without anyone to sit there.

From BoingBoing:

“some company has developed food packs for the us army that can be rehydrated with urine. It’s supposed to reduce the amount of water(and therefore weight) they need to carry. The pouch has a filter that removes almost all the toxins from the urine”

I don’t care if the pouch gets rid of 100% of the toxins…I’m still not eating anything after I leak on it. Just visualizing that act makes me lose my appetite. This reminds me of a bet made by some guys I knew in university involving a pizza. The bet was made that the guy couldn’t pee and hit something from 10 feet away. So they threw a slice of pizza down 10 feet away and sure enough he hit it….and covered it. The loser of the bet then had to eat the pizza.

Something I never have as a decent reference is the listings for the CVS keywords. So I’ll post the ones that I find useful so I (and others) can refer to them.

I saw this advertisement in the subway on the weekend.

Download the free book
Servlets and JavaServer Pages from TheServerSide.com. I just keep downloading more and more of these free books and chapters for review, but never get a chance to review them. I need a way to remember I even have them. Where’s the universal knowledge management application I was looking for?

The Complete Guide to Isometric Pixel Art

Yet another cool thing I’d love to try. You know those little pixel drawings that are becoming very popular, well this guy did a tutorial on how to get started and you don’t need a lot to get to work. MSPaint(ugh) will do the job for the most part.

Panoramas.dk has yet another great panorama photo (Quicktime VR plugin required - you’ve probably already got it). This one is of the Apollo moon landing. Spin around for a 360 shot.
