Friday: Huh.

I discovered this evening that my parking lot neighbor died this week in a random accident.  I'd noticed that her car wasn't gone when it usually is in the evening, but I figured that maybe she was on vacation or something.  That's definitely not something you expect to learn out of the blue.  It was good to have met you occasionally over the years, Ms. Parking Lot Neighbor.

Here's a random bear.

• Animals.
• Squirrels.
• Lions are bad mechanics.
• I saw this tweet reblogged, and it made me go to play with Wolfram Alpha as well.  Why no one thought to look up "apply dog vision to photo of a dog," I will never understand.  Why WA decided to choose the dopiest looking dog for the photo, I will also never understand, but I appreciate what you did there, WA.
• Bear simulator.
• Things that aren't important.
• Vampires.
• Toilet paper.  The weird thing about travelling to other countries is that you discover that other countries have weird toilet paper shapes.  It tends to be longer and narrower.  It's like they saw the letter/A4 differences, and said, "Yeah, let's do that to everything."
• Star Trek toys posed.
• Things that are rather important, but kind of long to read.
• This is an important point on H-1B visas.  Or, alternatively, we could have proper unions for things like this.  It's basically the same issue.
• Venezuela.  You can kind of trace exactly how every single thing the government has done has made the situation worse.
