Am I the last to see this?

the wonderful thing about standards

is that there are so many to choose from!

Elsewhere in the wonderful world of webtoons, how to stand out from the crowd.

argh

And now I’m getting spammed by Frappr: DOWN CLOTHING from Chino (CA) would like to be your friend and join your Friend Map.

I only bloody joined Frappr because one of my groups wanted to get everyone on the map. See if I fall for that one again.

and then vampires come, and they start making these stupid little mini-pizzas

So there I was, getting into the swing of Wikipedia, doing my bit for (among others) numerous entries relating to Buffy. I noticed that the pages for Darla, Angel, Spike and Harmony repeated a bunch, so I created an entry on Joss Whedon’s vampires to collect it in one place. Six days later someone else came along and replaced it with a much longer article full of misspellings and clutter, retaining not one of my well-written sentences.

Harrumph.

I guess every contributor gets a similar shock sooner or later.

stopped for speeding?

Yesterday I saw Officer Friendly take a man’s pulse. Why?

I didn’t see the beginning of the encounter. They were standing on a street corner; there was a bicycle standing by, apparently belonging to the examinee, who showed no obvious signs of distress or impairment. Two black-and-whites were parked nearby, presumably having disgorged the pulse-taker and his backup (who was standing ready to ensure that Bicycle Guy didn’t try anything funny).

keep the customer occupied

I have an idea for an automatic cat-teaser. (Too bad I haven’t tried to build anything since childhood.) It consists of a double pendulum driven by two perpendicular oscillators.
