Drunk with power, last night I did some severe pruning in Wikipedia’s main Heraldry article, taking out a lot of arcana that do not belong in an overview (barrulets? erminites?) and adding a few paragraphs on design principles, symbolism (or lack thereof) and styles. I’m eager to see what someone will do to it next.
I’ve also been poking at a lot of Buffy-related pages, mostly adding links and reshaping awkward or prolix sentences to my taste.
Brad Spangler provides contact info for the DA of Placer County, whose job it is to persecute Steve Kubby for trying to stay alive by unapproved means.
I’m on graveyard shift. Last night there were two of us but tonight I have the floor to myself. It’s so slow, I’d be tempted to strip down and run laps, if I could be sure there are no cameras; I haven’t spotted any but it’s a rather hi-tech building. How hi-tech?
So there’s a banner ad (on Greg Dean’s Real Life Comics) that reads:

Never have a picture of a well-adjusted African on the cover of your book, or in it, unless that African has won the Nobel Prize. An AK-47, prominent ribs, naked breasts: use these. If you must include an African, make sure you get one in Masai or Zulu or Dogon dress.
I learn to my surprise that the iconic soccer ball is younger than I am.
I recently began contributing to Wikipedia; my biggest contribution so far is these tables of convex uniform polychora (the data are borrowed, the arrangement mine).
After a few days of this, wherever I see a webpage with awkward language I want to find the Edit button!
