Normally, conversation threads on technology sites usually consists of a mix of trolls, opposing experts and techn00bs, but this Gizmodo.com thread was simply amazing. The article is on a remote controlled vasectomy. I’ve never seen the phrase “my boys!” used so much.

Why can't American buildings be this cool?
Hamburg Design Center by OMA from Dezeen.
The Guggenheim in New York is nice but the one in Bilbao, Spain is even nicer. But between the Hamburg installation and the Atomium I now have a reason to visit Germany/Belgium. The blather on Dezeen is eyebrow-raising. The building is composed of 10 modular blocks yet changing the configuration of the structure is done by moving internal partitions using technology that’s probably not much more advanced than a high-school gymnasium. You figure you could move the blocks around Lego-style. One day, one day.

A trip barely as long as the runway
One of my class mates mentioned that she was born on a flight from Tallinn to Riga, Estonia which are a bit over 100 miles apart. I find this feet impressive in both that someone flew such a short distance but was able to give birth during that period of time. She’s a junior so I’ll assume it was when Estonia was a Soviet client state and the airplane was pulled by a team of donkeys.
Kickstart the birthing process
One of my coworkers is preparing to have her first child in early April and as the delivery date approaches she’s scheduled lab testing such that tests involving loud startling noises occur far from when her baby’s due. She was not amused by my attempt to schedule random double-blind starter pistol testing for late March.
Wonder how that got there
I use hardback, spiral-bound notebooks to jot down ideas and so on but mostly as a to-do and a to-post list. I was rifling through an old one when I found the following entry: “God 215-917-XXXX” (don’t want to just give out God’s phone number). I should probably call him/her sometime.
Site Note: I added about 3-4 postings from Thursday to Saturday that I’ve back-dated. So if you’ve missed some, they’re probably there.
Normally time travel is required for this.
Anthony’s Birthday shindig elicited two wonderful quotes:
Tom Leitz about Matan Shavit spending his first year in the Trading post as Rob Scafidi’s assistant: ‘Matan is not there to be your predecessor.’
Bill Schilling on his dog’s ability to eat: ‘My dog downs more wood than a Chicago prostitute’
I was having a bad day

Dressed for disease
Next Friday, everyone at work is encouraged to wear red to support women with heart disease. I think the Friday afterwards attractive women should wear low cut purple tops and short skirts to support men with erectile dysfunction.
