They revved the iPhone LJ app. And I have a phone with text to speech rather speech to text. I should post more.

I love it when users send an email and TELL you that their computer is giving them an error message...but they don't tell you ANY PART of the actual error message.

I live in an area where groups of riders on motorcycles can drive wheelies down the freeway or stand on the gas tank while going very fast,and the cops can't do anything because of helmets and masks. Chasing them is way too dangerous.

And then police don't have time to arrest the little vandal and petty thieves...

As I mentioned way back here, I played racquetball a little bit. I guess I was in high school. I had access to the gym at the local Air Force Base because I was a dependent and my father was the gym manager at the time.

As I have probably mentioned MANY times before, my left leg doesn't bend. So, when playing racquetball, I had a disadvantage towards that side. So I liked playing people for the first or second time...because I could win. But eventually they'd get better at it and just win all the time. I'd quit asking them and they never asked me either after that.

What'd I learn from it?
1. If you're waiting for the other guy to hit the ball...don't look back towards him. Just keep your eye on the front wall.

2. A skill you MUST master quickly. You have to be able to hit the ball off the back wall hard enough to make it to the front wall. Because sometimes that's the only way.

Later on, when getting my leg looked at, the doctor told me racquetball was probably bad for that leg...so I quit. 
---

That leg kept me from the trials, tribulations, and embarrassment of PE: that's right. I didn't have PE after fifth grade. Not in college either. No wonder I don't get enough exercise now.

Just watched the episode of Bones that was about the unidentified remains that turned out to be of a veteran that died in Washington D.C. on 9/11. The show promoted PTSD awareness as well.

It started with all the interns that are still alive all together in one room. Bones assigned them to identify as many of the unknown remains as possible. 

At one point, my favorite intern, the one that sounds like a hick, made some bigoted remark about religion to the intern that, I think, is Muslim. The Muslim schooled him about how the hijackers had hijacked his religion on that day as well. It was a VERY good speech.

The episode is "Patriot in Purgatory". Check it out. It was very good.

So apparently being a geek or nerd has become so desirable that there may be "fake" nerds.

And there are people accusing other people of being fake nerds.

I find this ridiculous. But I've noticed that when there are more than four humans in one group, there's dissent. Human beings just can't get along.

In the geocaching community, there's a number of cachers that hate micros (caches the size of a film can). Those folks say that micros should be "banned". Because, you know, somehow just ignoring something is not good enough.

Why are people like this?
