I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Linkee-poo thinks it's beginning to look a lot like Easter

Some snow today. Just enough to make the deck look like a powdered donut. It's pretty much melted on the streets and lawn. Ah, global warming. Family has been visiting so I haven't had much time to go a-reading across these here intertubuals.

Edit, link is fixed As @fran_wilde said, I love how Pluto's all 'bet you wish I were in your boring planet club now, don'tcha?'" (Grokked from Steven Gould)

"Don’t worry about Best Buy, though. The retailer isn’t hurting its bottom line by canceling orders en mass. The Wall Street Journal quotes an analyst stating 'It’s a hiccup for the company' and 'It probably won’t make a big difference for Best Buy’s holiday sales.' Oh good. Because Best Buy’s earnings were the first things I thought of when this story broke. Screw the customers. They don’t matter anyway." (Grokked from Vince)

Filed under "those in glass houses just shouldn't" Vince shares Rachael Maddow taking Fox News and Sarah Palin to task on their criticism of White House Xmas card. I made the comment the other day that with the standard conservative wackiness, the jokes just write themselves.

So, you've been indefinitely detained. (Grokked from Jay Lake)

That Pluto link is borked and I've been waiting all day for you to fix it so I can see what it's all about.

Sorry, Nathan. Was out doing the family Xmas thing. Link is now fixed.

I've always just been thankful they didn't demote it to Goofy.

They just made it a Pinocchio Planet.
