Gmail Goggles - I honestly had to check the calendar to make sure this wasn't another one of Google's April Fool's Jokes. But 'Gmail Goggles' is an actual plugin developed by Google to prevent you from sending drunk emails in the middle of the night by solving several math problems. Brilliant.

Local Idiot To Post Comment On Internet -
"I will finish posting my comment, then sit there like the worthless human being I am and wait for other commenters to respond," he added. "Because, as I mentioned before, I have nothing better to do with my life."
"We are blessed to be living in an age when we have a global communications network in which idiots, assholes, and total and complete wastes of fucking human life alike can come together to give instant feedback in an unfettered and unmonitored online environment."

Government Attic - The fine fine folks over at Government Attic recently requested documents from the FCC under the Freedom of Information Act. Check out the complains about South Park. Complaints include: The uncut movie was... uncut, one of the characters said 'hell', Stan's dog is gay, talking poop, and well... the above complaint. The FCC's answer to everything? "Programming considered indecent, obscene, violent or otherwise offensive to some viewers may be transmitted over cable systems. The FCC cannot restrict Non-Broadcast (Cable) Programming." Enjoy!

Well this is sad...
An error message I encountered while trying to print a PDF I scanned on our Engineering Lab's Sun Workstations.
It seemed to think the printers are not capable of printing.

This year I was very saddened by the loss of my favorite campus comic, Everybody Drunk but Me in the Daily Cardinal because Laura, the author of the comic had graduated from U-Dub.
However, the past few days this comic strip has caught my eyes:

Madison Flood
After receiving approximately 4 inches of rain in a period of a half hour, it seemed as if the two lakes on the Isthmus of Madison connected together. Almost all of the streets south of Johnson St on campus flooded. The street was filled with stalled vehicles and students playing in the massive street lakes. At several points the water reached up to waist height. Lower-sitting classrooms on campus flooded as well, like in the Humanities and Computer Science buildings, among others.

Dan Savage
Dan Savage, the author of the famous relationship and sex advice column "Savage Love" came for a two hour long Q&A at our school. Sold out for weeks, this totally filled theatre never left Dan Savage (drinking Rathskeller beer out of his water glass) without something to talk about. I laughed so long and so hard my stomach hurts.
Memorable quotes included: "God help you if your thing is dead baby squirrels covered in sh*t" and "I f*cked my boyfriend so hard I thought the hotel room was going to implode".
Other highlights included a mother bringing her young child out of the auditorium about 10 minutes in... as Dan put it: Somebody obviously doesn't read his column. And the two deaf interpreters were hilarious to watch... many of the audience now knows sign language for every sexual word ever created.
Then I got to meet him, and he signed a copy of his first book, "The Kid" for me. So far it's a really good book that those who enjoy is column should read.

Funny Things Today
Some things I found funny today:
- The punchline to Work in Progress by Blake Michener: "Do you know how complicated the vagina is?! It's like a fu**ing bomb schematic"
- A Badger Herald shoutout somebody wrote about a comment my Poli Sci professor made: "to my poli sci 103 professor for suggesting that someone wrap a gigantic condom around the gigantic male sex organ outside camp randall"
- "Mike Hentges"'s response to the delay of Microsoft Vista in The Onion (paper version): "Can't they just release the faulty software now and a patch month later like they always do?"

Sledding at Madtown
So, last weekend we got the snow dumped on us. And it got really cold. As you Madison people know, after a fresh snowfall it is tradition to sled down the hills...
What you see there is about 100 cafeteria trays left over from the night before.
