Dorkbot

This looks like it might be worth my while to come to and bring some Jmac's Arcades. Anyone wanna come with? I feel antsy that I haven't made any in three months, even though I have the inspiration for the next one; the other pillars just win out in the continual fight over motivation. So this might give it a little boost.

Speaking of the automated dorkiness implied by the subject line, xach strikes again with another wigflip toy, this one letting you make your own "lolcats"-style images without Photoshop. I started to show my appreciation by taking pictures he's posted of himself and his little son and putting I CAN HAS JUICEBOX or something on it but it didn't feel right, so I'll just talk about it here instead la bla.

Oh, and since it came up in conversation today: you have probably already seen loltrek, which I was amused to discover was by Stephen Grenade and some of the other interactive-fiction people I vaguely know. Good job, guys.

Head cases

doctor_atomic in town, so met for lunch today. We played Cribbage on the grass in Harvard Square (where I narrowly avoided getting skunked), and ate at Cafe Pamplona, in the sun. (My first time there. Yum yum.) The skin on my face interprets the unfamiliar presence of Vitamin D as a viral intruder and defends itself by turning red and peeling off.

She agreed with me that my hair looked terrible, and with my assertion finally validated (for certain parties had been insisting that it looked fine) I went back to Dente's for repair work. They didn't charge me, which was right nice of them. (I had them cut it even shorter than they suggested. I had to be sure.)
