I just applied Alton Brown knowledge for the first time evah, making a cup of coffee more or less as prescribed by Good Eats, using a manual-drip coffee maker to produce a pretty good hot cuppa of the nothing-special whole-bean coffee which I have boxes and boxes of (thanks to my parents getting me a "subscription" to it last year).

Now to try it with Diesel Fuel...

The iPod Shuffle is a brilliant insinuation of eristic philosophy into an aneristic marketplace. That its appearance has confused and even angered so many people, to whom it appears to be utterly unsellable nonsense, is delightful evidence of this. Discuss.

Hang on, what are you doing drinking coffee so late? Well, I really wanted one. And I was mulling the possibility of pulling an all-nighter in order to better the chances that I'll finish all this work and be able to attend the whole Hunt guilt-free. As luck would have it, I'm getting quite sleepy anyway, and will probably just turn in now that I've reached the "OK, at least it compiles" phase.

Things are looking grim. But, ask me again tomorrow.

My brother Steve does not like the marketing of lack of control as a lifestyle choice.

I presume you've seen this and this but maybe some of your readers haven't.

It always tickles me to see friends I don't consider to be Discordians applying Discordian philosophy or theology.

They're certainly selling this with heavy appeal to the eristic virtues, perhaps because it doesn't have too many aneristic ones (other than the price, I suppose). People who have bought into the aneristic trip would certainly be baffled, as there are no "good" points to it. It's perhaps the most unbalanced-toward-the-eristic major product in the electronics industry we've seen yet. If it succeeds, it will be evidence of major eristic inroads into the collective mindscape.
