Psychologist Dr. David Weeks mentions people with a mental illness "suffer" from their behavior while eccentrics are quite happy.^[6][7] He even states eccentrics are less prone to mental illness than everyone else.

According to studies, there are eighteen distinctive characteristics that differentiate a healthy eccentric person from a regular person or someone who has a mental illness (although some may not always apply). The first five are in most people regarded as eccentric:^[6]

• Nonconforming attitude
• Idealistic
• Intense curiosity
• Happy obsession with a hobby or hobbies
• Knew very early in his or her childhood they were different from others
• Highly intelligent
• Opinionated and outspoken
• Unusual living or eating habits
• Not interested in the opinions or company of others
• Mischievous sense of humor

what a hernia feels like

When your ileocolic valve between
small and large intestines empties into a hernial
excursion of the latter, you get some very loud gurgling noises.

These feel like a cat on your lap (well, your right
lap) purring.  For a second every 10-30 seconds.

As long as Mr. Appendix is ok, we're cool.  Since it was last November 2011 (or 2010?), I'm good.

Entropy always wins.  Everyone dies of something.

(5 of plumbing for every cancer, but I've shown that you will eventually (in the mathematical sense) eventually get cancer.  At least as modern Western it probably won't be disease or violence, war, famine, or plague.

cat harvest

Cat finally got one of the Mockingbird pairs that was constantly cawing and flying around our house.  I'm impressed.

The mate is cawing and I feel sorry but that's evolution.

This is the most tiny, and only female cat I've symbioted. What a gal.  She's gotten a little larger, so perhaps she was not fully mature when adopted.

Rats bats lizards and several avian species.

Kid asked me not to save the corpses next to the key he needs to access daily.  So moved a few shelves down.

reuters as fascist tool

"Burials are quick in order to hide casualties and identities."




No, you clueless Reuters reporter, in deserts you bury fast.  Jews, Muslims, others.
Best not to rot or spread contagion.  The amerinds would burn dwellings too.


Your sheltering empire is crumbling, reuters, report on it.

Needs aviator goggles, rigidized airblown scarf (for look and to stay away from blades).

Snoopy and his doghouse have nothing on this.


Needs Ride of the Valkyeries broadcast, and two others that fly in formation.  Kittie don't surf.

Two days later, "society screwed me over"

RF control

Helped test a RF4CE (ie Zigbee consumer subset, a 802.15.4 radio) remote control. Went over 400 feet in a parking lot without any failures. That's nearly a tenth of a mile! We stopped testing. But it was fine at 400 feet. Tested inside, saw crazy results. More power more problems esp. with transmitter orientation as a factor. A 400 foot RF remote is probably a dual use item. Jus sayin.

Google vs. Sun/Oracle

Been watching the Google v Sun legal conflict. Basically I think the Nintendo decision that "an operational interface can't be copyrighted" applies. Nintendo once made a game system that required the display of the name Nintendo to run software. Non-Nintendo authors had to duplicate this. Nintendo sued, saying the name is copyrighted. Justice said yes, but since you made it operational, you fail. A language, an API, are operational interfaces. Sorry, Sun. They even implemented their own VM. And 9 obvious lines? Gimme a break. .... During his testimony last week, former Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz said that Google had done nothing wrong in building its own version of Java .... He argued that Google’s use of Java was akin to using the same labels that Oracle uses on the outside of a filing cabinet — but not the same files and folders used on the inside. IE The Lotus spreadsheet decision.. menu item order etc is not copyrightable, its an interface. ..... Van Nest also attacked Oracle’s complaint that Android has fragmented the Java platform. “You haven’t heard a single developer come in and say, ‘Gee, I’m unhappy about Java because Android fragmented it,’” he said to the jury. He then presented a number of slides and emails that ostensibly show that Sun fragmented Java itself. “And they recognized it,” he said. Yes!
