    • Suit measurements? Anyone in Seattle know of a place in the downtown/First Hill/Capitol Hill area that I could go get measured for a suit without having to buy one? Or, failing that, what measurements are generally needed so I could do it myself? I'm quite clueless in these matters. ➡

    • Nothing to see here. Really. Pablo Picasso's anti-war painting 'Guernica' has hung in the lobby of the U.N. since 1985. It serves as a sobering reminder of the horrors of war to those in the U.N. who may be faced with making decisions as to whether or not to sanction attacks against one country or another. Unless, of course, it's politically expedient not to remind them what war can do, in which case we'll just cover it up. ➡
    • Photographic glitches? Lightning? Alien death rays? I think the thing that bugs me the most about this is that even though NASA has set up a page for people to upload images and video that they may have taken during the shuttle disaster, rather than do that (or, to give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe in addition to that), this guy decided to run to the media and stir up a little controversy. ➡
    • MT: SimpleComments Thanks to a clever little hack by Adam Kalsey, all comments and TrackBack pings that I receive are displayed as a single list on each entry's page, sorted by the time they were received. Much nicer visually than having two seperate listings of responses to one of my posts. ➡
