August 4, 2003 – not falling down

MSN (don’t bother reading the article, it’s old hat):

“Asked how many partners they desired over the next month, men on average said 1.87, while women said 0.78.”

“I don’t want a whole one,” said one female respondent. “Just seventy-eight hundredths. Here, I’ve got this coupon.”

MSN:

“… As much of the world nears an Internet address crunch, North America stands as an island apart, threatening to fragment plans for the biggest overhaul of the Web in 30 years.”

It’s been around for thirteen years. You morons. The article’s fairly interesting, though. The Department of Defense: Your unlikely ally in the fight for standards compliance!

No presentation this morning–the CEO had appendicitis this weekend! (And I got a hernia!) He’s fine, though, so it’s just rescheduled for a week later.

I bought a TV yesterday, although I ended up choosing brand reliability over a flat screen and got a Phillips. We still don’t have cable at home, but I do have an XBox and a brand-new high-definition AV pack, and now–no offense, TARC–me and S-Video are best friends.

Speaking of TARC, the same bus I’d been taking from the old apartment actually comes right by the new apartment, which is convenient to the point of suspicion. I have to get up earlier, but I also get to nap on the bus now. Coming soon: sleepy Brendan misses his stop and ends up hitching back from Indiana.
