I guess Novak, denied his Crossfire forum, where he used to harm all of America at once, has taken to simply harming America one pedestrian at a time.

Open full-time, permanent positions include Web Designer and Developer, Senior Perl Programmer, and Product Photographer. There's also a temporary 6-month customer service position open. All are located in the Fairfax office. (I don't work for ThinkGeek or, to the best of my knowledge, know anyone who does. Just thought some of y'all might be interested or know someone else who is.)

The fact that people are COMPLAINING about the WATCHMEN trailer proves that Internet=most efficient pure disgruntlement engine in history.

Things accomplished today: survived DC Department of Vital Records, mostly unscathed; survived Costco, again mostly unscathed.
Things not yet accomplished: Seeing "Dark Knight". Looks like that's going to have to wait until after midnight, because everything up until then appears to be sold out. D'oh!

Thing two: the "Simon's Cat" animations are hysterical because, well, "it's funny because it's true". There's a new one posted:

tenacious_snail has a Burning Man ticket for sale. If you find yourself in need of one, details are over here.[Edit: Looks like someone wised up and took the stories down entirely; both links are currently 404. What was there in both cases was a single sentence: "Story deleted at author's pantiwadulous request."]
No wait, there's more! Protip: When you find yourself in a hole, especially one which is now well over your head, the proper course of action is to stop digging. (Context for this one here)

Our new wooden sushi slicing set in a beautifully painted bento box is just too cool! Three types of sushi rice (nigiri, oshi, and maki) pieces come with shrimp, tuna, salmon roe, and egg pieces. Ginger, wasabi, and a dish of shoyu (soy sauce) are included, along with chopsticks, a play cleaver, and a menu.
Cute! (Found a mention of it in this month's "Paste" magazine. It's also at Amazon for ~$14.)
That said, the Fairfax fireworks display itself was surprisingly impressive. Next year perhaps we should try and go over there a good bit earlier, not least because the 9:20 start time advertised in the paper was apparently really 9:10. I know that, as my dad used to argue, setting off fireworks is essentially taking cash and setting it on fire, but I still love 'em.

That was terrible!
Horrendous!
I'm offended!
I'm appalled!
So what are we going to do?
Well, what else? Email it to everybody we know!
