Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, anyone? This reminded me of an article in the National Post a few weeks ago that claimed that many cases of Carpal Tunnel were merely psychosomatic. I know my tendonitis wasn’t.
Jordan has got me reading Portal of Evil news. It’s a good balance with my usual reading of BBC World.
Finally, finally, one of my co-workers gave me a 5-minute description of how Cricket is played. Now when I watch BBC World I won’t toally glaze over when they do the cricket scores 🙂
I finally got my new Nokia GSM phone reliably talking to my computer, changed my operator logo, found out that my phone won’t support startup logos, uploaded ringtones. Yay. Now if only I can fscking export/import from the phone list, I’ll be set.

Am I the only one?). Went out and watched drunk people make fools of themselves (I was the sober one, being the designated driver and all). Fiddled with DVD player.
This is a volunteer-run astronomy centre built on a former US DoD site. Apparently, then still have buildings full of DoD equipment welded to the floors. (Thanks Tony for the link)
Things you learn when administering a large mailing list:
