Today's Kisa's first birthday. She's my cat (I use the term 'my' like 'my sister' or 'my cousin' both because she doesn't think I own her and because I share her with my friend (there's that nonposessive 'my' again) Emily.

So of course I have to do it, I have to put a cat photo up. I'm breaking out the camera right now, so don't expect posed perfection. More like candid kitty:

She's just adorable, and though she has no clue it's her birthday, she certainly enjoys her new fur mousie.

Okay, it was spam from a friend, but cute enough to post:

Dilbert's "Salary Theorem" states that:
"Engineers and scientists can never earn as much as business executives and sales people."

This theorem can now be supported by a mathematical equation based onthe following two postulates:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time,

Since:
Knowledge = Power
Time = Money

Knowledge = Work/Money.

Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work / Knowledge.

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity,regardless of the amount of work done.

Conclusion: The less you know, the more you make.

So, who can find the hole in the logic?

Sucked. Really sucked.

I saw a bunch of cool visions today that made me wish I always had a camera at the ready or a mental freeze frame.

The first was driving to Karen and Crystal's place on Alameda Island just before sundown. The sun was setting over downtown San Francisco across the bay, and a biplane was silhouetted coming almost straight for me, but a little to the left. A jet that was still climbing from an Oakland takeoff went right by it, so close that the jet still appeared about three times as large as the biplane, though the biplane was so close I could almost see the pilot. I'm sure they were nearly a mile apart, but it looked like a montage that would scream false if you saw a photo.

Second was driving home to Berkeley. Just after the split from 980 into 24 and 580/80, taking the left hand Hwy 24 lanes, there's a jumble of overpasses that makes a four layer concrete jungle which 24 goes right under. It was all lit from below by floodlights pointing straight up because they're doing construction on the bart tracks there (just before Macarthur station) and I was thinking how Brasil/Blade Runner it seemed, then someone started arc-welding deep in the concrete maze, lighing it up with blue lightning and it all seemed perfect.

After those two the third is just a stupid sight gag and I won't bore you with it. Maybe later I'll go take a picture and put it up.

Have a good one!

Wow. This may be the wrongest (it's a word now) effort yet to tap a movie's success. Clerks wasn't even that successful...

I think the only redeeming value might like in the possibility of Daria crossover episodes.

Good movie. Go see it.

I've switched the default color palette to the light blue ('MacOS') theme. Go take a look at the others and personalize the site!

Wow. The gov't will sell you anything for a profit, even money.

I found a nifty site, Six Degrees of Kevin Fox, which has nothing to do with me, but I like it nonetheless. There really are a lot of us, I suppose.

On a more relevant note, I'm currently working on getting myself into the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) for the bit parts I had in "Carpool (TV)" "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear (TV)" "The Bad Seed (TV)" "Explorers" "Lost in America" "Mask" and "Domestic Life (TV). I'm already only two degrees from Kevin Bacon...
