Quote of the Day
From Coding Horror:
“x86-64? Our children will probably be using it. Meanwhile, the Itanic slips deeper into the North Sea every month.”
True story: A year or so ago, we were talking to a rep from a major server manufacturer. He told us that in the previous year the top three or four vendors had sold around 2 million x64 servers – and fewer than 20,000 Itaniums.
Coding Horror (no relation to Codethulhu) has become one of my favorite programming blogs. If you’re into programming, be sure to check it out.

NORM!!!
I was just reading Tod Goldberg’s weekly rant about the fucktards who write in to parade, which reminded me of the cover story, Tom Cruise asking “Who’s to say what’s normal?”
If you have to ask this question, the answer is: not you.

Quotes, Television
“If I weren’t a lesbian, I’d jump your bones.”
That line, possibly the finest bit of dialog in television history, was uttered in last night’s episode of Criminal Minds, which I try to catch whenever I remember it’s on (I would TiVo it, but that would consume valuable space better used for recording The Wiggles). If you haven’t seen the show, it’s sort of like CSI but with a team analyzing evidence of the perpetrator’s mental state and motives instead of hair fibers and DNA.
Mandy Patinkin is the star, and I though I didn’t think he could pull it off, I have to say that he does a great job. The other characters are generally well-written and acted, too, and the plots are generally interesting. They play against expectations a lot and usually manage to slip in some sly humor, as well.
The Tea Total. Last weekend The Wife went to a baby shower in Shreveport, leaving me alone with the brood, and I stumbled into an interesting experiment. I finished the last of our iced tea Friday evening and whipped up a fresh pot Saturday morning, allowing me to measure my tea intake over the next two days.
The result: from 6am on Saturday to 6pm Sunday, a period of 36 hours, I managed to drink 3 quarts of tea, as well as two Dr Peppers and a couple of glasses of milk. Truly, I am a well-hydrated individual.
