I bought the regular XBOX last year, and got a warranty with Best Buy that lets me exchange it for a 360. Planning on doing that this week Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I am bummed! I'm going to be in Fiji for the next week, so I'll have to wait until I get back to watch it on IMAX. Oh yeah, I'm leaving today to go diving in Fiji. So it can't be all that bad Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

I've use them before, and I don't get spam - but I think I checked preferences to ask them not to. Unless THEY'RE the ones that are sending me all the penis enlargement spam. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Here I am at the Four Points by Sheraton in LA. Room averages around $80/night. I got a rental car so I could visit my uncle in Long Beach (Ford Five Hundred, $30/day). The hotel informs me that parking is $10/day. Huh? I've never heard of a hotel that has a separate charge for parking. Does that surprise anyone else? They own the parking lot, and charge people that work at the airport to park there. But why not give free parking to guests? This definitely is NOT something they mentioned when I booked on Hotels.com Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

What are the buildings next door? I haven't been there and want to know what facilities are within walking distance. Kinda hoping for: 1. A place to eat. 2. A hotel. 3. A store to buy blank DVDs, water, etc. 4. A chocolatier (hey, this is a wishlist, right?) Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Calvin, Calvin, Calvin. Boxer Briefs. It's the only cure. And stay the F&*K away from Jockey. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Reading Chuck Palahniuk's novel "Choke". He talks about if a hotel plays the Blue Danube Waltz over the lobby speakers, that's a cue that there's an evacuation emergency, and the employees are to get out. Anyone here work in a hotel, and can confirm/deny this? Usually Palahnuik speaks in shades of truth, and sometimes he just makes things up. Just wondering if this is fact or fiction. Couldn't find anything on snopes. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Sometimes I wonder how I'm doing - I dunno, I guess it's a pent-up little competitive streak or something. To measure, I look back on my life experiences. The more unique and positive experiences, the more successful I consider myself. There's really not much else you can take to the grave Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Very cool for you!!

Seen it. Mediocre, but aren't pretty much all Bill Murray movies? Scarlett's best role - the sci-fi thing with Ewan was just short of interesting. She was later quoted as saying "Sexy young men throw themselves at me ... It's nice, it means I can borrow lots of nice designer dresses, and there are a lot of perks that come with that, I guess." Live it up girl - you've got about 4 years of screen-life left. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Crazy what our Internet culture has spawned. These kids have NO CLUE what the heck they're doing. I've had the same one trying to crack my SSHD for a MONTH now. I mean, c'mon; SSHD - why not just try to rob Fort Knox? It's not even a good attempt: Cisco/password from : 1 Time(s) DEADJOE/password from : 1 Time(s) Dima/password from : 1 Time(s) Jefferson/password from : 1 Time(s) Joe/password from : 1 Time(s) MICRO/password from : 1 Time(s) So the script has IP spoofing. Big deal Does anyone use "password" as a password anymore? Seriously, just download some porn and save the bandwidth. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Huh? You gotta be jumping with people from a different planet than me. I've done a bit of both free-flying and belly flying. By and large, the belly flyers tend to be MUCH better trackers. It's not always the case. But I've seen a lot more FFs that track poorly. I shouldn't be such a judge of tracking - it's something I'm not great at myself. So I do a lot of practice tracking jumps (solo and with groups). I recognize that I should be much better than I am. So I keep working at it ... Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Look at it this way. Did you learn anything about skydiving on your tandem? If yes, then count it. If no, then don't. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Closer to four skydives at many DZs these days But still, good for you!

I usually only ask for my slot. There are really good coaches at my DZ that charge slot+$10. I feel that I'm worth my slot. At the point that I get my AFFI, I'll probably ask for slot+$10. If the student feels like I did a really good job, they can tip me the extra $10. Rarely does it happen, but sometimes it does. I also hint to students about tipping coaches. Usually, they don't know that's acceptable, so it's good to let them subtley know that it's a good practice. I also make sure they see me tipping my own coaches if I think they did a good job.

Better to wonder if there's any truth to the story. Snopes. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

It makes sense to build a footbridge that naturally dampens resonant frequencies in the range of human footsteps. I wonder about everyone walking in step; what if people felt the sympathetic frequency of everyone else underfoot, then started walking in time subconsciously? Kinda like when people tap their toes to music without thinking about it. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

LOL! We left the pumpkins out on the porch. We have a gate that keeps people out, so we weren't worried about pumpkin-smashers. But they're kinda cute, so we let them sit there for a few days. Now we have squirrels eating their faces out!! They started with the baby pumpkin, and gnawed out the eyes and mouth. I hate squirrels. But I don't see any harm them eating our jack-o-lanterns. Just as long as they stay out of the garden Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Not before jumping, but I do stretch before getting into the tunnel. Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

Not to me - I am a water snob. Fiji is THE best. I like Evian too, but some people don't. Arrwohead used to be good, until Nestle bought them, then their water started tasting like tap water. If you live in Colorado, Eldorado is pretty good. Z-hills is so-so if you're in FL. I definitely stay away from Aquifina (Pepsi) and Dasani (Coke) - tastes like sludge.
