I think I may have hit upon an interesting web project that could, with the right tender loving care, became a good business opportunity. I would need somebody to help me build it though. I can manage the interface design and all of that pretty well, but I am not a programmer, and this project…

Number Spirals are really cool. There is an elegance in the apparent symmetry that is kind of awe inspiring. Via

What do you suppose is worse? The fact that my dentist accidentally left a stitch in today.

I think there’s something wrong with my brain. I just went to quit an application, and the print menu came up. I cancelled, and tried to quit again — this time taking the time to make sure I hit the right menu command. The print menu came up again. I started wondering if there was…
