(no subject)
Apr. 18th, 2011 11:07 amI've actually been out and about, of late, and realized that I hadn't mentioned any of it here.
I made it to part of BarCamp last weekend[1], but left early to head to the Boston Athenaeum's exhibit of Edward Gorey artwork. Too too fabulous. I also visited the Gibson House Museum, which is a preserved Victorian house (designed by the same guy who designed the Athenaeum building, in fact) in the Back Bay. I did fail, however, to get out to any of the Boston Skill Share this weekend.
RANDOMLY LINKY THINGS!
[1] It was held at the msft building on Mem Dr, which has many wall panel decorations scattered about that I can only describe as WALL OF SPHINCTERS. I don't know what's up with that. I've seen weird Corporate Art at msft (the giant dresses in the conference facility built on the Redmond campus around 1999/2000 come to mind) but this is extra wacky.

- dinosaur comics on poker as she is played, which is to say, like Pokemon but dumb.
- a penguin being tickled
- An iceberg. Yes, that will do.
- Small Aussie kids encounter a life-sized puppet of a small tyrannosaurus rex
- and for a more serious link, some folks in the office of the joint chiefs of staff point out that, really, we need to spend more on developing our people.
