I'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!

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.

[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.
