XM Geeking Goodness and Badness:

The Good: we have 9 different means of getting XM Music channels in this house (XM Roady, XM MyFi, DirectTV high-def receiver, DirectTV Normal receiver, and 5 computers capable of playing windows media at a decent clip).

The Bad: if we were to turn all 9 of them on at once, none of them would actually be in sync with each other.

geeks - an easily detected design inference...:

When the spelling checker built into the new Firefox 2.0 passes "Grokked", you know the geeks are in control...

(warning: bad math pun follows):

So Kate Bush this past year finally returned to the limelight and released her first album since '93, Arial. What I've heard is not bad at all, but XM's Fine Tuning keeps playing a particular track, "pi", where she actually sings the digits of pi in order.

My thought? The song starts out pretty strong, but gets less and less significant as it goes along...

for best results, let a computer read it for you...:

On the package of CostCo pure maple syrup, the following can be easily read...NOT:

"For best results, use by 0C/12/2008".

yes, the month value was rendered in hex.

I finally had to use this one just now...:

"Dude, quit trying to tell me how the internet works. I was posting on Usenet before you were born."

Yes, I verified the age in the profile.

Oh, and I counted about 4 times where I commented that somebody has been updating their icons that day...

should be to the tune of "this is the song that never ends"
