I am the Liper, I have come to lick your Lindows.
Linspire will now be the name of the OS formally known as Lindows.
Let a life, Lill. When your product gets to the point that it is so present in the everyday, all the king’s horses and all the king’s lawyers will not be able to do anything about it. Face it, Sister. Those Lindash guys are going to do whatever they are going to do with or with out the snappy product name. Litigation only makes y’all look bad.
So luck my lick.

Hey stylesheet stylesheet stylesheet stylesheet stylesheet stylesheet stylesheet stylesheet… CASCADE!

Damn.. Didn’t work. I’ve been tooling around a bit with CSS lately, but I ain’t got no booklearnin’. These things take time.

Class was a daisy today. One student sported a shirt with a message demanding fallatio, but with certain letters substituted with numbers ala haxorsprach. I asked him if his mother knew about that shirt. He said his mom bought it for him.

I hate it when hack journalists start off their articles by saying that they find it funny or crazy or whatever when so-and-so does this and that. But dig: This month’s Sax–the Saxon culture mag has this on their cover of the mag. Recognize that chick? You should. She’s been all over the web since like three years or so. I fell in love with her quite a while back when the Onion used her for this funny lil bit of satire.

Welcome back folks.

My first classes of the semester have gone about as smoothly as was expected. I still haven’t hung out the promised sign up list mentioned above. I will try to do that Wednesday. In the meantime, anyone still interested in that course should contact me via my form mail (the contact button on the left).

In other news, regarding one particular “grown up” class off campus, I did a little “research” regarding the nature of the “Guerteltier”.

I had no idea what a “belt animal” was in English, so I played a round of 20 questions as to what kind of animal it was supposed to be. Is it a real animal? Yes. Is it warm-blooded? They didn’t know. One student thought that they lay eggs. We established the fact that the animal in question did have a hard shell, but one student insisted that “it’s like a turtle, but with long legs”. My first guess would have been armadillo, but then I wasn’t sure. I could go on, but I’ll spare you the details. Below are some children’s websites that put us in the picture.

So, long story short, it’s an armadillo, a kissing cousing to the anteater and the sloth. That’s good company.

Wee. Its the first day of the semester. Easter is next weekend. I’ll be seeing you little punks starting next Tuesday. I need to take time out from blogging for the next week, though. Too much to do!

As I dredged through story after news story this here Thursday, as I am often doing in idle moments on any given day, I encountered a number of hoaxes and the like–and a number of self-congratulatory commemorative pieces listing the “best of”s for this day, All Fools’ Day, to boot.

As I am sure you have already heard, Pete Ustinov died yesterday. This morning, we learned that Alistaire Cooke, mere days after retiring, has followed suit.
