Oh man. This list of “sissy, post-grunge, mid-90’s poseurs” just breaks my heart. Why? Because it looks like my Top Rated playlist in iTunes. Those are ALL the songs from when I was in high school! See, this is why I don’t listen to much modern music anymore. My tastes just aren’t fashionable enough. (Okay, okay. I’ll admit I do cringe a little when “The Freshmen” comes on.)

It’s me and Bex, proudly representing the non-blue-hairs! Miss Fee and Lara are with us too. Shame on all you slackasses still in bed!

Golden Snitch Knitting Needles
Golden Snitch Knitting Needles. Awww, those are so cute! I’d make myself a pair, except for the fact that I rarely use straight needles anymore. (Link courtesy of Bex.)

Sword of Destiny!
I’ll admit that when I read the headline “Magician injured in sword trick,” my first thought was of Gob Bluth. And now I have “The Final Countdown” stuck in my head…

Uses of Beeswax. For some reason I just found that interesting.

Poker-playing robot
Hey Jenny: I’m interested to hear what my “cousin-in-law” Dave has to say about this poker-playing robot. I almost think it’s a flawed experiment to begin with, because the whole point of being a good poker player (as I understand it) is to read your opponent. The cards you get shouldn’t matter at all. But a computer just can’t (as far as I know) interpret the millions of subtle bits of body language that humans are capable of. And conversely, there’s no way for the human to get a read on his opponent’s game other than by the card’s he’s shown. It just seems like more of a stunt than anything.

Knitty Surprises
The Knitty surprises are up! I like this Emerald Seas tank a lot, and I just may have to make this grocery bag. They’re getting added to my Ravelry queue!
