Connection?

There's a possibility that Daylight Savings Girl is a lawyer. However as I mentioned to meig, it's possible that instead of being a stupid lawyer, that it's two different people (due to the locations being a heck of a commute), or it could be someone shaming her, or it could be true that she's the lawyer and she really is satirizing the situation.

Googling her full name "Connie M. Meskimen" turns up only blog posts about the letter, and lawyer-y things, so the lawyer is the only real individual with an internet presence. I'm mildly leaning towards it being satirical now. The coincidence seems too high for it to be two separate people, that's one heck of a way to take out a grudge on someone, and I don't want to think that there's any lawyers out there, even bankruptcy lawyers, with that little grasp of science.

TV Turnoff Week!

It's TV Turnoff Week! Turn off your TV this week and do something else. Enjoy the outdoors. Call a friend. Do something.

Hm, I already don't watch TV, maybe I should turn off the computer. :-P

Thanks to keithlard for the head's up.

Hobby quiz

TECH

You no longer buy gadgets to prove you're cool, or on the cutting edge of any new trend. Now you buy the newest gadgets because you need them to hack (modify, upgrade, or otherwise enhance) your ongoing projects. You already enjoy playing video games, coding your own Web sites, or setting up a network of Tivos. You might like hobbies like building homemade liquid cooling systems for your computers, creating a customized media center, writing video games or applying your technical skills to upgrading cars.

What should your hobby be?

Beartato!

There's this really cute little pseudo comic called Nedroid/nedroidcomics. It's very simplistic, but elegant in a way that Order of the Stick and Dinosaur Comics aren't (IMO). The main recurring character is Beartato, who is some sort of cross between a bear... and a potato. (I really like the dinosaurs myself, but they don't have names.) Well, he recently showed us how to draw Beartato (and Reginald, who is quite possibly imaginary, or maybe it's the other way around).

Well, someone else posted this hilarious response in which he attempts to follow the instructions! It's awesome. ^_^
