Running both a little late, and a little ragged this morning, the result of good old-fashioned poor planning. I ambitiously signed up for a three-day adult education class, and between the distance to the college where it's being given, which is a couple-hour drive away, and the scheduling, which had the first class end last night a bit after 10:00 PM and the second begin this morning at 7:30 AM, this would have left barely enough time to do this update in between, much less return to class, so basically I'm cutting today (don't send the truant officer after me, I have a BFG). I think this was a wise choice, since this is a motorcycle safety course I'm describing here, and I don't think there would have been much safety involved in operating a motorcycle in the fuzzy state this would have left me in.

Link of the Day: Blues News. Thanks Axel. You think all these sites are mad at me?
Bonus Link: Robocar, a real-life transformer(!). Thanks 3Y3.
Story of the Day: Zoning Board Axes Chicken Statue (Fox). Thanks theAntiELVIS. A statue statute. You know if you outlaw chicken statues then only outlaws will have them.
Weird Science: American company invents windows that clean themselves (Ananova). Thanks Andrew Arace.
Auction of the Day: Rockstar Celebrity Urinal!. From a recording studio, which means its intended use is probably the least unsavory activity in which it had a part. Thanks again Andrew Arace.
