A little pop culture on Friday, quoting Ray Walston as Mr.. Hand from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. testoclese (a word I actually remember Tony "Heh, he said" Wood inventing at Camp Trexler in the '70s--that's not you, is it Tony?) sends along the consummate Jeff Spicolli reply: "That was my skull!" Click here (opens another browser window) for the appropriate sound effect to read the next portion (thanks Whisp). Wow, yesterday was quite a draggy news day, and this morning is certainly no better. The last few weekends have been so unusually busy, I almost forgot what a "normal" Saturday was like. Oh well, it gave me the chance to do some site housekeeping.

Link of the Day: Global Monetary. Makers of a subcutaneous e-commerce chip in your hand read by a sensor in your mouse. Thanks Jim Dosé. If they were serious that $250 might pay to get me to read about having such a chip implanted in my hand, but that's about it (besides, they don't say if it supports USB).
Actual News Story of the Day: ZDTV Virtual Vector reports Scientists target an online chat room as ground zero of an outbreak of syphilis. Thanks Thunderbutt. I guess that's the 90's version of catching an STD from the "toilet seat."
