16. February, 2003 - wrapping up the weekend
- I probably should have pointed to this earlier in the weekend: Inspiration Through Inebriation! Fine posters in the spirit of the demotivators [holy schmoly]
- crab vs. pipe
This is a video taken in 6000 feet of water. An undersea robot is sawing a 3mm wide slit (1/10th of an inch ... remember that width) in a pipeline. The pressure inside the pipeline is 0 psig, while the pressure outside is 2700 psi, or 1.3 tons per square inch. Then a crab comes along....

- Salon warns it may not survive beyond February. They're out of money, and not enough people are paying to read their news. [fark!]
- The User Friendly Programmer. It's a good thing for programmers to have worked tech support at some point in their lives. [holy schmoly]
- Hepatitis-like virus protects against HIV. The connection's not clear enough to suggest people get intentionally infected, but it seems to help people survive longer. [holy schmoly]
- Can You Turn That Down, Please? One of the few things I don't like about living in the city is the noise. There was a guy down the street who drove his boom-car by multiple times per day. There's my next-door neighbor who cranks the bass on his stereo so you can hear it through the whole house (sometimes late at night). There's the electronic carillion on the church next door. Bleagh. [boing boing]
- Google Buys Pyra: Blogging Goes Big-Time. Huh. I think maybe it's time to watch what Google's doing a little more closely. They're starting to own bigger and bigger pieces of the Internet. [scripting]
