A very funny comic about boardgaming.

I would totally get a Mac if I could get it etched like this. [via scraun23]

The Green Lantern Theory of Geopolitics: "Thus we see that problems in Iraq and Afghanistan aren't reasons to avoid new military ventures, but reasons why we must embark upon them." Good lord. [via Making Light]

So I don't forget once I get my address changed, Opt Out of easy-approve credit cards. Makes it a bit more difficult to get hit with identity theft. [via uilos]

And, via vvalkyri, a Jim Henson film festival in Silver Spring. I am definitely going to be at Mirrormask at 11:30 PM this coming Friday, and would love to see any and all of you there. I expect I'll be seeing Labyrinth at least twice as well.

So: I have Plans. They are perhaps the Plans of a madman, but they are Plans nonetheless.

Friday: Get off work. Pick up keys to apartment. Drive up to Rockville for dinner and a movie with the lovely uilos. Get back to my parents' house around two in the morning. Sleep briefly.

Satyrday: Wake up Too Damn Early. Be driven to Blacksburg by my insane father. Get a truck. Load it full of my stuff (and quite possibly use the leftover space for some of jlfranklin's). Drive it back to my parents' place, stopping briefly to unload jlfranklin's stuff if necessary. Collapse.

Sunday: The Move. Sleep late. Load furniture into truck if it fits; if not, curse and anticipate another trip back to parents' place. Drive truck to new apartment. Unload truck. Buy lunch for friends. Spend remainder of day getting apartment in order, and also buying groceries. Collapse, in own bed.

So: yes, the Move will be happening on Sunday, July 16. I plan on being there with a truck full of books and also furniture by eleven o'clock. I'm on the first floor, so moving in shouldn't take too long at all, and then there will be Food of some variety. You are all invited and encouraged to come and help; directions are in the Obligatory Contact Info Post.

That's rather nifty. Still haven't eaten lunch at Olive Garden yet, but I expect it's just a matter of time. :)

(And no offence intended, but I'd rather not have my company name present in a public post.)

Ah, my apologies. :]

Anyhow, it's rare that I'm actually in that office, but perhaps if I'm in it around lunch time sometime, I could give you a call. :)

That would /rock/, as I expect I will have had my fill of lunching daily with the other two guys in documentation in about another week or so.
