not really a blog, here are just some notes, quotes, links and thoughts that are as much for myself as anything. if anyone else ever reads this, please excuse the silliness. hi mom
and, "smallduck".. don't call me that. it's just an id from back in the day playing Marathon at work (guess what colour i always was). as well as going to this page, through the inevitable magic of RSS these entries also land on my facebook page - where i use my real name :-o
i recently changed the theme of this page but i still don't like it. i then customized it a bit and now i like it slightly less.

Mega-who?
The director of the Luc Besson-penned sequel “Transporter 3” is someone named Olivier Megaton. I bet Mr. & Mrs. Megaton are very proud.
» Socotra Island in the Indian Ocean - The Most Alien-Looking Place on Earth!!
From the page: “Imagine waking up on [this island] … let’s say your buddies pulled a prank on you and delivered you there … you’d be inclined to think you were transported to another planet” - I want to pull that prank! But on who? Hmm…

» THE THING is a quarterly periodical in the form of an object
“Each year, four artists, writers, musicians or filmmakers are invited by the editors (Jonn Herschend and Will Rogan) to create an everyday object that somehow incorporates text. This object will be reproduced and hand wrapped at a wrapping party and then mailed to the homes of the subscribers with the help of the United States Postal Service.”

Be sure to watch it all, or at least skip ahead for the last 30 seconds and the two captions at the end (I won’t spoil it). I dare anyone to then say money spent on space technology is wasted.
» I'm now a big fan of CERN's Brian Cox, him with John Barrowman at CERN's LHC needs to be heard
I downloaded these a while ago but just listened recently. Wow! I haven’t heard advanced science explained so well since Carl Sagan. (yeah Michio Kaku, I’m saying you suck)
Definitely listen to the first one with John Barrowman, maybe the next one with architect Charles Jencks (who himself talks a lot of science jargon-feel free to ignore what you don’t understand), and the one with Reverend Victor Stock (titled Science and Religion) if you’re interested in that kind of discussion.
The ones with the Kevin & Simon characters were pretty funny (a bit long), as was the last one with Chris Morris. I also really liked the ones with skepticism activist & author Phil Plait and CERN theoretical physicist John Ellis, but those and the others perhaps aren’t for everyone.

Ars Technica reviews the Pleo, compares it to its predecessor Furby and to Sony’s AIBO. Cool, the reviewer taught his Roomba to sing Christmas carols.

- Thok: Wikipedia cites Mystique as a decent example of Neutral Evil.
- Ken: Ladies and gentlemen, the nerdiest statement ever typed.
- MGK: No, that would be “Wikipedia cites Mystique as a decent example of Neutral Evil, as further exemplified in my X-Men/Battlestar Galactica crossover fan-fiction series.”

» My ISP's name servers appear to have GREAT source port randomness and GREAT transaction ID randomness, do yours?
If you’re using name servers that don’t randomize their activity well, then the next time you visit your bank’s site, you may get sent to a look-alike thief’s instead and you probably wouldn’t know! I believe most ISP’s have fixed this by now, but it you may want to make sure.
