Sometimes I wonder about you, internet

It goes to this post, but I wonder what this person was really looking for:

Is it some weird Rule 34 thing? Geeze, I hope not.

A small product review: memory foam pillow

A couple of my pillows were to the point where when you took off the pillow case you wanted to put a new one right back on before it touched and infected anything. Pretty bad. So at the big box bulk item store the other day they had two packs of memory foam pillows, going for just a couple dollars more than the regular kind. Thinking "what the heck," picked up a pack of them.

Wow. Very comfortable. Very good investment. If you ever find yourself needing a new pillow, and don't mind looking forward every day to going to sleep, I highly recommend trying it out.

And a more techno-y keytar from the northeast

Kind hipsterish, too.



Still, I found it entertaining and catchy, so I may be able to overlook some faults.

Typical Government Effectiveness: an Analogy

So at work I've been using a free program made by the Army Corps of Engineers, a super-duper double-effective government bureaucracy if ever there was one.  This program, called HECRAS, is sort of a standard in the industry,  apparently, used for analyzing river hydraulics.

Let me just say that this program is the perfect representation of our government.  It works, marginally, at what it was designed for, but is so incredibly frustrating for a person to work with that you often want to throw your computer across the room.  The provided documentation is extensive, yet hard to understand, and seems to leave out a few key points for basic functions.  The user interface leaves something to be desired, and, the best indicator of all that this program was designed by a government bureaucracy, THERE IS NO UNDO BUTTON.

Who else would  make a computer program that deals with hundreds of cross sections, each of which having hundreds of points, where if you screw up and delete the wrong point you can't undo it?  Only something that has never met an agency it couldn't grow, and doesn't know the meaning of the word "cutback".

Occupy Oregon Trail

What with all the archaic diseases floating around those hippie camps these days, it brought to mind that old classic, Oregon Trail:

and in that spirit

Not a Keytar, but...

Family Force 5 uses a Keywall. You can see it in there if you watch closely.



Though they also have "conventional" keytars:



An absolutely insane band--and the one that first proved to me that Christian Bands didn't have to sound like condensed yawns.

Incidentally, the Keywall (a.k.a. Family Force 5000) was made by David Crowder Band's drummer.  Which probably goes some way to tell you why I like David Crowder so much as well.
