Lyle Lovett- If I Had A Boat
If I were Roy Rogers
I’d sure enough be single
I couldn’t bring myself to marrying old Dale
It’d just be me and trigger
We’d go riding through them movies
Then we’d buy a boat and on the sea we’d sail
The mystery masked man was smart He got himself a Tonto ‘Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free But Tonto he was smarter And one day said “Kemosabe Kiss my ass I bought a boat I’m going out to sea!”

Seriously, though: that bottom right view - “Street View” turn-by-turn directions? Amazing.
And for free? On your phone?
Pack your bags, Garmin and Tom-tom: your shit is officially done for.Unfortunately, the “free” thing may not necessarily be the case if Verizon is the carrier. They will find some day to disable the GPS built into the phone and charge you $15/mo to re-enable it and then you’ll have to use their over-branded version of the software, “Verizon Google Maps Verizon Street Verizon View Verizon VZW BITCHES HOW DO YOU LIKE US NOW”.
Abso-FUCKING-lutely. I’ll be incredibly surprised if they don’t royally fuck this up.
Supposedly VZW isn’t fucking around with the Droid at all, so the navigation should be intact and free. Hopefully.

Oh man, yes.
I once treated a deaf patient who was at the Campus Safety office after having made comments about wanting to hurt himself. A sign language interpreter was there as I walked in and introduced myself. Shortly the patient got agitated and started to walk out, giving me the finger. The interpreter dutifully translated it as “fuck you”, and all I could think was: my sign is bad, but even I know that one…

This is a semi-fancy piece of paper that says that a much fancier piece of paper is owed to me and will come eventually. In other words, I’m done. I was joking after my defense that it was all over except for the paperwork. Now that’s over too.
If anyone needs me I’ll be sleeping like a rock for the next week or so.
The most important thing I learned in graduate school is "Pick your battles"
I think most people learn this much sooner, but I suppose it’s better to learn it late than never at all…

(via inthefade)
I’m betting the school in CA is kick-ass, but I’m an alumnus of that school in Rochester, and new both film majors and ASL interpreting majors (and worked in the dean’s office of the deaf college at the school, too), and both of those programs really are awesome. Plus, if she likes hockey the team is pretty amazing, too.
2 weeks ago (Comments)Would you kindly allow me a "Kids these days" moment?
I had to go to the mall today. I dislike going to the mall, but when you need to buy something you kind of have to go to where they sell that thing.
So on my way out I passed a Sprint store, and seeing as how I loooooove gadgets, I thought I’d stop in and see the new HTC Hero. Browsing the smartphones were a mom and two kids, about 11 and about 9. The 11 year old was looking at the Hero, but mom was trying to push him to the less expensive Blackberry. The 9 year old said “Can I pleeeease get the iPhone?”, and the mom said yes, he could have an iPhone.
So my question is, when did it become commonplace/normal/socially acceptable for kids to have these crazy expensive, crazy powerful cell phones? When I was a kid I wasn’t even allowed to have expensive pants, because you could be damn sure I’d rip the knees out (and I was by no means a terribly active child…). And I can see an iPhone, because of the games, but what is a kid doing with a Blackberry or an Android phone? Why do they even want one?

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING DOG.
Because Tumblr’s dashboard STILL doesn’t show images in posts, you’ll have to click through to see this one:
This is Conor, when he was about 8 months old. He’s bigger now.
