Interrobang ( ‽. Random Bursts of Ambient Noise. Democracy: Too important to be left to the people. 28 February, 2012. There was a report in the newspaper recently on a bridge in Slovakia being named after Chuck Norris. Apparently local officials had put it to a popular vote, and (at the time of writing) 74% of people had voted to call it the Chuck Norris Bridge, outvoting a local historical figure by a huge margin.

As an added bonus the speaker switch includes two sets of inputs, and independent on/off switches for each of these per set of output speakers, meaning that we could pump separate sources into different combinations of the rooms, as required.

Interrobang ( ‽. Random Bursts of Ambient Noise. A Surge in My Sleep. 26 April, 2015. I think all of the employees in my department have one, and they’re always talking about it and taking long walks together, and it’s just so irritating. But then the GF bought herself a Fitbit Flex.

Well, I guess it was inevitable, but I finally earned myself another traffic ticket. This is almost 3 years after my last ticket, which is a personal record, so I guess I can’t complain.
