While checking on the status of my bedsheets, I noticed that the dryer has set up a standing wave in the bottle of windex sitting atop it. If I didn’t need to go to bed, I’d try to compute the wavelength and find out what is the frequency of the vibration my dryer generates.
If you haven’t noticed, I am, in fact, a dork.
My name is Matthew Xavier. I live in Minnesota, read books, and write software (for fun and profit).
Many years ago at a friend's high school graduation, I spent an hour at a table with my brother and our band director. We were strange people. I ate one mint for half an hour, our band director made faces in his salad dressing, and my brother melted things in the decorative candle.
One of the things my brother melted was a plastic fork. He carefully heated it only just enough that the tips of the tines curled neatly into little coils. We examined it and decided that surely it was no longer good for stabbing people...or food. Thus was born the original safety fork: harmless, but useless.

A dork would have stayed up to calculate the frequency. Maybe egghead would be the term, or is that out of the vernacular?
re previous post: I voted for Hutchenson. Many of my colleagues at the seminar on Monday and Tuesday would have but they wanted to more effectively vote against Pawlenty. their choice.

You do know there was an election that Tuesday, right?
I tend to read posts in groups, so apologies for this old comment, but after reading how you were hit by a car I must comment that I hate people who get angry at bicycles for using the road. That is, after all, where bicycles are supposed to be ridden.
Hope all is well.
