Sunburn.

Damn, I’m white. Or pink, now.

Went to the car show today. Exhibitor’s tag nets you the free-food VIP treatment, which is obviously superior to the $5 hot dog tent.

It was a reasonably productive weekend.

In other news, I’ve been looking at relatively inexpensive laptops. I say ‘relatively’ since my budget has slowly increased by about $250 from Asus EEE 2G levels. I don’t see the point in dropping three bills on something that won’t run Microsoft Office and has a barely usable keyboard. And when a really decent ‘netbook’ prices in well north of $600 (hp 2133, anyone?) I really begin to question the point of the entire concept. Give me something I can use, with a real keyboard and touchpad, and nice battery life.

So, the Dell D420 is looking pretty good right now. Throw in a hot coupon code and I’m game.

The History Channel is having a show on Nazism in the United States. It’s pretty interesting, and pretty shocking. Alan Berg, the Turner Diaries, et al. I had no idea about most of this shit. And it’s pretty frightening, enraging, the whole bit. Acutely unpleasant, as a general rule.

Work is work, and it is good. I was stuck in section 24 all last week. 35 is the next big one, and then we’re done.

I need to pick up some Jefferson Airplane. Janis Joplin would be nice too.
