@SexCpotatoes: Yeah, and here I thought I was holding on to a precious commodity with my invites. Now I've gotta find a new way to make friends. Sigh.

Now is the best time to check out Heavens-Above.com, as Space Shuttle Atlantis just launched on its way to the ISS, so for the next few nights you'll be able to see the ISS and Atlantis glide across the sky, getting closer and closer until docking on Wednesday morning! #nasa

Celestia is teh awesome. As opposed to Stellarium, you can't use Celestia to look up what is in your sky any given night because its not a star map, but it can be pretty useful to some astronomy. Celestia's moon transit and eclipse predictions are very accurate, whether it be an Earth/Moon eclipse, or any…

@d3c509b aka Steve: From what my girlfriend tells me, the vampire drives an unknown model of Volvo of in the original books. She went a little geeky when the C30s came out and I said I liked them. However, perhaps if she had given me the money instead of spending it on Twilight, I may have been able to afford one. #tw…

@helixed: Someone telling me what to do is actually exactly what I need! I especially like your comment about how even if I "lose those four years of experience... at least you wouldn't waste any more time and you'd be a little happier." A little happier would go a long way! And yes, I shouldn't feel bad if the…

While the post is aimed at more corporate-type leadership structure, I'd have to say my situation is slightly different in that I work for an inept boss at a company where I am the only employee.

@itsjareds: Yup, thanks! Updated to 9.10 and Firefox 3.5.x came right along with it. Though, I still wish I could've had it a long while ago and it didn't require a whole OS version upgrade in order to get the most recent web browser. #firefox

@itsjareds: Is Firefox 3.5 available on Ubuntu? Like, for realsies from the repositories and not that temporary portable version everyone was using when 3.5 first released but wasn't yet in the repositories. I'm an Ubunt-noob, in case that wasn't already obvious. #firefox

Can anyone recommend a decent whole-bean coffee to buy off the shelf at a grocery store? I usually get Intelligentsia delivered, but due to poor foresight I just ran out today and if I order it won't be delivered 'till Tuesday. I need something to fill the gap.

Wow, LH needs to stop stalking me, I just had a home inspection of the place we are going to be buying today and we did pretty much everything on this list. Well, actually the home inspector did all the work, and I just followed him around learning as much as I could about the place that will shortly be called my…

I was using [www.graphomatic.net] to track calories, sleeping habits and my car's MPG over time. I started more to satisfy my data-geek nature, but it is really interesting to treat other aspects of your life like one would finances with Mint or something.

I'm going to view houses with a real estate agent in 1.5 hours. Is it OK to bring a digital camera?

@Jason Fitzpatrick: If I had a bigger desk I guess I would try it, if not just to make it easier to access internal components like you and @D0rk said. That or I would like a side-mounted shelf like Ikea makes, but I'd need a much more heavy duty version. I've got a P182 which damn near weights 70lbs so I keep it on…

I'm curious: How many of you have their desktop tower sitting on the top of your desk instead of underneath it?

@Geakz: I ended up with "Life Is Long" from Everything That Happens Will Happen Today

Gee whiz, I never buy my music digitally on a track-by-track basis, and this business of having to choose only one track makes the decision almost impossible for me. Any suggestions?

@lucky_you: I suppose its all preference, but I hated the "in desk" monitors they had set up in our computer labs at school. Not only did it hurt our necks, but it also positioned the monitor's glossy screen just right so that they would reflect the glare from the overhead florescent light tubes making it nearly…

@sneakypoo: @nightsky: Well said, I came here to remark the same. Sundogs, mock suns, light pillars, etc all fall under the category of "parhelia" caused by clouds or other objects obstructing and distorting the sun's or moon's light rays in the sky.

@92BuickLeSabre: Ugh, yes. You've hit the nail on the head. I've got clients who constantly send emails with in bright pink Papyrus type. It makes me want to puke in my hat.

Impressive. Most impressive. Though, as a tall dude, I would be slamming my noggin into the angled ceiling every time I stood up from the desk, saw something exciting on the TV or, in general, by simply walking around the room at any given time.
