Mixed Signals

This is why we can't have nice things:


One of the many reasons I ditched AT&T for a prepaid carrier. My monthly wireless bill dropped from $162 to $110, then to $90, and right now it is at $75. This is while I am still on a blackberry, and with Ivette still on a smartphone (LG Touch), with unlimited data and messaging, and our minute allowance is still higher than what AT&T was giving us. Oh, yeah, and the reception is better.

On sleep deprivation and Incan Monkey Gods

From: Dilbert comic strip for 08/03/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. I was trying to show this strip to a coworker who is dangerously toying with the harsh mistress that is Insomnia. What shocked me is how quickly I was able to look up the strip, which was published when he was just 11 years old, and two weeks before my just-out-of-college ass shipped out to US Army Basic Training.

The Black Hole

If this was a minigolf hole, you can't reach B from A. Ever. If this was a room lined with mirrors, and you lit a candle at point A, you can't see it from B, not even reflected.  Update: I guess I didn't explain this all the way through. You can't reach B from A with just one stroke, there's no direct line between them, and there is no way to bounce the ball (assuming perfect conditions). Thanks to Ben for pointing this obvious error.
