A tech list is discussing EAGAIN errors, and I keep misreading it as EGEANIN.

Errand Observations
The Spectrum food court has ripped out the planters. I guess they realized they needed the floor space after they chopped off one end.
It’s Halloween, so Target has the Christmas decorations up!
All it Needs is an iPod

Making Sense of Macho Watch Spam
I’ve been seeing spam with subjects including, “Every macho should have a cool watch” and “Look like real macho with that trendy watch!” I’ve also been seeing spam saying things like, “Don’t miss your chance to become a real macho and by that we mean increasing your male dimensions.” At first it was funny that two spam campaigns were using the promise of machismo to hawk completely different products for completely different purposes.
Then I thought: what if they’re not different purposes. What if they’re saying that once you’ve “increased your dimensions,” you’ll be able to wear another watch? 😯

Squee!
Apparently, someone’s managed to bottle and sell it. You can now buy Squee! in a tube. 😉
