Overheard after an ad for Jobs. A kid asks, “What’s IBM?”

I want to know who broke that streak.

The Mutant Three-Eyed Fish of San Pedro
On the side of the road between Angel’s Gate Park and Point Fermin Park. A little ways downhill there was a one-eyed octopus.
Originally posted to Instagram with a slightly different photo taken on my phone, filtered to disguise the fact that the phone camera just wasn’t very good.
Shuttle Frequency
I’d always wondered about the frequency of these shuttles.
Apple: Supported After All
The other night I had to take the MacBook into the Apple store to get it checked out after a toddler-related spill. I got there for my appointment and waited…and waited…and waited….
Killing time with my Android phone felt a bit weird. If I hadn’t needed to stay close to the Genius Bar I could have at least browsed the gadgets and played with an iPad or a newer laptop with a Retina display, or something. There’s only so long you can spend looking at boxes of headphones and cases for devices you don’t own. I briefly considered reading the new Flash comic book I’d picked up earlier in the day, but thought to myself, “Nah, I bet this isn’t supported here.”
Then I saw this on the wall:
Well then, I guess it’s supported after all!
Enforced by Laser (Flat Version)
I finally got around to making a flat image of the Enforced By Laser sign I spotted a few weeks ago.
And yeah, I know they’re talking about measuring speed with the laser…but it certainly sounds like something out of a futuristic (or alien invasion) movie with a car chase.
