Random stuff that has come my way...

Some interesting news:

• Bodily timekeeping. This always interests me as mine seems to be finely set - I wake up one minute before my alarm regardless of what I've set it to, and I can usually tell what time it is - but I'm thrown out of whack in different time zones and react badly to time travel across many zones. The TARDIS must have some sort of self-correcting mechanism.
  
  
• Nice to know I'm not the only language-obsessive around. Had a good English-usage talk today with Lil and maaseru, and one a few days ago with lunacy_gal. Everyone has a different English misusage pet peeve - mine is decimate, woefully abused in American comics. But there are others.
  
  
• Logo is going to rule the world. I kid you not. The Antikythera Mechanism is amazing enough. These guys make it look simple.
  
  
• So there really are superheroes in the United States. I suppose it was only a matter of time. Next there'll be a Superhero Registration Act and S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarriers in the sky. Fiction is reality waiting to happen.
  
  
• I didn't know there was a zoo in Edinburgh. Now I want to go back to Scotland. Well, I wanted to go to Scotland again anyway - this is yet another reason.
  
  
• Scientific oddness.

New Year's Resolutions for 2011 Revisited...

On January 1 I wrote my New Year's Resolutions. How well have I kept them?

...Not as well as I'd hoped.

I think I've done really well with the exercising (every day, and increasing); the dental floss; knitting; not so well on some of the other issues I have to work on. Like getting a job.

Still... could be worse.
