So, Flickr has this thing called "magic view", where they automatically arrange your photos by various topics. Things like "animals:cats", or "landscapes".

Not surprisingly, my microscope photos have sent this analysis off the deep end. This one amused me with the topic "food:other":

this_is_not_food.jpg

Let's see - that's a hole in a leaf, an oak flower, a weird aphid, algae with bell animalcules, tick mouth parts, an insect pupa, a planarian, bell pepper cells, and pumpkin cells.

2/9 could only remotely be considered food.

No, it's the planarian and the aphids, obviously.

I ordered a new USB charger to use in my car, and it came today. The user's manual included these stern warmings (sic):
  • Don't put them in a baby can hit
  • Don't to remove the product or maintenance
  • Don't place the product on the damp air or water, keep it dry
  • Do not place the product in the environment of high temperature or extreme environments

I have no baby to put it in, so I'm safe there. I guess once I insert it into my cigarette lighter port, I can never take it out again. Fortunately, my car's roof doesn't leak, and I have installed no misting apparatus. My car does, however, get pretty damn warm inside during the summer. (And THAT warming was so important that they ditched the contraction!)

So you shouldn't place the product in the environment of extreme environments, but you also may not remove it. I guess you're screwed.

I'm still imagining what a baby can hit is like. I bet if you're to the point of somehow huffing babies out of a can, no amount of stern warmings are going to deter you.

Bill Clinton pens first thriller novel with James Patterson - BBC News

Given that James Patterson doesn't actually pen his own novels, I call "bullshit".

I just got an invite to beta test THE FILMSTRUCK ROKU APP.

The last time I had looked it up to see when that was coming out was, like, two hours prior to getting the invite.
