A week or two ago I discovered a new podcast.  It is of people telling stories on stage.  Most are really good, and they're just normal stories not science or skepticism or extreme nerdism so everyone should be able to enjoy them.  It's call The Moth and it's in my widget way down in the right side bar somewhere.  Also, here.

Also, I thought of an invention today.  I'm sure someone has invented it before, but it should really be a common item.  The invention is a chair with a sensor that can tell if you are sitting in it.  The chair is linking wirelessly to the computer.  Using the data from the sensor, applications can determine your status as away or not.  When you get up and leave it will automatically change your status on e-mail, instant messaging... possibly even a land line phone at an office.  Seems simple enough.

Yesterday at work they bought us lunch and a cake, us being John (the other remaining intern) and I.  His last day is tomorrow, mine is Wednesday.  It was one of those giant chocolate Costco cakes.  It was good.  It was eaten entirely.  They also all signed a card for me and talked about how great my work is and how young we are.  :)

k, walk now.
