I’ve been working on a penguin layout for several weeks now and finally got a good scene combined with the right lighting.
March of the Penguins was the obvious inspiration.
Happy 2006!
Happy new year!!!

New FSM layouts
While working on a penguin-gram this morning I spent some time and put together a new layout for the Flying Spaghetti Monster hologram.

Sony BMG must never get another dime of your money
They certainly will not get any of mine for a long time.

Palm TX user review
A little over a week ago wifey and I broke down and bought two Palm TX’s as anniversary presents for ourselves to replace our aging Sony Clie T615’s. You know you’ve turned into an old married couple when you buy gadgets for your 16th anniversary. On the other hand I took her out on a day long date on the actual day so there’s still romance there :-).
I know that Palm spells the name of this new device Palm T|X but I and wifey much prefer just "Palm TX". It’s the Texas Palm. Unfortunately it’s not nearly as big feature-wise.
In general we both like them. There are some things we really like (built-in wifi, larger screen) and some we don’t. They’re all detailed below.

Playing with NVGs
I was able to borrow some night vision goggles from work and had fun playing in the lab and out in the yard
It’s really tempting to get a pair of these for use in the lab. I could reduce my safelight levels to practically zero
