I told Elf that if I had an iPad, I would make it Star Trek-y.

Of course, it turns out someone made a very cool version of exactly what I wanted.

And you can make your Droid into a tricorder.

While I have neither an iPad nor a Droid and I don't really need them, I am insanely happy that they exist and that these apps exist for them.

Hyperbole and a Half

I have spent WAY too many of the past 24 hours reading Hyperbole and a Half. You probably already know this blog as the source of the "Alot" post. If you read just that post and stopped, you need to go back and read some more.

I'm here to tell you that the best post on that blog (so far; I am back to October 10, 2009), is the Fish Story. It is heartbreaking but funny and if you have images blocked, turn that crap OFF because you NEED to see the illustrations.

I nearly laughed/cried myself into an aneurysm when I read it the first time. It is one of the most horribly funny things I have ever read.

I'm not going to go into depth here, but it is scary how much I identify with this girl sometimes. I feel so validated.
