just in off the wires....terrorists stopped in UK
UK Police say they have stopped 21 suspects who were going to blow up a plane from the UK to the US. Effective immediately at Heathrow, people cannot take beverages, hand lotions, or USB thumb drives onto an airplane. What were these suicide bombers going to do? Get drunk, lather up, and throw USB sticks at everyone? More news after work. In the meanwhile check out Google News.
stream of consciousness...
It really annoys me when I can’t remember what I wasn to post. Blogging has been one of the casualties of working a steady eight hour job. While I’m at work I always thing of all these great ideas of thigns I want to blog, but then when I finally get home, I either have forgotten what I wanted to talk about or I just don’t feel like it anymore. The second reason seems to be just as prevalent as the first - sometimes I would have put an idea on paper, but after mulling about it all day long, I just don’t feel like thinking about it anymore. Frankly, as I write this, I feel I’ve written this paragraph, or one similar to it, at least once before. I guess that means this is a true and recurring problem which really bothers me.
rendering problems
there are some rendering problems with my blog right now and it is putting the sidebar - usually on the right side here, all the way at the bottom - very annoying. Just wanted to let you know where it is.
Cosplay
Cosplay, for the uninitiated, is dressing up as a fictional character; in the US it tends to specifically mean dressing up as anime or video game characters. Anime Conventions are known for the fans cosplaying and coming up with elaborate costumes which can sometimes take months to develop. I missed Otakon (Baltimore Anime Convention) for the second year in a row. I know it’s my fault for no longer having my finger on the pulse of anime culture in the US, but I was hoping to catch it this year to get some great cosplay pics. Instead I had to just linger in the lobby of the convention center and take some snaps. I took about ten shots and here are two of my better ones.
