It is entirely possible that I will not do a post until the close. I am that busy. So you'll have to talk amongst yourselves – sans avatars, I'm afraid, per my prior post. Good luck out there.

Semolina Pilchard
I think I'm done blogging for today. Years ago, I'd do one post in the afternoon. Now I usually bang out ten posts between 6 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. It seems to be a new routine of mine.
I'm sort of hopped up on Beatles right now, so you might as well enjoy this………..
Confutatis
I am spending a lot of time researching a really amazing new technology, so I've gone relatively quiet (e.g. no blog posts for almost an hour!) In the meantime, a bit of music to throw your way. An English translation of the Latin is beneath.
When the damned are confounded
and consigned to keen flames,
call me with the blessed.
I pray, suppliant and kneeling,
a heart as contrite as ashes;
take Thou my ending into Thy care.
Thanks, Mal
Getting the Beatles Rockstar game has put me in full-tilt Beatles mode, so I've been watching Let It Be for the first time in years. Here's a particularly good part featuring the last part of their rooftop concert. This is the one part of the film where they all seem really happy.
Beatles Rockband
I am hopelessly addicted to Beatles Rockband. This is the last thing I need – something which sucks my time away – but it’s just a blast.
I’ve been a huge Beatles fan all my life, and even though I’ve never played one of these Rockband games, I’ve quickly become fairly adept at it. (Ahem – I scored a 99% on vocals; thank you very much). Anyway, if you’re at all into the Beatles, you really should check it out. It’s a sheet cake of awesome.
