Ha ha, awesome.

*Fifteen people are trapped aboard a ship that's going to sink in exactly 20 minutes. Their only chance for survival is the five-person life raft stowed on their vessel. To make matters worse, the waters around the ship are teeming with man-eating sharks, so swiming to safety is out of the question.
A round-trip to the nearest island and back to the boat takes nine minutes on the raft. How many people will live to see dry land...
please answer that
Kit:
I wonder if Frank made it.
jm:
wow its amazing they should exicute order 66 with a lot of clones XD
Phil:
Awesome find. Its always interesting to find older pictures of the way something will work in the future, and then compare it to what actually ended up being the case.

Wow, that wasn't a question I ever expected my mom to ask. Must be a completely, totally different Katya.
Still a great interview. I usually don't give Beefeater much of a chance, but 24 actually sounds nonboring.
twitter.com/robmarais:
What a delightful read on what goes into my next favorite gin. Classic Beefeater has been my mixing gin for eons. I'm intrigued by 24, all the more so by learning of Payne's care and craft in creating it.
sushiesque:
Not that I noticed. But I was getting over a hideous cold and not particularly interested in the beverages.
quinciana:
Katya's Mom just wants to know whether this is the blogger who would know whether gin was served at Fuzzy's wedding in Maine.
Bryana Dunn:
Every doodad is a doohickey. Half of all thingamajigs are doohickeys. Half of all doohickeys are doodads. There are 30 thingamajigs and 20 doodads. No thingamajig is a doodad. How many doohickeys are neither doodads nor thingamajigs?
infinityisalie:
Even as an insufferable teetotaler, I found this a wonderful read.

Beefeater:
Hanky Panky is an amazing cocktail. One of my personal favourites. My recipe of choice looks something like this.
2 PARTS Beefeater London Dry Gin
2 PARTS Italian vermouth
2 DASH Fernet Branca
SHAKE All ingredients over ice
STRAIN Into a chilled cocktail glass
SQUEEZE A freshly cut orange peel on top
Awesome Video Tutorial on the cocktail: www.beefeatergin.com/mixology/video.php?video =Hanky%20Panky

You should know that this blog is one of the first sites to come up in a search for the terms, "harvard square" and "crazy people" (I was seeking a couple specific crazies). While I may not have found what I was looking for, I am digging your blog.
sarah:
this is gay
1minutefilmreview:
Wow!
sushiesque:
Oh, you're quite right. I did not read the fine, italic print.
Icarus does not give me great confidence in their products.

i'm pretty sure that the propellant is icarus.
Pippa:
A couple are driving home in the dark when the car breaks down, the husband decided to walk to a petrol station for help that was a few miles back, so he locked all the doors,windows and boot. On his return there was a stranger in the car and his wife was dead,there was no damage to the car at all.what happened?????
James Price:
Yeah I found this out the hard way. The people who work at the Library of Congress were none too nice about setting me straight. Most of the people that work there do not want to be bothered, I think. The people that registered me and got me my car (of which there were three) were super nice. But everyone else is either mean or indifferent. I shouldn't have even gotten the reader ID (which you supposedly need to even read anything at the LOC) because I've yet to be stopped and asked for it, even at the "researcher only" entrance! Weak.
semele:
Dear sushiesque - is there any way I can contact you offsite to ask for permission to use one of your photographs?
You can reach me at mirlac@yahoo.com
Thanks so much, and it's a terrific blog.
Kathleen:
Still attracting the crazies, huh? It's nice to know some things never change.

Clearly you are living a double life.
Jamie:
A man and woman go before a preacher in Pennsylvania to be married, but the preacher says,"I can't marry you two." Why?
sushiesque:
perhaps we could meet up there for a (possibly very cold) picnic?
1. no; I was with my parents, and they had their own agenda.
2. I couldn't find it, but I didn't look too hard. I do hope it has not been felled.
bonus: there was an unusual quantity of big green snails clinging to little rocks in freakish clumps.
Gabriel Mckee:
Awww, jealous-- I love Harkness. I rather want to go back there sometime soon. Two questions:
1. Did you go to Sarge's? I rather want to go back there, too. (It's where I bought my first Ace Doubles!)
2. Did you see the tree with the boob?
Best toy ever! The whole world would be a paint-by-numbers game!

Holy crap! They made up the awesomely-redundant word "spectro-colorimeter".

Does this mean we now have to deal with nerds who 'already could tell what pantone color things are'?

oh that is SO cool! Want, want, want!
Thoughts...
* For 250 bucks, that sucker better come with a belt clip.
* It doesn't say what type of light it uses internally as an illuminant. D50? D65?
* Where can I download a PDF version of the user's manual? Ah, found it. Thank you, Google! http://www.pantone.com/products/products.asp?idSubArea=0&idArea=8&idProduct=373&idArticleType_Products=0
* WTF is "DID YOU MISS ME?" doing on the LCD panel? That's the lamest "replay" button I've ever seen in my entire life.
* How did Bruce Campbell get into that Flash animation?

I'm teetering on buying one of these...somebody stop me before I do... Amazon is selling them for $228 shipped.
I'm thinking it could be a great complement to a Gretag-MacBeth Eye-One Photo (which I actually need).
I think I've only found one actual review of the Color Cue™ so far. One thing I'm a bit wary about is that the measurement aperture is 14mm. Wicked cool that it can display LAB color values, though.
I'm not sure how much I'd actually *use* the Color Cue™ for real work, but since it's so portable, I think I'd use it a lot as a learning tool.

Aha. D65. The manual (downloadable PDF) says it assumes D65 lighting. Cool.
Posted by: Todd Lehman | 06 June 2004 at 04:13 AM
I've added it to my Amazon wishlist. time to dig out the webcam...

You should add the Low boxset to your list, Christine.
