I've got a bad feeling about this...

Geek, Star Wars fan, unrealized potential. In a nutshell.

Persecution

So I'm a little frustrated. My IT guy at work has basically told me I can't use the Dvorak keyboard layout anymore.  Never mind that I've been using it for the last 2 years here - Now it's not allowed. Even though it's supported by both OS-X and XP, no more.
 
No reason. It seems extremely arbitrary.  This isn't a decision made for security reasons, its being made to exert power. Small-minded, petty thinking modo.

Never Again!

Big John's Subs. Assorted with lettuce & tomato, heated. Thick, tasty slices of some kind of summer sausage or pepperoni, dripping with a mayonnaise-based sub sauce.
 
Ow. Ow. Ew.
 
Let's just say it puts the ASS in assorted.

Idle musings

So I was musing the other day about how body armour is used by the police overtop of their uniforms. How bulky it is. I started to wonder about when we're going to see composite armour come into more regular use. Then what should come across my desk but a poster for composite armour research. Funny.

Then I got to thinking about how the armour will eventually become the uniform. Stormtrooper armour is on its way. Pretty cool, huh?
