It's been a fun few days of seeing people, partying and seeing more people. James had his annual cookout early, as he's running off to hike the Appalachian Trail soon. It's always good to see friends/acquaintances that I haven't in a long while. It's so easy to stay in touch these days, yet so easy to lose touch.

As often happens with parties, I met a bunch of nifty new people and got to know a few others a bit better. *waves at paper crystals and metoikos* This summer should prove to be interesting in the sole fact that there're more people I know who will be around in some manner.

I have never before seen a full-spectrum radio jammer, but apparently such a device is employed in various tunnels on the way to Logan Airport. No matter what radio station you're listening to when you go into the tunnel, you end up hearing the transit authority's pre-recorded messages. I'm still debating whether or not it's a good thing.

There are people whose job it is to wear loud, heavy equipment and blow tree junk around. I can't really tell where they're blowing it, but it appears to at least be a pile. This is what we need robots for - so these people can find slightly more meaningful jobs. Which would you rather see as a job title: "Tree Shit Blower" or "Robot Maintenance Crew"?

Before you ask, yes: I am a part of their plan for domination. You should join too, lest you be left to Zion. err, the boring robot-less world. You know you wanna.
