Grab bag

In my late adolescence I acquired this rather repulsive but endearing habit (if one can find oneself endearing): when cooking I would collect the various bits of vegetable debris in a plastic bag, spit in it (sometimes add a little hair), tie the bag, toss it in the trash, and say to myself, in a billion years, that'll be something.

Paper or plastic

Anyway, according to the BBC, the One Laptop per Child Project may allow the general public to buy their own XO, but only if you sponsor a second for the developing world.

Everybody's talking about the new iPhone.

Divvying up household chores is such a pain. What about having a simple rule: if you see the other person cleaning, you clean too. No nagging. No lists. No "let me do that for you later" BS. And, of course, you could be exempt if you were doing something else to maintain the house, like fixing the computer that is also the television, the stereo, and the DVD player. Of course, if both people are slobs, this rule might not work. Wait. Nevermind, it would work.

And in a billion years you might have something.
