The alt-text is not that snarky description I put for this upload (click and see), but an obscure reference: "If this were SMBC, the alt-text drawing thingy would be a giraffe hooker fluttering her eyelashes." Oh well. I was sorta close. Sorta.

SMBC stands for Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, and it's not even listed among "Comics I (meaning Randall Munroe) Enjoy"

What's your favorite Michael Jackson song? Bonus points if you share the video.

Ooh, Daisy, you do seem to be about the bonus points lately, hmm? ;-)

This is the title track of the 1979 album Off The Wall:

Off The Wall

Incidentally, Jackson did not compose this tune (credit belongs to Rod Temperton), although he did write other songs on the album. There is no official promotional video for this tune either, although other songs on the album (Rock With You and Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough) have videos.

The Introverts Strike Back

How well do you think you know yourself? How well do others think they know you? Which is more important?
Submitted by SearchingForThatOnePerson.

When I can remember everything of the life before, then I figure I'll know myself very well.
I honestly have no idea. My wife (Cimmorene) knows me pretty well, though.
See #1. Know thyself, y'know?

More air time.

Got a compliment today on the EO Atom kite :) The fishing rod reel I use for it lost the trigger catch (it broke off) but it's still perfectly useable. Had some great practice time on the powerkite.

Princess was out with me and was a big help. She was mostly playing in the dust and dirt, as scruffy little gamin girls do.

What do you tend to worry about in the middle of the night?

Anything and everything. Nighttime is one of the few times that the world shuts up enough that I can brood and mull things over.

And yes, it's not terribly conducive to sleep.

Wherever, Whenever Stayin' a Slave

Mashup by Fader Gladiator. The mashup has no official title that I know of-- just made one up in the usual fashion. This wasn't available embeddable for some time but now it's popping up other places on YouTube. Hope this doesn't mean all of them will be removed eventually.
