What has 8 arms and 8 legs?
8 pirates.
This is my favorite craigslist personal ad ever. Especially when you keep in mind that I wrote it.
Holy Frick on a Stick (alternate title: ¿Donde esta la biblioteca?)
Okay, so I go to Nicaragua in a week. Holy shit. Reading up on it, I’m not especially concerned. Sure, their gorverrment will once again be run by Daniel Ortega (albeit in a Democractic fashion – we hope). But they have a fucking volcano everywhere you look, and jungle. In particular, there’s an island in the middle of this lake. An enormous lake, and the island (called Omatepe) is comprised of not one, but two volcanoes. Holy crap. Reading the US State Department’s website about Nicaragua, this is the most alarming part of the nation’s description:
In particular, there have been instances of hikers perishing or getting lost on the volcanoes at Ometepe Island. While they may look like easy climbs, the terrain is treacherous and heavily overgrown.
Awesome. I suppose I should just watch out for polar bears, eerie black smoke, and the others.
Acrobat Reader installation acrosucks
Have you ever downloaded acrobat reader from adobe’s site? I just did. There’s a very small dmg file that comes in, and launches an installer. So then you click install, and it opens a downloader program to download from Adobe’s website. Next, once it’s done (22 MB), it opens another disk image thing, and then there’s the installer. It’s a little thing I like to call “8 steps to actually accomplish 2 steps.”
