Easter Bullets
I thought maybe Twitter may have obviated my need for bullet posts, but I like writing them, so you may just have to keep putting up with them. It's lazy writing, but sometimes I have stuff to say and can't be bothered to compose paragraphs. Sorry.

Happy Easter!

A co-worker is one of the minds behind Zombie Jesus Day.

Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

I actually went to church this morning. The pews were pretty empty for the early, which was kind of sad, but apparently they were serving a free breakfast at the same time, which might have accounted for the lower attendance. There seemed to be a much more respectable number of people showing up for the second service.

They had a "Used with permission" notice of copyright license for bits of hymns printed in the bulletin. I was a little put out by this, mostly because at least one of the hymns in question was about 130 years old.

Easter chocolate count: 2 fund raising chocolate eggs from the church (it's traditional... they're very sweet), 4 truffles from The Village Chocolatier in Bloomfield and a bunch of low-grade foil wrapped eggs that I had to eat so my mother wouldn't.

The sacrifices I make...

No actual bunnies, tho.

Just finished watching the Doctor Who Easter Special, Planet of the Dead. Lots of fun. A bit silly. I enjoyed it.

On the way into Belleville, I took to listening Brotherhood of the Daleks , featuring a blue coated Sixth Doctor and [[wiki:Charley Pollard]]. In an interview on the disc, writer Alan Barnes describes the writing of the episode thus:
[[wiki:Terry Nation]], whenever he was going to do a new Dalek story, there'd always be some basic gimmick to the Daleks, where they'd have something new or had something taken away. I literally wrote down a list of mad ideas, one of which was they turn into communist, one of which was they're high on drugs, and one of which was they think they're [[wiki:Thals]], and I ended up doing all of them.
Indeed. I thought it was fantastic. :D

There's a series of Red Dwarf Specials. I stopped watching Red Dwarf sometime around season 7, but I'll give these a shot for old time's sake.

They came out with another firmware update for my [[wiki:Sansa Fuze]], adding directory browsing support. I bought one after they released a firmware update with [[wiki:Ogg Vorbis]] support. With those, it catches up with Rockbox in terms of functionality, and I don't have to feel bad about my Sansa e200s dying.
-
Now all I need is them to add a feature that shows me which podcasts I haven't listened to and it would be my ideal player.

I've been (so far indirectly) getting involved in Kitchener-Waterloo's nascent hackerspace. Actually, I think I'll save that for its own post...

I should probably start packing and head back to Waterloo soon.
