As
Stanford on iTunes offers a modest spread of lectures and associated podcasts from Stanford University, free of charge, with no registration required. Well worth checking out; eg, "Rethinking the Ethical Implications of Animal Cognition" in the Faculty Lectures area. The files have no DRM, and are available in all iTMSeses worldwide.
On a mailing list, someone mistyped a well-known wireless comms standard, leading to a request for a "Blue tooty cell phone". This amuses me much more than it probably should. ^_^
And, for a limited time, here's the complete At Last The 1948 Show Album (11.1MB), for anyone interested in proto-Python comedy.
Dammit. I've got the line "I've got a ferret sticking up my nose" on endless loop in my mind.
Quote for the day: "That'd be dangerous. Many, many LJers have no idea what to do with an apostrophe. They could hurt themselves with the pointy end."

Dinner was another happy accident. ^_^ I noticed the fridge was now home to two small packs of (cooked, alas) tiger prawns, which suggested a stir fry to me. Lo, a pack of frozen chicken chow mein was in the freezer, and swiftly into a hot wok. While that was getting heated up, I pondered what would bring the dish to life, and opted for oyster sauce and sriracha, plus a few bits of baby corn and asparagus (crunchy vegetables yay!). Plenty of tossing and a little garlic powder later, the Quest for Dinner was complete, and quite tasty, even if I do say so myself. ^_^ (Enough so that the rest went missing shortly after :)
