Happy Birthday, Elizabeth II!

Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, turns 80 years old today. May she have many more years reigning over her loyal subjects, if for no other reason than I really don't want to think about the expense of replacing her image with that of Charles on the coins, postage stamps, official portraits, etc..

I'll have a sundae at lunchtime to celebrate.

Stupid Car Meme

Challenger
You are the space shuttle formerly known as Challenger.
Born in heady days of can-do engineering and damn-the-budget planning, you were pretty neat in theory.  Still, you & your siblings quickly swallowed up all the resources in your path while you were under development.  While you had a few good rounds in your youth, you were ultimately behind in technology, a drain on the budget and ended your career in a disastrous if somewhat colourful display of fireworks.  You are doomed to be a metaphor for a number of not very nice things about human nature.

"Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

A Career Revelation

Earlier this evening, I realized that my dream job isn't to be a Unix administrator or tech project manager. Rather, my dream job is to be a writer for The Onion.

Ah, the possibilities...
