This comic strip of Jurassic Trek makes fun of the (time honored?) trope of killing off the red shirt ;-) (original archive here)

This from a recent gamercat comic strip.  Soon I guess we'll all be buying Christmas gifts in the summer ;-)

So... this week Apple announced the iPhone 7, and due to their "courageous" stance (barf!  seriously Phil! Barf!) they removed the headphone jack.  Not courage at all - just making one more thing obsolete, or so you hope.  Now, granted, in my day to day use of my phone I use my motorola S305 bluetooth headphones, so I personally won't be missing the jack (unless I am flying and

Κάπου περίπου τέτοιον καιρό, πριν αρκετά χρόνια (20;) άρχιζα την δευτέρα λυκείου, ή 11η τάξη στην Αμερική. ένα από τα προαιρετικά μου μαθήματα ήταν ένα μάθημα που λεγόταν «Ανατομία και Φυσιολογία». Το μάθημα αυτό, απ ότι κατάλαβα

I think I'll be staying with Russia for the next few weeks (maybe September is charts-in-Russian month ;-) ), both because I can actually understand the language a bit, and I like their pop music. Russia Твои Глаза by Лобода Verdict: The title of the song translates to 'your eyes'.  The video sounds as good as one would expect of a live recording.  A better
