I drove through Duff yesterday looking at the sites. I’ll post the photos another day. On CBC radio’s Out Front, a person interviewed a deaf person before and then after their hearing surgery to give them good hearing for the first time in their life. It’s amazing what can be done using that kind of technology, and I hope it’s not long before most deaf people can hear using implants like that, and then blind people see using optical implants. The days of Geordie LaForge’s sight VISOR [Star Treck TNG] might not be too far off.
I ate out at Houston Pizza this evening with Ashley’s family for her birthday. I had the stir fry and there was so much it’ll feed me lunch tomorrow too, except that lunch is in Wood Mountain and already cooked, so I guess the leftovers will be breakfast instead.
“History of Violence” [7/10] and “After the Sunset” [8/10] were some crime movies on today and both were entertaining.
I looked aroud a bike shop today, and the cheapest speedometer and bike computer was $21. The fancy wireless model was $81, and there were hazard light sets which seemed interesting, and LED headlights which light a wide region but not as far as halogen said the sales person who rides at night in groups of people.

Is Duff a town?

Who is this Ashley? A girlfriend? If it is you do realize you will have to turn in your /. membership. Are you sure a girlfriend is worth that?

Darren, Ashley says, “No you don’t, you geek!”
She’s a member of Slashdot too you know.
And Peter, yes Duff is a town on Highway 10 between Melville and Fort Qu’Appelle.

Have you guys seen the new /. makeover? It’s made special just for April fools day. Here is a comment from SysKoll.
“I field tested the new design on my techie, smart wife, and she said “if this is how they expect to attract women, no wonder most of their readers are home alone jerking off”.”
Ponies! Cool!

OMG My Eyesssss! The Pink style sheet burned my retinas but it was worth it. I hope they remembered to set the Evil Bit before publishing that.
That’s pretty funny though. Slashdot for “girls” but it’s only for today.
