- Monkeys kill Delhi deputy mayor.
SS Bajwa suffered serious head injuries when he fell from the first-floor terrace of his home on Saturday morning trying to fight off the monkeys. ... One approach [to the city's monkey troubles] has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.
I see no possible problems with that.

- Lemonodor has a roundup of differing accounts on what happened in South Africa recently -- what's clear is that something went wrong with a mostly-autonomous antiaircraft gun and it killed nine people and injured over a dozen more. Some accounts say that it was shooting wildly for a long time, and others say that it took less than a second.

Look, we can't make a stable web browser... what do you expect when you give really big firearms to software?

Today was for going to the park and throwing frisbees with friendly hangin'-out-in-the-park people :)

Also! I can pretty much ride the unicycle now -- although apparently not when Martin and Lauryn are looking? When I get a good start, I can go pretty smoothly for quite a ways. Little kids are way into it, and everybody else seems to be pretty amused.

I was inspired, yesterday, when we went to StreetStage Atlanta and saw the magicians and jugglers and breakdancers... the youngest member of the family-of-jugglers act recommended practicing on a tennis court or a track. He (at 16) can simultaneously be up on a unicycle, twirling a hula hoop, and juggling! He and his mother and father can all pass clubs while riding unicycles and wobbly board-on-cylinders!

Also also: Martinovich and I (mostly Martin) have started work on a Z-Machine interpreter. Y'know, so you'll be able to play Zork or Anchorhead or whatever you want... only on the web. Our tagline so far has been "like youtube... but for interactive fiction."
