WALNUT CREEK, California — Ken Larsen was laying cable on top of a five story building when he stepped backwards over the edge of the roof. During the head-first fall Larsen realized the cable he was still clutching was slowing his descent. After crashing through tree branches he landed feet-first on the ground — with only bruises and scrapes.

“They told me to go buy a lottery ticket,” Larsen said. “And I’m going to.”

Brent has a theory that “André” is actually Mr. Data. At least He hasn’t been compared to Weird Al Yankovic as I have (though I’ve been wearing my hair up recently).

There are eight new pictures up today on Sally’s Art

Davenet: “So I decided to never write another DaveNet, and guess what’s the first thing I have to do after doing that? I have to write a DaveNet saying this! Oooops.”

I heard this on Voyager tonight: computer “Warning: Warp core breach a lot sooner than you think.”…and then…”Warning: Last chance to be a hero, doctor. Get going.

I finally got the recycling done. And we bought groceries. Big day, huh?

Rhonda wanted to see this picture.

CNN.com: Weather – Search and rescue operations begin after deadly Texas tornadoes: “It’s just been blown apart,” Worley said. “You’ve got buildings with all their windows blown out. You’ve got curtains blowing in the wind. You’ve got insulation from ceilings all over the streets.”

(Not to worry- dad is OK in Dallas. I just talked to him.)

I’m back at home. More to do tonight, but I don’t need to elaborate. There’ll be news coming down the pipe soon enough.

I’m looking for art supplies online. Geez, eBay’s earch engine sucks.

I’m at the all-day Userland “offsite” meeting. We spent the morning going over stuff, and then came up with a few things for me to do over the next couple of days. There’s no shortage of things to do. Looks like I’ll be having lots of fun!
