Only Frank Zappa can cure what ails ya.

I have 971 tracks by Mr. Zappa.

4.88 Gigabytes worth.

That’s a lot of healing, brotha.

Tonight: Billy the Mountain, Willie the Pimp, The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing, Montana (Whipping Floss)

Picked up a book from the library for the ride home: Stealing Jesus. Not bad, pretty thoughtful.

Jesus love you, even if you’re a chump. All y’all worrying about getting saved, chill out. Jesus loves you. That apocalyptic stuff is for the birds. Be excellent to each other, dude.

Okay, I have some work to do.

“This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.”

Remember back on July 30th where I said “yesterday I walked 4.3 miles, this according to Google Maps Pedometer. My feet HATE me today. And my sandals are now broken, both of them.”

These are they. And now they must be retired.

What the heck is a “Wellie”—it’s a Wellington boot, of course.

If you’re a foot fetishist, you may like this.

I just think the boots are amazingly diverse, and I can’t remember seeing anything like these in the US.

On vox.com, they use a special xml namespace for their custom attributes: xmlns:at=”http://www.sixapart.com/ns/at”>

Cool! but http://www.sixapart.com/ns/at appears to be missing.

Maybe that’s just a placeholder?

...that’s my new favorite sound effect.

Here are some of the files the jerks who want to run exploits look for. I see these in my 404 stats.

(This post is named for a scene in “The Blues Brothers.” Belushi’s “Joliet Jake” Blues’ tone when he sneers at the Illinois Nazis is exactly how I feel about sploggers, script kiddies, and other miscreants).

I quite like the concept of Galactus. Though I can’t say I ever read a story with him I really liked. Perhaps the Moebius Silver Surfer story.

Galactus, sometimes called the Devourer of Worlds or Eater of Planets, is a fictional comic book super villain, a cosmic entity within Marvel Comics’ universe.
