Fairly often, I have a link or some other random short thing I want to share, but don’t feel like it’s worthy of a whole post. Some of the time, these get collected into bigger posts, but mostly they just get forgotten. Jason was talking about Twitter and Jaiku recently, and something like that seemed like almost the perfect solution. The main problem with them is I don’t like giving up control over to a third party when I can easily run whatever the hell I want on my own server.

I finally got around to doing this, adding a microblogging category. For anyone reading with an RSS reader (probably most of you), these posts will just show up like normal posts. Looking at them on the actual website, though, they’ll just be a short one liner, with no title or date, and little wasted space. This way they don’t feel like they should be more than a sentence or two. The implementation was pretty much copied from PhotoMatt’s Asides, with some changes to the display style.

Hopefully, this will at least get me posting more often, even if it’s just short, useless crap. Better than the long useless crap that’s usually here, I guess.

In one test, TSA inspectors hid the components of a fake bomb in carry-on luggage that also contained a bottle of water. Passengers are prohibited from carrying containers holding more than three ounces of liquids, gels or aerosols through airport checkpoints.

The screeners at Albany International confiscated the water bottle but missed the bomb.

Tonight’s the MLB All-Star game. I don’t particularly care much about it, but I’m sure I’ll watch it at Zodo’s tonight, just like I did last year. Last year, though, I did sort of have an interest in it. I was actually rooting for the AL to win (which they did). That made the first game in the NL park on Brad‘s birthday, and if not for the damn Cardinals, he would’ve had a surprise birthday trip to the World Series. Damn Yadier Molina. I’m not still bitter. Really.

Tonight, I don’t care nearly as much. The Mets should make the playoffs, but don’t look nearly as dominant as last year. Or even as earlier this year. Plus, the surprise just wouldn’t be there this year, so it doesn’t matter that much. I suppose I have to root for the NL, because they play real baseball. Hopefully, at the very least, this year the game will be competitive. Maybe the NL can win for a change.
