Geekery bleeds into the real world:

1. Patient bleeds dark green blood - If any of y'all are on sumatriptan for migraines, be aware that 200 mg a day can temporarily turn you into an apparent Vulcan.

2. Bear robot to rescue wounded troops- It's not so much that the military is paying for a robot to be developed that'll pick up wounded soldiers. It's not that it's got a teddy-bear shaped head, either. Frankly, I'd sooner have a teddy-bear shaped head be the last thing I saw before I blacked out from blood loss than a humaniform one, because until we get the hang of facial expressions on machines absolutely right, any human face on such a 'bot is going to look like The Burger King.

It's that the (BEAR Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot) is being developed by VECNA. Srsly. Wai.

Vecna!!!!

3. And then there is the newly available Yoggie Gatekeeper Pro. Neat little hardware firewall that acts as a secured gateway to your network, which is nice, right up until you remember the true nature of the Key and the Gate...

Oh well, I suppose it's better than naming your network gateway appliance after Dana Barrett.

Have seen Pirates.

I feel better now. Also, I need the soundtrack.
