The Caves of Steel

2008-08-16

These modern corporate campuses are like self-contained cities -- restaurants, recreation, and work space all connected by miles of air conditioned corridors. It wouldn't be hard to get lost in the maze.

It was awful nice of them to hold the world science fiction convention ten blocks from my apartment.

The convention center may need to be rebooted.

They had to send a truck out to uninstall QuickTime.

Median barriers

More states need these wire rope median barriers on freeways to help stop drunk and/or sleeping drivers from crossing the median into oncoming traffic. These barriers were in Oklahoma.

Big Ape

June 17, 2008 20:35:16

Apparently this big ape has been in the Wynkoop forever, but I never noticed it until the other day when my friends asked me to meet them by the big ape. "You want me to meet you WHERE?!?!"

So, I was walking along the street one day, and I came across this sign in the first picture indicating the sidewalk was closed, and instructing pedestrians to cross over to the other sidewalk. I can see the good sense in this, so I oblige and walk over to the other side of the street where I see the sign in the second and third pictures indicating that I should... HEY! Wait a second!!!

They said it couldn't be done, but with sheer force of will I actually managed to clean the office. It turns out there was carpet underneath all that stuff. Who could have known?

When sprinklers attack...

May 23, 2008 08:10:59

You never know when improperly adjusted sprinklers are going to be hiding just off the sidewalk, ready to taunt and harass the pedestrian commuters of our fair city.

Capitol Defense!

April 24, 2008 06:24:38

I saw these Air Force people unloading something that looks like a sailplane out in front of the capitol building, today. I, for one, can sleep better at night knowing that our capitol is being guarded by a heavier-than-air vehicle without a motor. :)
