| ColonelPanic001 | too many books | 14:27 |
| cmaloney | Too many books | 14:46 |
| cmaloney | ColonelPanic001: https://plus.google.com/+thereadingroom/posts/1g9PkR81KJh | 14:46 |
| jrwren | yes, 21 library books :) | 14:46 |
| cmaloney | what does that even mean? | 14:47 |
| cmaloney | DId you take out 21 library books? | 14:47 |
| * ColonelPanic001 sings too many boooooks | 14:47 | |
| cmaloney | ColonelPanic001: Now you're getting it. :) | 14:47 |
| ColonelPanic001 | My wife (then gf) once made me agree to not buy any more books unless I got rid of some to make room for them | 14:48 |
| ColonelPanic001 | now I have a house and am no longer bound bu such dumb agreements | 14:48 |
| cmaloney | Heh | 14:48 |
| cmaloney | I bought another bookshelf and pretty much filled it on the spot | 14:48 |
| cmaloney | with more on the way because I am insane | 14:49 |
| jrwren | yes. greg-g and I were talking yesterday about library use. I said "I've got at least a dozen checked out right now." so when I sat in my reading chair last night, I counted. | 14:51 |
| jrwren | i rarely buy books anymore. | 14:51 |
| cmaloney | Good god that's a lot of books checked out. | 15:02 |
| cmaloney | Though I love love love checking out books from the library and having them store them when I'm done. :) | 15:02 |
| jrwren | exactly! | 15:04 |
| brousch_ | http://thenextweb.com/apps/2014/12/16/pebble-smartwatch-now-supports-android-wear-notifications/ | 15:16 |
| cmaloney | in the beta release | 15:20 |
| cmaloney | I don't think it's been pushed to the mere masses yet. | 15:20 |
| cmaloney | That said I'm refreshing like crazy. :) | 15:21 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I'm holding out until the FDA approves ocular implants | 15:22 |
| ColonelPanic001 | my eyes are fairly crappy anyway | 15:22 |
| cmaloney | I'd rather not | 15:22 |
| cmaloney | That's all I'd need is to have to force-quit my vision | 15:22 |
| ColonelPanic001 | just one eye | 15:22 |
| ColonelPanic001 | you have a spare. | 15:22 |
| ColonelPanic001 | My left eye especially is pretty bad, not legally blind in it or anything, but not exactly sharp vision. Replacing it with a decent cybornetic replacement would be neat. | 15:23 |
| brousch_ | Why replace an eye when you can just add a third one in between the current ones? | 15:23 |
| ColonelPanic001 | brousch_: what, and looks weird? | 15:23 |
| ColonelPanic001 | s/looks/look | 15:23 |
| brousch_ | make it stylish like http://www.shorthairlooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Wedding-Crown-.jpg | 15:25 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I think I might look a bit elven | 15:25 |
| ColonelPanic001 | that strikes me as something an elf would wear | 15:25 |
| brousch_ | See, cool, not weird | 15:25 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I can't argue with that. | 15:26 |
| ColonelPanic001 | You may have won me over. | 15:26 |
| ColonelPanic001 | on the other hand, I could realize my lifelong dream of being a cyborg. | 15:26 |
| brousch_ | good call http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130202120854/lotr/images/9/9f/Elrond_of_Rivendell.jpg | 15:26 |
| ColonelPanic001 | \o/ | 15:27 |
| brousch_ | A third eye wired into your skull is just as cybernetic as replacing an existing eye | 15:28 |
| jrwren | now link a pic of hugo from Priscilla | 15:29 |
| ColonelPanic001 | brousch_: seems easier to just use an existing ocular cavity | 15:29 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I wonder if a third eye would improve depth perception significantly | 15:29 |
| brousch_ | No way. then you are limited to the pre-existing size and ports | 15:30 |
| ColonelPanic001 | If I were Bill Gates Rich, I would probably soon resemble a comic book villian, without all the murder (probably) | 15:30 |
| ColonelPanic001 | invest in artificial limb R&D, then replace all mine with superior ones | 15:31 |
| ColonelPanic001 | etc | 15:31 |
| ColonelPanic001 | it would be a race against my limited human lifespan to find a way to exist in a computer | 15:31 |
| brousch_ | http://www.cyberpunkworld.com/real-life-cyborg-neil-harbisson-and-the-cyborg-foundation/ | 15:31 |
| brousch_ | That is dorky | 15:31 |
| ColonelPanic001 | "sonochromatism" doesn't sound that useful | 15:32 |
| ColonelPanic001 | extending visual range outside of just "visible" light does though | 15:32 |
| brousch_ | Could let you see UV and IR | 15:32 |
| ColonelPanic001 | yeah, but I could do that with the implant | 15:33 |
| ColonelPanic001 | +3 per | 15:33 |
| ColonelPanic001 | <insert Cavil's speech from Battlestar Galactica here> | 15:34 |

| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: around? | 16:20 |
| cmaloney | reminder: CHC tonight from 8-10pm | 16:28 |
| rick_h_ | :( | 16:29 |
| rick_h_ | have fun folks | 16:29 |
| brousch_ | There's no fun without rick_h_ . It is like a funeral | 16:32 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Offer still stands if you want me to drive up and pick you up. | 16:33 |
| cmaloney | If not we'll need to figure out when over the holiday we can jam. :) | 16:33 |
| cmaloney | note: not mutually exclusive. :) | 16:33 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: no way :P | 16:34 |
| rick_h_ | yea, we should party at some point | 16:34 |
| cmaloney | yeah, I need to figure out a day when we can make that happen | 16:37 |
| cmaloney | Stupid holidays are sneaking up on me. | 16:37 |
| cmaloney | Though they're not being too terribly stealthy, but they're sure persistent | 16:38 |
| mrgoodcat | cmaloney: pong | 16:47 |
| mrgoodcat | brousch_: sorry about our game | 16:47 |
| mrgoodcat | i've been so busy i completely forgot about it | 16:48 |
| brousch_ | NP. I assumed you'd died | 16:48 |
| mrgoodcat | heh | 16:48 |
| _stink_ | how's the afterlife | 16:48 |
| mrgoodcat | much like normal life | 16:48 |
| mrgoodcat | but busier | 16:48 |
| _stink_ | geez | 16:49 |
| _stink_ | sounds terrible | 16:49 |
| brousch_ | mrgoodcat: I've found a lot of good, active games in the tournaments | 16:55 |
| mrgoodcat | i forfeited my tournament games too. work is super busy right now | 16:55 |
| cmaloney | mrgoodcat: Yeah, was going to say thanks for the win. :) | 16:59 |
| cmaloney | Hoping things calm down for you. | 16:59 |
| cmaloney | But was more concerned you went AWOL. | 16:59 |
| cmaloney | Good God, The Simpsons is 25 years old today. | 17:01 |
| cmaloney | there are people who can legally drink who have no concept of a Simpsons-free world. | 17:02 |
| greg-g | whoa, I was only 7? that makes sense I guess. I was about perfectly timed for it | 17:30 |
| jrwren | man, that Cavil speech is a great example of why BSG is awesome. | 17:37 |
| jcastro | jrwren, http://www.concentratemedia.com/features/AnnArboraffordable0308.aspx | 19:05 |
| jcastro | greg-g, are you home yet? | 19:05 |
| jrwren | jcastro: the rent is too damned high! | 19:05 |
| greg-g | jcastro: yep, got home at 1:30ish Pacific | 19:05 |
| jcastro | greg-g, ok, will sync next time | 19:05 |
| jrwren | "The middle class cannot afford to live in Ann Arbor. " wtf does that make me? | 19:05 |
| jcastro | If we knock down Michigan Stadium we could build all sorts of high rises there. | 19:06 |
| greg-g | aware of hyperbole | 19:06 |
| greg-g | that was a hella (omg, I'm one of them now) long day. 6:50am Eastern to 4:30am the next day | 19:07 |
| * cmaloney got more Go books for the holidays. :) | 19:07 | |
| cmaloney | (Game, not language) | 19:07 |
| cmaloney | Though I find humor in the Ubuntu of this channel is being replaced by Go (game and language). ;) | 19:08 |
| jrwren | jcastro: this article is very interesting. | 19:08 |
| jcastro | I don't get the appeal of living in downtown AA proper | 19:16 |
| jcastro | but whatever | 19:16 |
| jcastro | 465k for a 100 year old house that's 50 grand somewhere else on the planet, but whatevs | 19:16 |
| jrwren | jcastro: I get the appeal. You get excellent city services and you can walk everywhere. | 19:18 |
| jrwren | walking downtown from a west side house is life changing. | 19:18 |
| jrwren | and I've barely experienced that. | 19:18 |
| jcastro | there's tons of downtowns in the area though | 19:18 |
| jcastro | with less people, less pricey | 19:18 |
| jcastro | though, I doubt Plymouth is cheaper than AA | 19:19 |
| jrwren | none are ann arbor. | 19:19 |
| jrwren | oh, I don't know Plymouth at all. | 19:19 |
| jrwren | Ann Arbor is like iPhone in the "I want the one with the most GBs" video. | 19:19 |
| brousch_ | Hm, yes I remember walking across Ann Arbor. I was so thin back then. | 19:20 |
| brousch_ | Ann Arbor's downtown largely lacks the seedier elements of most towns | 19:20 |
| greg-g | brousch_: true | 19:22 |
| greg-g | I lived .7 miles from downtown/ABC area. It was amazing. | 19:22 |
| greg-g | bad for my liver, but good for social life :) | 19:22 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, if I were more social I'd really appreciate having things within more walking distance | 19:24 |
| greg-g | but really, also nice for A) library B) decent food C) yoga classes D) farmers market E) everyone delivers to you F) uhh, I ran out | 19:28 |
| cmaloney | yeah | 19:32 |
| cmaloney | I can walk to our library but it's about a mile away | 19:32 |
| cmaloney | and it's across a few roads. :) | 19:33 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: and is it a pleasant walk? is crossing roads scary? are you going to get hit by a car? | 19:33 |
| rick_h_ | 2.6mi on the walking desk today woot! no dangerous crossings :P | 19:41 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: #winning | 19:42 |
| rick_h_ | and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1mSYgGN45c ftw | 19:43 |
| rick_h_ | who knew tying shoes could be cool :) | 19:44 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: that just seems convoluted. | 19:46 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: great fit/feel though | 19:46 |
| jrwren | I'll try it someday. :) | 19:46 |
| jrwren | since I don't run, I keep 'em loose and slide 'em on and off | 19:46 |
| rick_h_ | right using it on the walking shoes for the walking day | 19:47 |
| cmaloney | I always wondered what those extra holes were for | 20:21 |
| cmaloney | But I wear converse so no such luck. :) | 20:21 |
| cmaloney | http://bundleofholding.com/index/current/name/Family | 21:07 |
| cmaloney | Family-friendly RPGs | 21:07 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: what do you use for epub on ubuntu? | 21:23 |
| cmaloney | Let me check | 21:29 |
| cmaloney | Honestly for most of my reading I use Google PLay Books | 21:30 |
| cmaloney | But just to see what's in there I use FBReader | 21:30 |
| cmaloney | If you find something better let me know | 21:30 |
| cmaloney | Most of the ones I've seen make XPDF look great. | 21:31 |
| cmaloney | http://tunein.com/radio/Open-Metalcast-p670562/ | 21:33 |
| cmaloney | Yay. :) | 21:33 |
| _stink_ | cool! | 21:41 |
