I recognize just enough of these places (or places like them) that it makes me a touch homesick: On Wisconsin (via Coudal.) I'm glad I'm going to be visiting the homeland in a couple weeks.

My complaints and worries about online software and applications being useless when I'm not connected to the web might be answered if Google Gears is adopted and works like promised.

When I do finally decide to shave my beard, I may have to donate it to the Wisconsin Museum of Beards. Mainly because Locks of Love has already turned me down, despite my argument that any kid would love to have a good beard.

Apologies to those of you reading OD via RSS; clearly I need to do less post-post editing to prevent double entries in the RSS feed.

It pains me just to type this: pictures of India's street dentists (via J-Walk.) (Although there is a nice cameo by Flat Stanley in one of those pictures.)

The ZOMBIE programming language:

Introduction
ZOMBIE is a programming language designed for Necromancers, particularly evil ones. (Actually, what other sorts are there?) ZOMBIE is an acronym, and stands for Zombie-Oriented Machine-Being Interface Engine.

Design Principles

• The language should allow the necromancer to animate dead bodies, summon and control spirits, and solve any computable problem.
  
• There should be sensible guarantees against overwriting system memory, monopolising CPU cycles, and releasing malicious entities into the world.
  
• The language must be inherently evil.

Via StoryGames, the Random Game Generator. The first game it generated for me:

Pool Frisbee Bag

Jump in your pool or your friend's pool. Bring a Frisbee and some bean bags. Let the bean bags float around in the water. From outside of the pool, try to hit them with the Frisbee. Whoever can hit the most bags wins and then gets to do a cannonball back into the water.

I would play that game, provided that I could find beanbags that floated.

Lifehacker's Better Gmail extension for Firefox has been proving really useful, with new functionality being added on a regular basis. So I'm excited to see that they're putting together a new package for another of my online favorites: Better Flickr.
