I overfilled the cat's drinking fountain and it took me several minutes to stop looking for a cup that could be used to scoop water out and start just holding a cup under the water stream

I found this chart a few days ago, lost it again and found it just now. Really useful for working out what a cluster of "flu-like" symptoms might mean.

I just did two things:
1) ran grep(1) out of memory
2) discovered that (one of) the longest word(s) I can make out of the IATA codes I could find easily on Wikipedia is "alphanumeric"
This pleases me to no end.

every gift-giving season i'm amazed that online retailing doesn't have flows built around me buying a gift for someone else.
there's no point adding *me* to your email list for tension wrench enthusiasts, but I'm sure my mom would love to be on it, since she's who's getting a brand spanking new one

I wanted something to get me in a creepy mood — if I'm not fretting that I'm not alone in the house by the end of the night I'll be a little bummed out — so to kick off, I rented MAN FINDS TAPE, and it was a great way to start things off.
